Billi Mucklow Dismisses Andy Carroll’s Split Drama While Enjoying Holiday in Spain with Kids

Billi Mucklow has shared a glimpse of her quiet holiday in Spain with her and ex Andy Carroll’s kids amid the footballer’s split from girlfriend Lou Teasdale.

Former Towie star Billi, 37, split from Andy, 36, last year and he quickly moved on from her with Lou, 41 – but now it has been claimed they have sensationally broken up.

The pair, who were together for just over a year, have now unfollowed each other on social media and Andy has wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram.

And amid the bitter break-up, with both parties claiming to have dumped the other,  Billi proved her ex-husband was far from her mind as she soaked up the Spanish sunshine with their five children. 

Billi and Andy 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. 

The children looked happier than ever as they beamed for a snap shared to Billi’s Instagram on Thursday, of which she captioned: ‘I love you kids! ❤️’ 

The former reality star also shared some cute snaps of her ‘Beautiful Girls’ Emilie Rose and Marvel Mae cuddling up together for the camera.

The siblings shared a sweet kiss as they spent quality time together on holiday.

Not missing out her boys, Billi then took to her stories to document her ‘expensive day out’ with her sons as they enjoyed a spot of shopping.

The youngsters looked chuffed as they posed outside a Barcelona Football Club store while holding aloft their brand new football kits.

Billi also uploaded a photo of her enjoying an ice-cream with stepson Lucas, with the teen clad in a Newcastle United shirt in a nod to his father’s time as a striker for the club. 

While another pic showed little Marvel on the shoulders of big brother Lucas while posing in a busy town square.  

It comes as Andy reportedly ‘hated’ girlfriend Lou’s ‘influencer lifestyle’ and grew sick of her constantly posting loved-up pictures of their relationship on social media, it emerged in light of their split.

Reports initially claimed the footballer dumped the make-up artist 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.

The makeup artist regularly shared intimate snaps of the pair kissing and holding hands on holiday and date nights.

More often than not, Andy would repost the same PDA pictures on his social media or share his own versions.

Andy has allegedly always secretly hated Lou plastering their love life on Instagram, raising questions whether Lou’s recent loved-up Ibiza picture dump in May could have been the last straw.

A source told The Sun: ‘Andy got sick of Lou’s demands and her influencer lifestyle.

‘She’s always posting on social media and he hates that. He told her it was over this week. He’s single now.

‘It’s been a tough time and now he’s back in the UK, he just wants to focus on football and his kids. He hates the influencer lifestyle. He has no interest in posing for loved-up pics.’

Daily Mail approached Andy and Lou’s representatives for comment at the time. 

Hitting back at these claims, furious friends of the influencer told Daily Mail that Andy was so desperate to save the relationship that he chartered a private jet to race to Ibiza yesterday in a last-ditch attempt to win her round.

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 pair, who were together for just over a year, have now unfollowed each other on social media and Andy has wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram. 

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.

Meanwhile, Andy and Billi called it quits after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year.

In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Carroll was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do.

Mucklow 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 Carroll confirming they had started divorce proceedings after ‘a hard few months for our family’.

Carroll 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.’
