Last night the 48-year-old star couldn’t resist taking a photo of a precious moment at home with his youngest, whose full name is Raphael Anders.

Jamie watched Sky series Succession and joked the little tot was bored by the tense drama.

He wrote over his photo: “Watching Succession with Lil man. He thinks sleeping is better.”

The Celeb Report previously revealed how the name Raphael Anders was actually a tribute to his wife Frida Andersson‘s family.

Frida’s family are from Sweden, where she was born.

And a source told The Celeb Report it was important that their son had a Swedish connection.

A source told The Celeb Report: “Jamie and Frida wanted to give him a Swedish name too, and Frida loved her late grandfather Anders so they named him after him.”

Sharing an adorable photo of him cosied up to his sleeping newborn, Jamie said: “Meet Raphael Anders Redknapp.

“We’re so In love, mum is doing so well too.

“We can’t thank the amazing doctors and nurses at the Chelsea and Westminster enough.

“So excited for him to meet my boys.”

In a sweet message to fans online, Frida also revealed the newborn’s sweet nickname.

She wrote: “Our Viking has arrived. Feeling beyond blessed to have welcomed this precious little boy, Raphael Anders Redknapp, to our family.

“A big thank you to all the wonderful doctors and nurses at Chelsea Westminister Hospital.”

Newlywed couple Jamie and Frida, 38, got married in front of friends and family last month.

Jamie is already a dad to sons Beau, 13, and Charlie, 17, with his ex-wife Louise Redknapp.

Meanwhile Frida has three sons and a daughter from her former union with American hedge fund manager Jonathan Lourie.

Frida was Jamie’s first serious relationship since splitting from pop star Louise, 46, in 2017, with their divorce finalised two years later.

The former golden couple separated after 19 years of marriage after the singer took part in Strictly Come Dancing.

Frida was born in Sweden but has lived in London since her modelling career took off, and has posed for brands such as Escada.

She wed Jamie in front of 30 close family and friends at a discreet ceremony on October 18 at Chelsea Old Town Hall, west London.

The ceremony marks the second wedding for both Jamie and Frida – who was heavily pregnant at the time.

Jamie’s ex Louise revealed in her autobiography she regrets not putting more effort into trying to save her marriage.

She wrote: “I wish I’d tried. I want to say to anyone thinking of running: Just slow down. Don’t run. Because once you run too fast, you can’t make up the ground you’ve lost.

“Stop, say what you think, don’t be afraid to say what’s really going on. You don’t have to be quiet.”
