• e-mail

She's jetted to Mallorca alone with her children following the news she has 'confirmed her widely-speculated split from husband Jamie Redknapp to pals'.

And Louise, 42, looked sad as she wheeled her luggage on her way back to the UK, while still sporting her wedding and engagement rings from her marriage to Jamie, 44.

Casually dressed, the singer and Strictly Come Dancing star wore minimal make-up and looked tired after her flight and no doubt her personal woes.

Taking it's toll? Louise Redknapp looked sad and glum as she left Mallorca, Spain on Thursday following 'split' from husband Jamie ... (but she continues to wear her wedding ring)

Supportive: She teamed a black T-shirt with loose fitting jeans and red Gucci loafers as she wheeled one case and a Louis Vuitton handbag, while talking to a blonde female friend

She teamed a black T-shirt with loose fitting jeans and red Gucci loafers as she wheeled one case and a Louis Vuitton handbag. 

Putting her hand up to her face, the star appeared down as she was surrounded by her two sons with her husband of 19 years, Charley, 12, and Beau, nine, as well as a blonde female friend.

Following reports that Louise had made the split announcement to friends, sources claim Jamie has been open with news of the split after cancelling a day of promotional interviews for League Of Our Own on Monday.

Putting them first: Louise was with her two sons, Charley, 12, and Beau, nine, and no doubt is doing her best to make things as easy as possible for them

Louise reportedly told friends she has split from Jamie after 19 years of marriage just one month after blasting rumours of strife and claims she was living away from her husband.

Insiders told The Sun she had informed her close pals of the split in news coinciding with the star jetting away on her holiday to Mallorca.

The publication report Jamie revealed the news after The House Festival in London last Thursday: 'Jamie was quite openly sharing the news. People were asking how Louise was. He told them the marriage was over.

'He even told acquaintances he wasn’t particularly close to, so it didn’t seem like a big secret. He must be devastated but was putting a brave face on it and seemed to have a good night.'

Pensive: Louise covered her eyes with dark shades and looked deep in tought as she put her arm around her youngest son

A lot to think about: But she appeared to have worry etched on her face as she had a chat with her close friend

Louise took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an image on her style account A Style Album to detail her journey to Mallorca - yet showed nothing of her two boys.

She shared an image in a chic ensemble with a caption reading: 'Mallorca Nights' while another post revealed she was away with the co-author of the style blog, Emma Rose Thatcher.

In a seeming act of defiance, Louise again posted on the account, which boasts 78,600 followers, an image of her and Emma walking into the distance sporting extremely similar dresses.

Checking her phone, the beauty looked rather down again, although it is not clear what she was looking at 

In June, Louise lashed out at increasingly widespread claims that their marriage was in peril after it was alleged that she was living at her mother's house.

Defying the allegations, she said: 'It was surreal. Me and Jamie had just been out for dinner at Zuma, and were in bed together when we saw on Sky that our marriage was in trouble. We’re great - don’t worry about us, everything’s fine.' 

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Louise and Jamie for comment.

Louise and Jamie, who represented his country 17 times, married in a romantic ceremony in Bermuda in 1998 within a week of being engaged.

Jamie proposed with an emerald cut ring with a prong settingin platinum. The duo went on to have their two sons and set up home in Surrey before reports of strife hit. 

Last month Louise once again denied her marriage to Jamie was in turmoil, following claims that the couple have been spending an extended period of time apart.

A spokesperson slammed those claims and told MailOnline: ‘Louise has been spotted leaving her mum’s house. She has always been close to her mum and has always stayed with her regularly.’

When Louise scooped her highly-praised position on Strictly Come Dancing in December 2016, reports of trouble shook the romance amid claims they had been hit with the 'Strictly Curse' - the fabled woe of contestants' relationships deteriorating during their stint on the programme.

Jamie's League Of Their Own co-star Jack Whitehall jokingly alleged at the time that the footballer video-called his wife every hour for fear of being hit by the 'curse'.

He said on The Jonathan Ross show: 'I have to go down (to the show), I have to support Louise because I've basically been winding Jamie up for the last month about 'the Strictly Curse'.

'I was just winding Jamie up, he was Facetiming her every hour. He nearly punched me. Louise is a brilliant dancer and I want her to win, I'm Team Louise.'

And Jamie's own father, Harry Redknapp had referred to the curse while on A League Of Their Own, back in October, while his son was on the show.

Louise later told The Mirror: 'I watched it this week and I could see Jamie getting angrier and angrier with the jokes… It was so funny!

'He came home that night after filming and told me all about it and we couldn’t stop laughing. Jamie and Jack are really good friends in real life so he gives him so much stick – because that’s what their banter is really like.'

Talking to Hello! magazine, that same month, Louise revealed that it will take more than Strictly to pull the pair apart - and that her caring hubby was actually sick with nerves when he watches her on the ballroom floor.

She said: 'After so many years, it'll take more than Strictly and a sparkly leotard to cause problems! When he came to watch filming he said he felt sick. He couldn't contain his nerves

'When Strictly came along I thought I'm going to be a little bit selfish and take this for me and I'll look forward to getting back home and being with the boys but I'm making the most of it while it's there.'
