LOU Teasdale and Andy Carroll have had a loved up first Christmas, just two months after their relationship went public.
Footballer Andy Carroll and hair stylist Lou Teasdale looked the picture of loved up bliss as they enjoyed Christmas together.
Lou shared snaps of the happy couple to Instagram, where she told followers: “merry christmas baby”.
In the series of snaps, Lou posed alongside Andy, as well as sharing a video with a puppy.
Andy also shared pictures to his Instagram of his Christmas, but instead shared pictures of him with his children with Lou not featured in his snaps.
The couple made their first public appearance at the Hallozeem bash in London back in October.
The relationship comes after Andy’s shock split from wife Billi, who he began dating in 2014 and got engaged to in the same year.
The former couple tied the knot in June 2022 and have three children together – Arlo, nine, Wolf, six, and Marvel Mae, four.
Andy also has two children, aged 15, and 14, from a previous relationship.
In a statement, dad-of-three Andy said: “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.”
However the split between Billi and Andy has appeared to be less than amicable, with Billi making a dig at her ex on social media a week ago.
The Only Way Is Essex star shared a glam new hairstyle as she teased: “Out with the OLD… In with the NEW!”
Her comment about removing the old from her life comes hot on the heels of Andy appearing to take a swipe at his relationship with her.
Andy recently gushed about his “different world” with Lou, and the changes since leaving his marriage.
Andy, who plays for French side FC Girondins de Bordeaux, gushed of his new romance: “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.”
He added to The Times: “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.”
