Lou Teasdale and Andy Carroll put on loved-up display amid 'engagement' rumours
Footballer Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale are currently enjoying a sun-soaked getaway to Ibiza - and they look more loved-up than ever in their latest snap
Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale appeared utterly loved-up in a recent photo from their Ibiza holiday. The 36 year old footballer and the 41 year old makeup artist demonstrated their strong bond as they held hands by the beach.
Lou caught attention in a small halter-neck bikini with a distinctive brown and blue fossil print, showcasing her stunning figure. Andy, on the other hand, looked fashionable in bold leopard-print swimming shorts and a beige abstract shirt.
This comes amidst speculation that Andy is planning to propose to former One Direction hair stylist Lou once his divorce from ex-The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow is finalised.
The former Liverpool striker and his TOWIE star ex, Billi, announced their split last September after quietly separating earlier in the year, ending an 11-year relationship. Andy and Billi share three children - Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae - and she also looks after his two children, Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, from a previous relationship.
In 2022, Andy's wedding to Billi was nearly cancelled when he was photographed drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai during his stag do. Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted that nothing sexual happened.
The reality star only forgave the footballer after Taylor Jane Wilkey, who was one of the women in the bed, insisted that nothing had happened and that Andy had acted very gentlemanly towards them. She apologised for the photos and insisted the two never had sex.
Less than two years after saying 'I do', Andy and his wife have called it quits, with Andy confirming the couple are in the midst of divorce proceedings following 'a hard few months for our family'. In a candid statement, Andy revealed: "Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are underway with our divorce proceedings."
Despite whispers that Billi was caught off guard by the split, her mates have spoken out and claimed she had an inkling Andy was seeing someone else, though she couldn't put a name to the face. Not long after, Andy stepped out with new flame Lou, making their romance public at a Halloween bash dressed as pop icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce.
Andy made things Instagram official with Lou, posting a loved-up photo captioned: "Happy people happy places."
This followed Lou's own festive photo dump, featuring the pair enjoying the Christmas season, including a romantic snap from Winter Wonderland. Andy didn't hold back on throwing shade at Billi as he opened up about his fresh start with Lou.
In a heartfelt interview with The Times, Andy couldn't help but sing Lou's praises: "I've seen a different world since I've been with Lou, This Christmas, like she does every Christmas, she will go with her daughter to look after the isolated elderly. She's a volunteer for Choose Love and a campaigner for LGBTQ+. She says to me, 'Why would you hate anyone?' That's someone I need in my life."
A source told The Sun: "Andy is very close to proposing to Lou - they are madly in love. She is spending as much time as she can with him in France and Andy has never been happier. He's been telling friends his divorce can't come quick enough. Lou is exactly what he needs because she is a calming influence on him and it's noticeable the change she's had on him to everyone around them.'
