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

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

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

Now, with his eldest Charley at university in Arizona, Jamie's photos with his teenage kids have become fewer and farther between. While many have noted the father-son similarities between Jamie, Charley and Beau, he clarified that they are not necessarily following in his footsteps with their career.

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

"I’d be like, 'Come out in the garden. Let’s go do something', and he’d go, 'I don’t really want to dad'. I’d reply, 'Why? Why don’t you want to come out and play football?'. But why should he? Just because I played football, it doesn’t make it right for him."

Take a look at some of the most memorable family photos of Jamie and his sons, who have grown tall 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 it in his message! "Happy birthday Charley. Have the best year mate. So proud of the man you’re becoming. Keep working hard, keep smiling and please keep making me laugh. And yes I think you’re finally taller than me. Love you big man. Your Dad xx."

Football bonding

Even though his sons may not be pursuing a career in football, doesn't mean that they can't enjoy a trip to watch a match with their famous father. "Champions League with the boys," Jamie wrote next to a snap of the trio in the stands. Jamie and Beau looked relaxed in matching white T-shirts, while brothers Beau and Charley modelled near-identical unruly blonde hair.

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 dapper black suits, white shirts and black ties, while Charley chose a grey suit with a patterned tie.

Birthday tribute

Back in 2022, Jamie marked his son's birthday by posting a carousel of photos alongside 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 brisk swim in the ocean in January, the family gathered for a hearty dinner in the pub. While Jamie, Beau and the rest of the clan wore matching black jumpers, it appears as though Charley didn't get the memo in his grey knit.
