Louise Redknapp revealed she’s ‘been through a lot’ as she discussed her life following her split from Jamie Redknapp. The former couple, who share sons Charley and Beau, announced they had separated in September 2017, and by December that same year, they were divorced.

Jamie went on to marry Swedish model Frida Andersson, with the two welcoming a so named Raphael. Meanwhile, Louise wasn’t in any serious relationships until she met Drew Michael, who is a businessman nine years her junior. In a new interview, Louise admitted she’s still ‘learning everyday you need to love yourself’ as she discussed her personal life.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: “I’ve been through a lot. I’m working on it. It’s not easy. But I’m learning every day that you need to love yourself.

“I’ve finally realised it’s all right to fight for yourself and, if you don’t love you, then you will be useless to everyone else.”

She also touched upon the age gap in her relationship with Drew, saying it’s ‘not that big of a gap’, before adding: “I don’t feel a lot older than him and I don’t behave older.”

Earlier this year, Louise admitted her children saved her from reaching a low point following her split from football star Jamie.

On Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, Louise explained: “If I didn’t have my kids, I just, I think I would have just given up. I really do. I think I just knew that my kids were my everything and they needed me.”

During the chat, she discussed how the public scrutiny of the breakdown of her marriage affected her. “But I can honestly say, when you’re going through something so personal in your own turmoil in your own way, but then to get the barrage of judgment and nastiness,” she continued.

“I never realised people could be so unkind and say such terrible things. I blew my mind. I was going through a lot as it was.

“I was trying to be strong for my kids, whatever had gone on in our life was private – which I do believe that you’re entitled to no matter what.

“And God, I was such a villain, and I was breaking like I was absolutely breaking. Beyond what I thought it was possible for a human to break and all along I’m still trying to be a mum.

“And it was just like every time I went out, and I was trying to put a brave face on and do things, like that was wrong if I didn’t. I felt like everything I did was so wrong.”
