Louise Redknapp on becoming ‘Jamie Redknapp’s wife'
The 42-year-old Strictly Come Dancing star was rumoured to be fighting to save her relationship with the ex-footballer, 43.
The Sun claimed that they were "determined" not to let their 18-year marriage fall foul of the 'Strictly Curse', which has seen many celebrity contestants split from their partners during or after their appearance on the BBC dance show.
However, a spokesperson for the couple denied the reports, saying: "Rumours of separation are completely untrue. Louise and Jame are looking forward to a nice weekend celebrating."
The pair were spotted leaving a restaurant last night where they had been celebrating his mother's 70th birthday.
The mother-of-two beamed as she was pictured with her husband outside Zuma in London, wearing a figure-hugging pair of blue denim jeans and a chic grey blazer which she paired with killer black ankle boots with a sexy red heel and a black leather handbag.
Jamie opted for smart casual as well, with a soft grey suit and white trainers.

Louise, who came runner-up to Ore Oduba on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, previously gushed about her supportive husband during her time on the show, saying: "I thought it was going to be so not up his street. I can't get rid of him! He comes every Saturday, he's in the front row. He's in the training room and I wasn't expecting that."
Previous contestants who have become victims of the so-called 'Strictly Curse' include Countdown's Rachel Riley, who was married to her childhood sweetheart Jamie Gilbert before meeting beau Pasha Kovalev on the show, and rugby star Ben Cohen, who split with his wife Abby Blayney before starting a relationship with his professional dance partner Kristina Rihanoff.
Kristina and Ben blasted claims that their relationship was under strain earlier this week when rumours emerged that she was in talks with Dancing With The Stars and planning a move to the US.
