When did Drew Michael and Louise Redknapp meet?
Drew and Louise were first pictured together in September 2023.
The pop star was seen leaving London's The Groucho Club in Soho together and walked side by side.
The Sun contacted a representative for Louise for comment.
In early 2023, Louise told The Sun that she wasn't fretting about finding a new man having been single for six years following 19 years of marriage.
Ex Jamie Redknapp, who she shares two sons Charlie and Beau, has since remarried and had a baby with new wife Frida Andersson.
Louise said: “I’m just open to what may happen. I’m not actively out there looking. It’s not my number-one goal in life.
“But, if it goes that way and I met somebody who swept me off my feet and was amazing and kind and great, then I’d be so open to exploring that.
“But no, I’m not downloading apps. Well, not at the minute…
“I’ve put so much into rebuilding my career after a long break. Opportunities don’t just happen because people know who you are.
“And for me, it’s really important to be respected in what I do.

“If I did meet that great person, I would never hide it. If they are right, they are right. And I would be the first to embrace it and share it.
“But I’m not at the stage in life where I want to just do something for the sake of it. If it happens, it happens. And if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
