‘I’m crying 10 times a day’: Louise Redknapp considered moving to America to be near son Charley, 18, as he attends university in Arizona
Louise Redknapp has admitted she considered moving to the States in order to be near son Charley as he attends university in Arizona.
The Eternal singer, 47, said that while she was proud of her eldest child, 18, she was struggling with the thought of being apart and ‘crying 10 times a day’ over it.
Louise revealed: ‘I keep crying. I cry like 10 times a day at the moment, like if someone’s nice to me I start crying like, “Sorry it’s just my son’s going to university.”’

She continued in a chat with Metro: ‘Everyone who’s had kids go off to university say, it’s normal. I’m super proud of him but, God, I’m gonna miss him.’
Louise added that while she had wanted to move Stateside with Charley she didn’t want to disrupt the life of younger son Beau, who she shares with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp.
She explained: ‘It is something that I would do but I’ve got Beau. Beau’s life is still very much here and Beau’s only 13 so I would never take off and live in another country when Beau’s life is here, school, football and obviously his dad so I would never take him away and I would never leave him.’
‘There are some days where I think it would be nice to experience another country and a bit of a fresh start, but also I’m not sure what I’d do for work.’

Louise’s comments came after she revealed the impact ex Jamie’s new marriage had on their sons.
Ex footballer Jamie married model Frida Andersson, 38, in October 2021 and welcomed their first child, son Raphael, together in November.
Yet Louise revealed that she has held off dating to focus on being ‘the one staple’ for Charley and Beau following her 2018 divorce.
Speaking to HELLO! about life four years on from her divorce, Louise confessed the split and Jamie’s new marriage have had a lasting impact on their sons.
‘I’ve felt this as a mum and, to say this in the most sort of respectful way, my boys’ lives changed dramatically and then it changed again when obviously Jamie got married and had a family,’ she explained.

Explaining why she hasn’t dated recently, Louise pointed out: ‘Their life changed and I felt like I needed to be their one staple.’
‘That’s just something I think a lot of mums would feel.’
Revealing she’s ‘not trawling through dating sites,’ Louise said ‘I’m not averse to dating or meeting somebody.’
‘My boys will be absolutely fine if I’m dating or if I’m going out with anyone, they will be my biggest supporters as long as I’m happy. Like they’re like, ‘Yeah mum, you should.”’
Louise and Jamie split in 2017 after 19 years of marriage following Louise’s stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
Frida and Jamie share seven children between them, with the model also mum to four children with her ex-husband, American hedge fund manager Jonathan Lourie.
