She shared her experience of being publicly criticized and labeled as a “villain” after their split. In a recent podcast interview with Fearne Cotton, Louise expressed how challenging it was to deal with negative comments while also managing her personal struggles. She acknowledged that she was granted a divorce in December 2017. Meanwhile, Jamie, 51, has moved on with his partner Frida Andersson, marrying her in October 2021 and welcoming their son, Raphael, in November 2021. Louise, who has two sons, Charley and Beau, said her children gave her strength. She felt a deep sadness and couldn’t see a way out during the hardest moments. “If I didn't have my kids, I just... would have just given up," she confessed. She expressed shock at the cruelty of public judgment, saying it was overwhelming. "I never realized people could be so unkind," she noted. Louise continues to navigate her personal life and is now dating Drew Michael, whom she describes as “great” and “lovely.”
