Jamie Redknapp is dating Swedish model Frida Andersson-Lourie following his split from ex-wife Louise, according to reports.

The former footballer, 47, was photographed heading on a dog walk with the mother-of-four, 37, near his home in Surrey last week in pictures obtained by The Sun.

It is thought to be Jamie’s first confirmed relationship since his split from Louise, with whom he shares two sons, after 19 years of marriage.

She is a familiar face at high society parties and currently lives with her four children in a lavish mansion in West London after divorcing 58-year-old American hedge fund tycoon Jonathan Lourie.

Lourie appeared on the Sunday Times Rich List in 2013 when he was estimated to be worth £80 million. 

The source added: ‘He likes that she’s also a parent so fully appreciates the balance, she is also keen on her fitness and loves spending time at home.’  

MailOnline has contacted Jamie’s representative for comment.

The revelation comes after it was reported that Jamie’s ex-wife Louise was helped through the difficult divorce with the help of her pal who works as a dominatrix.

Sources recently claimed that the singer was supported throughout the split by her longtime friend Charli Hooper, who charges around £4,000 a night as her alter-ego Queenie Gold.

Louise has been open about struggling to move on from her ‘tough divorce’ from footballer Jamie following their split in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.

A source told The Sun on Sunday that Louise’s pal Charli has encouraged her to bounce back from her divorce by sharing a slew of scantily-clad snaps on Instagram.

The source added: ‘Louise adores Queenie, or Charli, as she calls her. They’ve been together through thick and thin and have supported each other through break-ups.

‘Queenie has really helped Louise regain her confidence after her marriage collapse and oozes body positivity. She’s helped Louise realise that she has a fantastic figure and is in her prime.

‘At a time when many women feel over the hill, Queenie has encouraged Louise to embrace her body in her forties and always champions her on social media. She’s her biggest cheerleader.’

MailOnline contacted representatives for Louise Redknapp and Queenie Gold for comment at the time.

Louise has been incredibly open about struggling to move on from her divorce from Jamie following their split in 2017.

In March the former Eternal singer insisted they have a healthy co-parenting relationship, and they continued to ‘prioritise’ their children Charley, 16, and Beau, 11.

She said on Lorraine: ‘I don’t think you wake up one morning and think, ”oh I’ve lost myself”.

‘I think you get into a pattern and then it takes work to get out of that. It took me for everything to really fall apart for that to happen.

‘It’s the toughest thing anyone will ever go through its the toughest thing I’ve ever gone through in my life.’
