Furthermore, Jamie and Frida also have a four-year-old son together called Raphael. The pair met through friends and from there, their relationship blossomed into something stronger.‌In a new interview with Closer, Frida has talked about the biggest lesson she’s learnt from being part of a blended family with her former England football player-turned-pundit husband.She told the publication that family meals and "spending quality time together" have helped to keep the family close through this transition period.‌Frida, 43, said: “I’m often asked about blending families and what I’ve learned along the way. The biggest lesson is patience. When new people come into a family, everyone needs time to adjust.“We’ve been incredibly lucky, and one of the biggest blessings has been our youngest son, Raphael. In so many ways, he’s the glue that holds everyone together. All the siblings adore him and everyone wants to come home and spend time with him. He brings everyone into the same room without even realising it.”As well as patience and Raphael, who was born in 2021, Frida added: “Family meals have helped too. Sitting down together, chatting about our days and spending quality time together has really brought us closer as a family.‌“Those moments of connection matter….Looking back, the key has been giving everyone the time and space to find their place.”Frida hasn’t been alone in talking about her blended family experience with Jamie, as he spoke to The Times earlier this year about some of the complications and struggles they’ve experienced at times.Article continues belowHe told the publication: "Of course, there are going to be moments when it's a little bit... you know... something gets said, but that's absolutely natural and they all get on well. You have to give a lot of leeway for that and make sure that you're understanding other people's feelings."Jamie went onto explain the same interview at the time that, after welcoming Raphael, there were no further plans to expand the family further.He said: “We won't have any more children now. We had Rapha because we wanted to have our own little man - or girl, I wouldn't have minded either way - and that's been absolutely beautiful."
