Louise Redknapp has revealed her mum thought she would get back together with Jamie.
The former Eternal singer and the ex-Liverpool FC captain divorced in 2017 - but her mum, Lynne Nurding, didn't think the split would be permanent. - as Mirror Online reports.
The 47-year-old opened up on how the emotional heart-to hearts she had with her mum following the divorce inspired the lyrics to the 2019 song Breaking Back Together.

Louise told Steve Anderson's Such A Good Feeling podcast: "She said to me, 'You know what Lou, sometimes you have to break to come back together. You are going to have to accept that this isn't gonna go away overnight'."
The singer said Lynne's advice came while she was staying at her mum's "tiny little house" with sons Charley, 17, and Beau, 13, following the divorce.
She said the idea of breaking up and getting back together hit home with her and inspired her to write the lyrics to the song.
Jamie has since remarried and welcomed a son with Frida Andersson - and Louise recently issued a clarifying statement in response to claims from Heat Magazine she was in "secret despair" after Jamie's baby joy.
She wrote: "I try not to read or respond to these things but sometimes they are unavoidable. I’d really love to clarify that “Louise” is not in despair or anything like it!!
"I have my two gorgeous boys that I adore more than anything in the world, the best family around me and I’m having the time of my life with my career and with the most wonderful friends that a girl could hope for.
"Here's to all the ladies out there that are in control of their lives and living their very best lives!"
