Andy Carroll has revealed he is back with girlfriend Lou Teasdale, following a brief split earlier this week.
The couple split this this week after a series of rows, with initial reports claiming the footballer, 36, dumped the make-up artist, 41, after becoming fed up with her high maintenance behaviour.
However, Daily Mail exclusively revealed on Wednesday it was in fact Lou who called off the relationship.
Andy has now vowed to cut down on alcohol in a bid to save their relationship after boozy rows as he confirmed the pair are trying 'to work through their difficulties'.
He told The Sun on Sunday: 'I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple.'
Referring to his divorce from wife Billi Mucklow, who he shares three children with, Andy added: 'Things have been difficult for me and I'm going through a divorce.
'Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it's not a problem in my life.
'We're better off together and we're trying to work through our difficulties.'
The pair, who were together for just over a year, unfollowed each other on social media and Andy wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram.
They now follow each other on Instagram and have added their loved-up snaps back to their pages.
On Wednesday, a source told the Daily Mail: 'It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance.
'She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together.
'Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through.
'However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she's staying.
'He will think it's a romantic gesture but for Lou, she's unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she's not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation now.
'All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.'
The father-of-five returned to the UK with Dagenham & Redbridge last month after a two-year spell in France.
The couple's last public outing was at an Oasis gig at the end of July, where they packed on the PDA, proving they were still together.
The date night came after the ex footballer was interrogated about the arguments with his make-up artist lover in a restaurant and at their hotel on the Greek party island, The Sun on Sunday reports.
Speaking about the first incident, a worker at the Nikolus Tavern told the newspaper: 'He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner.
'He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.'
According to the restaurant worker, police arrived and took the ex-Liverpool, Newcastle United and England striker aside for a chat, before he was later allowed back to girlfriend Lou.
'Police spoke to him. He was allowed to return, and the couple left after paying for their meal. Andy was very calm when the police arrived — he stood up and spoke to them outside the restaurant', the restaurant worker added.
Just hours later, cops were called again by hotel staff following reports of damage in their room.
Daily Mail understands that the former England forward - once Britain's most expensive Premier League footballer when bought by Liverpool from Newcastle for £35million - was taken to the police station for questioning, but he was not arrested and no further action was taken.
The incident was confirmed by a hotel employee, who claimed Andy broke the door. That night, Lou left the hotel and spent the night at Soho Roc House.
A joint statement from the couple given to The Sun said: 'Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there.
'We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to 'look after' us.
'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.'
The pair began dating last year after he separated from his TOWIE star wife Billi Mucklow last September.
Andy and Billi called it quits divorce after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year.
In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Andy was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do.
Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened.
Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple's marriage was over - with Andy confirming they had started divorce proceedings after 'a hard few months for our family'.
Andy said in a statement at the time: 'Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings'.
'It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.'
The former couple have three children together Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship.
