Jamie Redknapp has admitted his split from ex-wife Louise Redknapp was difficult.

The former golden couple were married for 19 years before their shock break-up in 2017 and Jamie revealed it took some time to adjust but now the pair are happily co-parenting their sons, 16-year-old Charley and 12-year-old Beau, together.
Speaking on the 'Headliners' podcast, Jamie, 47, said: "It's never easy but you have to make sure the kids come first and foremost and you make sure that you're there to support them as much as possible."
He went on to praise his 45-year-old ex-wife for supporting their son Charley at rugby, saying: "His mum's brilliant."
Meanwhile, although Louise recently revealed she is single, Jamie has reportedly found love with a Swedish model.
The former footballer was spotted in August with mother-of-four Frida Andersson-Lourie and the pair are believed to have met through mutual friends.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper at the time: "Jamie feels ready to move on from his marriage to Louise and is happy to be doing it with someone who has kids too and is financially secure.
"It's early days for Jamie and Frida, but they have grown close and are really enjoying spending time together when they can.
"He really gets on with Frida and she has been very understanding about him juggling fatherhood and his successful TV career.
"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."
The romance with Frida, 37 - who is divorced from American hedge fund tycoon Jonathan Lourie, 58 - is Jamie's first confirmed relationship since his and Louise's split.
Meanwhile, Louise previously revealed her and Jamie's sons are desperate for their parents to rekindle their romance.
Louise said: "[Charley] is super-protective over me. But he knows he can talk about anything and doesn't need to be embarrassed, I'm so open. One morning he said to me, 'If you ever did want to go on a date, I'd be OK with it.' It was actually a big moment as he'd always been quite vocal that I'd never go on a date. They always hope their mum and dad will work things out."
