Louise Redknapp 'not bothered' about dating and has 'no interesting in using apps'

Louise Redknapp is enjoying being single and is apparently not bothered about meeting someone new.

The former Eternal singer, 46, split with her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp in 2017 after nearly 20 years of marriage.

While he's moved on with his new girlfriend Frida Andersson-Lourie, who he is expecting a baby with, Louise has stayed single since their breakup.

And it's claimed that she's very happy to stay that way, and has no interested in meeting someone on a dating app.

A source told new! magazine: "Louise is putting so much effort into her career right now. She's still not bothered about dating yet.

"If she meets someone, she meets someone. But she won't force it. She's not interested in any dating apps — she'd prefer to meet someone organically.

"But she feels love will find her when it's meant to.

"Until then, she's happy as she is."

Louise split with Jamie after she did Strictly Come Dancing, and claimed she felt she had lost her identity and become like a "Stepford Wife" as she focused on being a wife to Jamie and mum to their sons Charley, 16, and Beau, 12.

The source continued: "Louise feels she lost her identity in her marriage with Jamie.

"Now she's ready to do the things she's always wanted to in her career and feels free.

"When Jamie announced the news about the baby, she faced up to it and dealt with all of her emotions.

"As the due date gets closer, she's just keeping herself busy and making a new life for herself.

"She's just getting her head down and letting her career flourish.

"She has an amazing single life full of independence and success."

The Mirror has contacted a rep for Louise Redknapp and is currently awaiting comment.

Reports that Jamie and his new girlfriend are expecting their first baby together, his third child, first emerged back in May.

A source told The Sun at the time: "Jamie and Frida are absolutely delighted.

"They've been virtually inseparable in lockdown, and their relationship has gone from strength to strength.

"The couple started telling their nearest and dearest last week. Jamie's been telling pals he's really excited to be a dad again — less excited about the sleepless nights, and ­nappy-changing."

They added that the couple will be "hands-on parents."

The new baby will be Frida's fifth child as she is already a mother to four children from her marriage to US hedge fund manager Jonathan Lourie.
