Louise Redknapp ended 2023 by making things Instagram-official with Drew Michael, her first boyfriend since her split from ex-husband Jamie, last November.

And now it seems the Eternal singer, 49, and Drew, 40, are going from strength to strength after their loved-up romantic ski trip.

Months after they were first linked, the pair spent the first week of February getting their ski on among the snowy peaks. In a series of photos and videos shared to Instagram by Louise, the couple were seen hitting the slopes and enjoying the aprés.

Joking around, Louise was the first to admit that her skiing skills left a little to be desired when compared to her partner’s, captioning her post, “All the gear and no idea”.

And now insiders say the pair are so loved-up that mum-of-two Louise – who split from Jamie in 2017 after nearly 20 years of marriage – could consider heading down the aisle once again.

A source tells Closer, “Louise is madly in love and is already talking to pals about settling down again – admitting that while she initially swore-off getting married again, Drew has turned that all on its head.”

Louise’s romance with Drew marks her first relationship since the end of her marriage to footballer Jamie. The former couple, who married in 1998 and share sons Charley, 19, and Beau, 15, announced their separation in September 2017 and were divorced in December that year.

Jamie, meanwhile, married model Frida Andersson, 40, in 2021. The pair have one child, two-year-old son Raphael, together.

Louise remained single for more than six years, “holding off” on dating to focus on her kids. She and Drew were first linked when they were papped leaving Soho’s The Groucho Club together in the autumn.

The source adds, “Louise learnt a lot from her marriage breakdown with Jamie and she’s taken that all into her new relationship – learning the importance of being herself and doing what she loves aside from her role as a mum.

“She felt like she lost herself a lot during motherhood… and Drew has helped her enormously in her journey of rediscovery and paving out a new future for herself.

“Louise took her time before jumping back in the dating pool but now she’s with Drew, she says it was 100 per cent worth the wait.”
