Jamie and his new wife Frida Andersson welcomed Raphael last month, just five weeks after they tied the knot.
Posting an adorable snap of him and the baby on Instagram at the time, Jamie wrote: "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."
A source revealed the special meaning behind Raphael's name, telling The Sun: "Jamie and Frida wanted to give him a Swedish name too, and Frida loved her late grandfather Anders so they named him after him."
Model Frida and Jamie's blended family also includes her children - three sons and a daughter - from her marriage to Jonathan Lourie.
Jamie's ex-wife Louise, 47, was recently forced to hit back at reports she is "in despair" over his and Frida's new arrival.
Sharing a snap of a magazine report on Instagram, she wrote: "I'd really love to clarify that 'Louise' is not in despair or anything like it!!
"I have my two gorgeous boys that I adore more than anything in the world, the best family around me and I'm having the best time of my life in my career and with the most wonderful friends that a girl could hope for."
