Jamie Redknapp's intimate family moments with his towering teenage sons

Jamie Redknapp and his second wife Frida Redknapp often share photos of their little Raphael, but the footballer's two eldest sons are more private.

Before marrying the model, Sky Sports pundit Jamie, 50, was married to his ex-wife Louise Redknapp from 1998 until 2018, during which time they welcomed sons Charley, 19, and Beau, 15 . their split, which he said “worked out really well” as they shared homeschooling duties amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Jamie's blended family with his wife Frida – whom he married in October 2021 – also includes his four children from his marriage to American hedge fund tycoon Jonathan Lourie, and their shared son Raphael.

Today, with his eldest Charley away at college in Arizona, photos of Jamie with his teenagers are fewer and farther between. While many noted the father-son similarities between Jamie, Charley and Beau, he clarified that they weren't necessarily following in his footsteps in their careers.

Jamie and Frida share their son Raphael

In a candid interview with Project Footballer in 2021, Jamie admitted he “regrets” pressuring Charley to take an interest in football when he was a child. Jamie said: “My 17-year-old son, I probably pushed him too much and probably ended up pushing him away from football because I was so desperate for him to do it.

“I'd say to him, 'Go out in the garden. Let's go do something,' and he'd say, 'I don't really want Dad.' I'd say, 'Why? Why don't you want to go out and play football?' '. But why should he do it? Just because I played football doesn't mean it's right for him.

Take a look at some of the most memorable family photos of Jamie and his sons, who grew big enough to tower over him…

Proud dad

Charley was already a few inches taller than Jamie in 2021 when he was pictured in a birthday tribute – and Jamie even acknowledged him in his post! “Happy Birthday Charley. Have the best friend of the year. So proud of the man you are becoming. Keep working hard, keep smiling and keep making me laugh. And yes, I think you are finally bigger than me. I love you big man. Your father xx.”

Even if his sons don't pursue a career in football, that doesn't mean they can't enjoy a trip to watch a game with their famous father. “Champions League with the boys,” Jamie wrote alongside a photo of the trio in the stands. Jamie and Beau looked relaxed in matching white T-shirts, while brothers Beau and Charley sported almost identical unruly blonde hair.

The beach boys

A boys' outing isn't complete without a photo in the pool – with matching swim shorts, of course!

Best men

Jamie turned to his boys to be his best men when he married his second wife Frida. Dressed to the nines for the special occasion, Jamie and Beau wore smart black suits, white shirts and black ties, while Charley chose a gray suit with a patterned tie.

Weekend

Jamie and his second eldest son were pictured striking the same pose as they dined during a weekend away in Manchester. Like father, like son!

Birthday tribute

In 2022, Jamie marked his son's birthday by posting a carousel of photos with the message: “Happy 14th birthday, Beau. So proud of you. Keep working hard at everything you do. I love you so much .Have the best day Dad.” The post showed the Sun spending time together at the beach, taking a selfie in the car and sharing a special moment at Jamie's wedding.

Family dinner

After enjoying a nice swim in the ocean in January, the family gathered for a hearty dinner at the pub. While Jamie, Beau and the rest of the clan wore matching black sweaters, it seems Charley didn't get the memo in his gray knit.

Family resemblance

Beau was his father's doppelganger during a football outing in 2022. They sported the same smile and blue eyes, while Charley towered over them both.

Matching hair

Beau dressed down his suit pants with a hoodie as he attended a wedding with Jamie. Despite his more casual outfit, he wore the same side part and swept back hair as his father.

Complete team

The whole family came together for a rare photo in 2019. Jamie's parents, Harry and Sandra Redknapp, smiled alongside Jamie and his lookalike sons for a sports day on the football field.
