Jamie Redknapp's 'secret girlfriend revealed as British model' after split from ex Louise
Jamie Redknapp is reportedly dating British model Lizzie Bowden.
The former footballing pro, 45, who split from wife Louise Redknapp in 2017, was photographed on a night out in London with the 34-year-old over the weekend.
The Sun reports that Jamie has been “biding his time” out of respect for his ex-wife but is “finally” ready to move on.
“Jamie has bided his time out of courtesy to Louise. They’re still close but now might be the time he finally starts dating again,” a source told the paper.
Standard Online has contacted representatives for Jamie for comment.
Bowden has appeared in campaigns for British high street brands New Look and Wallis, and was previously linked to Rolling Stones star Ronnie Woods’ son Tyrone.
Jamie and Louise married in 1998 on a luxury yacht in Bermuda, and share two sons, Charley, 15, and Beau, 10.
The singer filed for divorce in 2017, saying that their relationship had irretrievably broken down because of Jamie’s “unreasonable behaviour”.
In January, she insisted that although the divorce had been “really tough” for the family, her ex remains her “best friend.”
“It’s been really tough but things happen. I saw him yesterday and it was all good,” she told Heart Radio’s Jamie Theakston.
Earlier this week, Louise, who is currently starring in the West End production of Dolly Parton musical 9 to 5, revealed that her ex’s work commitments have impacted on her time off work.
Speaking on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio, she explained that she has to spend her one day off taking her sons to sports practice, as Jamie’s career as a sports pundit means that he is often busy over the weekends.

“I do all eight shows a week so I have Sunday off,” she told Evans.
“We do go out, but Sunday morning is sport morning, I’m on the rugby pitch for four hours.
“Jamie works a lot on the weekend because he’s at the football. My older one doesn’t even appreciate it, he’s like, ‘Why are you here?’”
