Andy Carroll is pictured on a date with makeup artist Lou Teasdale as the pair are seen for the first time after ‘growing close’ following his shock split from wife Billi Mucklow

Andy Carroll was seen on a date with makeup artist Lou Teasdale in Spitalfields for the first time on Thursday following his split from wife Billi Mucklow.

The Premiere League player, 35, announced last week that he and TOWIE star, 36, who tied the knot in June 2022, are set to divorce after secretly separating earlier this year following two years of turbulent marriage.

And soon after he revealed their split, MailOnline revealed that the former England star has ‘grown close’ Lou and have been spending time together in recent weeks. 

Andy and Lou enjoyed an intimate lunch together in London just a day after his separation was announced.
