Jamie Redknapp 'heartbroken' over the death of the dog he shares with ex wife Louise

Jamie Redknapp has paid tribute to his beloved dog Blu, who died this week.

The former England footballer shared a sweet snap of the Shar Pei walking through woodland with the caption: "Goodbye beautiful girl we will miss you so much".

The 48-year-old is currently on his honeymoon with his new wife Frida Andersson and their newborn baby Raphael.

His ex wife Louise first announced the pet's passing on Instagram with a lengthy and heartfelt caption.

"I am absolutely heartbroken that we had to say goodbye to our little girl Blu early this morning," she wrote.

"I am going to miss you so much my darling girl, your escaping through the fence, chasing the squirrels out of the garden, our long walks in the woods watching you run carefree, going upstairs when we say 'bed time' and getting on mummy’s bed instead of in your own and most of all your kisses and cuddles every day.

"I wanted to share this with you because I know so many of you follow their Insta page and loved seeing what Blu and Rudi were up to and loved them as much as we did.

"We’ll miss you so much, sleep tight our gorgeous Bluebells, " she continued. "Love you forever Mummy, Chaz and Beau Beaus Xxx".

She was met with support from famous pals, with Martine McCutcheon leaving the comment: "I’m so sorry Angel. Sending so much love: x".

"I’m so sorry darling," wrote singer Anastacia.

And Strictly pro Karen Hauer shared: "So sorry lovely, sending love".

Jamie, 48, is currently on his honeymoon with his wife Frida and their newborn son Raphael.

The sad news would have put a dampener on Jamie's Maldives getaway where he and his new wife have been staying at the five star One&Only Reethi Rah resort.

The couple who started dating in 2019, got hitched in October.

Just a few weeks after saying "I do", they welcomed their first child together.

Sharing the news that they had welcomed a baby into the world, Jamie said: "Meet Raphael Anders Redknapp we're so In love, mum is doing so well too."

"We can't thank the amazing doctors and nurses at the Chelsea and Westminster enough. So excited for him to meet my boys."

Jamie also has sons Charley and Beau who he shares with Louise.

The couple went their separate ways after 19 years of marriage

Louise said that she had grown tired of being a "Stepford Wife", where she was always trying to be the perfect wife and mum.

"I wanted kids so much, I was happy to put everything on hold for them," she said.

"Standing by and watching Jamie become this entertainment star was pretty hard. I was proud of him, but there was part of me thinking, 'that's my world'. I could see the excitement he got out of it and I knew how that felt. But it wasn't me feeling it anymore."
