Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur captain Jamie Redknapp presented his little son Raphael to Dutch football legend and family friend, Ruud Gullit. The Sky Sports pundit posted a photo of the delightful meeting on his Instagram story for his 1.4million followers.
Baby Raphael Meets Ruud Gullit
In the day-old post, four-months-old Raphael could be pictured sitting on Ruud’s lap wearing a gorgeous white baby grow and his hair fluffed up into a Mohican. Beside the adorable pictured, Jamie teased, “Hoping some [football] magic rubs off from the great man @ruudgullit.”

Ruud was a famous soccer star in the 1980s and 1990s. He won the Ballon d’Or in 1987 and was awarded the World Soccer Player of the Year in 1987 and 1989 respectively. He was the Dutch men’s national team captain when they won the UEFA Euro Cup in 1988 and was also named on FIFA’s top 100 greatest living footballers in 2004.
A few weeks ago, Jamie joked about claims little Raphael resembles his father, Harry Redknapp’s twin after a clip emerged of Harry holding his grandson at Rick Stein’s restaurant in Sandbanks, Dorset. The sports columnist captioned the clip, “What do you mean everyone says we look like twins?! I look nothing like you Pop.”
Jamie and Frida tied the know in a private wedding ceremony in October after courting since the start of 2019. The Swedish model provided fans with a glimpse of the wedding via several unseen photos on social media. The monochrome pictures displayed the couples posing for the camera after just exchanging their vows.
One of the photos captured Frida addressing the guests and leaving them in frenzies and another one captured the newlyweds sharing a warm hug as the guests clapped. Raphael is Jamie’s third child and his first with his new wife Frida after Jamie ended his marriage of ten decades of marriage with his ex-wife, Louise, in 2017. Frida is already a mother of four from her erstwhile marriage to Jonathan Lourie.
