Louise Redknapp has stated that she is ‘open’ to dating again.
The 48-year-old singer was married to footballer Jamie Redknapp from 1998 to 2018, and they had two boys, Charley, 18, and Beau, 14.
In an interview this week, the former Strictly Come Dancing judge stated that while she is not ‘actively hunting’ for a new companion, she has a ‘open heart’ for whatever the future offers.
‘People ask me about dating and although I wouldn’t say I ever go out actively looking, I’ve got an open heart for what the future may bring,’ doting mum Louise explained.
‘Right now, though, all of my energy goes into my boys and my job,’ she added to The Sunday Times.
‘I speak to Charley, who is at university in Arizona, every day. I still have the occasional night out drinking cocktails as I love to let my hair down. If Luther Vandross comes on, you’ll find me on the dancefloor.’
Meanwhile, the Naked hitmaker, who rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Eternal and has subsequently gone on to a successful career in music and on stage, said that she has ‘no idea’ if her boys think she is ‘cool,’ but assured that she has a ‘wonderful connection’ with them.
Louise noted that they are massively supportive of her career, saying: ‘I’ve no idea if my boys think I’m a cool mum, but I have a great relationship with both of them and they’re super-supportive of what I do.
‘They don’t say too much because they’re teenagers, but I know they’re proud, which I sometimes hear when they don’t realise I’m in earshot!’
‘I’ve got nobody telling me what’s going to work and what’s not going to work anymore,’ the popstar said late last year to Fault magazine, claiming that she has begun appreciating music so much more after lockdown.
‘I’ve reached the stage in life where I might as well put out stuff I love rather than trying to feed the masses.
‘I’m in such a positive place, which is really nice. I feel when you’re a songwriter and an artist, your mood is reflected in your music.’
