Will Louise Redknapp change her name now Jamie has married again?

Yes, according to Louise!

Back in 2019, the singer opened up on the possibility of changing her name if her former husband was to get married again.

When asked if she would drop Jamie’s name, Louise told The Guardian’s G2 Magazine: “Umm no. It’s such a Mum thing, but the thought of not having the same name as my kids, I could cry thinking about it.”

Meanwhile, Louise and Jamie married in Bermuda in June 1998.

They parted ways in 2017 after Louise took part in Strictly Come Dancing.

In her book, You’ve Got This, the mum-of-two revealed the show went on to cause the “heartbreak” of her divorce.

She penned: “If I’d done the show four years earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. I wouldn’t have walked away from my marriage.”

In addition, Louise said: “I still wish I’d done things differently because I feel like I hurt a lot of people and I’ll always be sorry for that.

“I felt like certain people had my back, and, in hindsight this wasn’t really the case. I was so scared about going back to normal life and losing what I’d achieved on the show.”
