SINGER Louise Redknapp has split from her boyfriend of over two years Drew Michael.
It was her first serious romance since the breakdown of her 19-year marriage to football pundit Jamie Redknapp, 53, almost a decade ago.
The ex-Eternal girl group star, 51, separated from the businessman and former Army officer, 42, earlier this year.
They had been dating since autumn 2023 but called time on the relationship and he is believed to have left the UK.
However, friends insist she is thriving as a singleton and she recently jetted off twice on girls’ trips to Ibiza.
A source said: “Louise and Drew decided to end things a little while ago.
“Things had been really good between them but it felt like their relationship had run its course and they both thought it was best to move on.
“It was all very amicable and although it’s never fun when a relationship ends, Louise has thrown herself back into her social life and her busy work schedule.
Drew’s thought to have moved abroad for work so it’s been a clean break.
“She’s in no rush to jump back into another relationship because she feels very fulfilled with her life right now, but she’ll see what happens.”
Speaking about Drew last year, she said their relationship had inspired the track Manifesting on her fifth solo album, Confessions.
Louise, who shares sons Charley, 22, and Beau, 17, with Jamie, added: “Drew is great with my boys.
“He’s just a really great guy.
“I feel very lucky to have met him.”
She is now gearing up for her Naked Confessions UK tour next spring, when she will perform songs from her latest album and mark 30 years since her solo debut, Naked.
Louise separated from Jamie in 2017 following a stint on Strictly.
She said of their separation: “I couldn’t just keep on kind of just being there existing — I’m an entertainer.”
Jamie went on to wed model Frida Andersson in 2021 and they have a son, Raphael, four.
