Louise Redknapp overcome with emotion as she celebrate son's huge milestone

Louise Redknapp is in disbelief at the fact she is the mother of a 21-year-old son. The 50-year-old pop singer is a proud mum-of-two, sharing sons Charley and Beau with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp, 52.

The former Eternal singer often features video clips and snaps of her family life online, and on Sunday she shone a spotlight on her eldest son as he reached a landmark year in age. Taking to Instagram, the Light of My Life singer shared a carousel of content about her son.

She uploaded photos of her son from the days he was a baby through to his time now as a young man. She featured in some of the images herself - with the cover image showing her and Charley smiling as they posed side-by-side together.

The final slide showed Louise and family members raising a glass to cheers Charley - who towered over most of them. She wrote in an accompanying caption: "How did this happen?! my baby is 21 years old today!!!"

In a gushing tribute, she continued: "Chaz I am so proud of you and the charming young man you have become, you’ve been my partner in crime and shadow since day one and nothing makes me happier than seeing you living your best life.

"You have an incredible future ahead of you keep on working hard and absolutely smashing it. I would however like to request that you now at the age of 21 learn how to wash up, turn the lights off and pick your clothes up off the bedroom floor… but maybe we’ll get there for next year."

And she concluded: "Happy Birthday Charley, Have the most amazing day! We love you so much. Love Mum."

Charley's dad Jamie, who was married to Louise from 1998 until 2017, also took to social media to celebrate over the weekend. Sharing a collection of snaps himself, the football legend wrote: "21 today.

"So proud of the man you’re becoming and even prouder to call you not just my son, but my mate. Keep putting in the work, your dreams are within reach."

Name checking his other son with Louise, 16-year-old Beau, and three-year-old Raphael who he shares with wife Frida Andersson, 41, Jamie continued: "You’re also the best big brother, the way you are with Rapha and Beau melts my heart. Such a great role model, and they’re so lucky to have you."

He went on: "Now that you’re 21, I’m hoping you’ll finally start beating me at golf… but I won’t make it easy! Can’t wait for a few days on the course together."

And Jamie added: "So excited for everything ahead of you. Love you so much my Charley boy."

Jamie's collection of photos showed him posing alongside his eldest son - while his cover image showed Jamie, Charley and Raphael celebrating with cake together. While other images showed Charley from across the years.

A concluding snap showed Jamie with all three of his sons relaxing in a swimming pool together. Step-mum Frida was among those responding in the comments, writing: "Happy happy Birthday Charley" alongside a string of balloon emojis.
