Louise Redknapp has finally addressed rumours about her reported split from footballer Jamie Redknapp during an interview with ITV’s This Morning on Friday.

There has been much speculation about the state of Jamie and Louise’s relationship.

Recent reports have claimed Louise is hoping for a ‘quickie divorce’ while Jamie has not yet spoken about their marriage.

Louise finally spoke about Jamie during today’s show with hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.

She told the presenters that her and Jamie, who have been married for 19 years, are focusing on their two sons Beau and Charley.

Eamonn, 57, was quick to ask the star what’s going on with her and Jamie and whether there is any truth in the split rumours.

Louise, 42, said: “Our priority is our children and putting them first, that’s what we are focusing on.”

She went on to explain that getting back to work has been a “savior” for her.

The singer added: “Going back to work is something that has been a real saviour for me.”

This comes after the Sunday People reported that an insider had told them that Louise was looking for a ‘quickie divorce’ earlier this month.

The source said: “Louise wants to put steps in place to end her ­marriage to Jamie by the end of year.

“They are no closer to getting back together since when they first split in July.

“Louise now wants to agree a timetable with Jamie to bring the marriage to an end.”

But Louise has caused confusion among her fans after sharing a snap from a recent photo shoot and she’s sporting her diamond ring.

The stunning black and white shot shows the former Eternal singer make-up free and wearing a simple white shirt.

With a strong, defiant look to the camera, she has her hand under her chin, with the gleam of her ring clearly visible.

She captioned the image by commenting on her preparation for her upcoming tour of Cabaret: “#HappyMonday back in the rehearsal studio this week giving Sally Bowles all iv got #cabaret.”

Meanwhile earlier this week Jamie, 44, appeared to crop Louise out of a family photo on social media suggesting that the estranged couple are over for good.

The original photo was posted by Louise on her Instagram in 2015, and she was next to Jamie.

It might seem a bit of a brutal move from Jamie but maybe he just wants to move on?

News that the two’s marriage was breaking down came earlier this year with a pal telling The Sun that it was the end of the road for them.

They said: “Louise told one of her closest friends she and Jamie had split.

“Louise was quite open about the fact the relationship was over.

“She mentioned how much time they had spent apart and that when she and Jamie had tried to spend time together it hadn’t been good.

“It’s a very difficult situation because of their two children who they are both determined to protect.”
