louise redknappJamie and Louise Redknapp were celebrating the arrival of their second child last night after the former Eternal singer gave birth to a baby boy.

The couple spent four years trying to conceive their first son Charley and admit it was a surprise to find the second pregnancy happened so quickly, taking just a month.

The as-yet unnamed boy was born at London’s Portland Hospital yesterday evening and new dad, soccer star Jamie is quoted as saying: “Mum and baby are doing great. He’s a healthy baby boy.”

A source added that Mum, Dad and baby are “looking forward to getting to know each other”.

Louise revealed recently that she’s worked throughout the pregnancy, recording a new album: “I love working and my career is important to me. When I had Charley I just focused on having a baby.

“[But this time] I’ve worked right up to the final weeks of my pregnancy and I’ve loved every minute of it.”
