‘DEVASTATED is not a strong enough word'

Louise has been left heartbroken by Jamie’s baby news – and friends say that it came as a complete shock to her

- 

Louise Redknapp has always been open about her desire to remain close to ex-husband Jamie, and previously insisted they’re still ‘best friends’ following their divorce in 2018.

Which is why the bombshell that Jamie, 47, is expecting his first child with girlfriend Frida Andersson knocked 46-year-old Louise sideways – because, Woman understands, she found out the same way as the rest of us.

A well-placed source says, ‘Devastated is not a strong enough word. It’s almost like she can’t quite process the news. If there’s one thing Lou didn’t expect to be hit with at this time of her life, it’s that her ex is having a baby. This has absolutely poleaxed her.’
