Redknapp had a quick divorce from his singer wife, with whom he has two sons Charley, 13 and Beau, nine, last year after a 19-year marriage which took just 20 seconds. Now, the former Liverpool star is spending time with the mum-of-one - Romy Nicole, five, and has more than 300,000 Instagram followers. Roitfeld is also an art director and founder of maternity website Romy and the Bunnies.

According to the British tabloid, Redknapp has been meeting her in West London as she splits her time between UK and New York. "Jamie is a sucker for posh girls these days. He's been texting Julia, asking her for dates whenever she is back in London," a source told the tabloid.
