Louise Redknapp has been left stunned after discovering that her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp is expecting a baby with his girlfriend Frida Andersson-Lourie, according to reports.
It’s claimed that the singer only found out about Frida’s pregnancy through family members and is shocked that Jamie – with whom she shares sons Charley, 16, and Beau, 12 – is to become a dad for the third time.
A source close to the singer revealed, “Louise was knocked sideways by the news. Jamie didn't tell her directly, she found out through family."
They told OK!, “She's happy for them both and says life goes on but at the same time, she's shocked by how quickly he's moved on and that he'll be a new dad again at nearly 50. A new baby is always a joy but she is concerned at how it will impact their family dynamic."
Jamie and his model girlfriend Frida began dating 18 months ago following his split from Louise in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.
