He and Frida have quite the blended family, with the Swedish-born model also the mother of four children from her relationship with American hedge fund mogul Jonathan Lourie.
This means that the couple have a blended family of seven children from their respective previous marriages.
Jamie was married to Eternal girlband member Louise for 19 years before their split, and his father, football manager Harry, recently admitted it was “difficult” for his family when the couple divorced.
Harry shared that neither his son nor his daughter-in-law were ‘used’ to the idea of divorce, but he and his wife Sandra swore they would ‘never interfere’.

Speaking to The Times, he added that despite the challenges of Jamie’s divorce, they had all managed to stay on good terms, with the footballer now moving on with his new wife, Frida Andersson.
In a joint interview with his wife Sandra, Harry reflected on Jamie’s divorce from Louise in 2017 after 19 years of marriage.
He said: “It was hard when Jamie and Louise got divorced because our parents were married until they died, so we weren’t used to that.”
However, we try never to interfere and we have all managed to remain friends. Everyone seems happy now.
