Louise, Jamie Redknapp bat away divorce

Louise and Jamie Redknapp have hit back at claims they are fighting to save their 18-year-marriage. The couple, who share children Charles, 12, and Beau, 7, were alleged to have been rocked by the shift in Louise’s career, brought on by her impressive stint on Strictly Come Dancing, sources told The Sun.

However, a representative for the Redknapps hit back at the report, saying: “Rumours of separation are completely untrue. Louise and Jamie are looking forward to a nice weekend celebrating (Jamie's birthday).” The reports seemed unlikely since the former Liverpool and England footballer Jamie, 43, and singer Louise, 42, were considered to be one of the most solid couples in showbiz.

“They still love each other and are desperate to make it work. Both of them are determined to get through this,” a source had told the publication. Louise has reportedly been touring for seven months, while Jamie has been away from home for football season, which was said to have put added pressure on their marriage.
