Louise Redknapp is making the most of her time with son Charley before he heads back to the United States for university.
The singer, 48, is mum to Charley, 19, and 14-year-old Beau, from her marriage to ex-husband Jamie Redknapp.
Last year, her eldest son moved to the US for college, with Louise admitting to Metro.co.uk she was ‘crying 10 times a day’ as she prepared to say goodbye.
But with school finished for summer, the mum and son were reunited, with the trio enjoying a family holiday to the sun.
Taking to Instagram, Louise said she had ‘the best summer holiday with my boys,’ alongside a snap of the family – with the teenagers now towering over their mother.
The sweet snap saw the mum-of-two pose with her sons on a golden beach in the evening with the sun beginning to set, surrounded by palm trees and sun loungers.

Dressed in a skirt and crop top, Louise showed off her impressive physique, while Charley and Beau dressed in button-down shirts, Charley in pink and Beau opting for white.
The end of the summer holidays is sure to feel bittersweet, with Charley set to return to America to continue his studies – and while Louise is, naturally, proud of her son, it’s also hard to say goobye.
Last year she admitted she was crying constantly over the thoughts of her son leavie not just the nest but the country, saying: ‘I keep crying. I cry like 10 times a day at the moment, like if someone’s nice to me I start crying like, “Sorry it’s just my son’s going to university.”‘
‘Everyone who’s had kids go off to university say it’s normal. I’m super proud of him but, God, I’m gonna miss him.’

Like his football star father, Charley is pursuing a sporting career in his new home in Arizona, and was accompanied to college by the Liverpool legend, who said he was ‘so proud’ of his son.
He wrote on Instagram at the time: ‘We’re so proud of you and we’ll be with you every run and step of the way. Enjoy and soak in all the incredible facilities at your disposal.
‘Can’t wait to be back to see you again soon. We love you mate.’
Louise and Jamie split in 2017 after 19 years of marriage, with Jamie going on to marry model Frida Andersson.
The couple welcomed baby Raphael, a half-brother to Charley and Beau, in 2021.
