Loose Women star and singer Brenda Edwards has confirmed she is in a new relationship, celebrating her one-year anniversary with her mystery boyfriend.¹ The news comes after the loss of her son, Jamal Edwards, in 2022, making the public announcement particularly emotional for the star and her colleagues.²

💖 The Anniversary Announcement

Brenda, who is known for keeping her private life guarded, shared the news via a heartfelt post on her Instagram on November 19, 2025:³

• The Post: She shared a photo of her holding hands with her new partner, though she did not reveal his face or name, opting for what co-star Denise Welch dubbed a "SOFT LAUNCH!"⁴

• The Message: In the caption, she expressed deep affection and security, writing that her partner walked into her life with "laughter in your beautiful eyes and so much unconditional love in your heart."⁵ She added, "Your humor makes the ordinary magical, your love makes the difficult easy, and your steady spirit makes me feel safe enough to dream bigger than I already do."⁶

🤫 Relationship Teases

The relationship had been hinted at earlier in the year during a segment on Loose Women, where Brenda admitted to going on a holiday "with somebody" (OK!⁸ Magazine).

• Opposites Attract: At the time, she teased: "I will say you know I think that it is quite nice.⁹ Opposites do attract. I do believe that."

• Slow and Steady: When her co-stars joked about the "honeymoon period," Brenda responded, "Slow and steady wins the race, young lady," indicating a cautious and measured approach to the new romance.¹⁰

🕊️ Honoring Son Jamal Edwards

The news is especially poignant given the tragic death of her son, music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards MBE, who passed away in February 2022 at the age of 31.¹¹

• Cause of Death: An inquest in August 2022 confirmed that Jamal died of a cardiac arrhythmia caused by recreational drugs (cocaine use).¹²

• Brenda's Campaign: Following his death, Brenda has actively raised awareness, establishing the Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust to focus on the mental wellbeing of young people and drive conversation about the unpredictability of recreational drugs, stating, "it takes just one bad reaction to destroy lives."¹³ (The Guardian)

Brenda, who is also a proud mother to her daughter, Tanisha, continues to balance her demanding career on Loose Women and in musical theatre with her family life and newfound happiness.
