Billi Mucklow<\/a> is moving on with her life after reports that her former husband Andy Carroll is set to propose to girlfriend Lou Teasdale<\/a> just months after their split.<\/p>\n

The former England striker, who’s currently playing in France for fourth-tier team Bordeaux, confirmed his split from Towie star Billi last September<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Andy, 36, got engaged to Billi in 2014 while he played for London<\/a> side West Ham<\/a> United, with Billi giving birth to three children between 2015 and 2022.<\/p>\n

After nearly 10 years together<\/a>, Andy and Billi tied the knot in 2022 but announced their split around two years later, with the two calling it quits in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has now been claimed that Andy has been telling friends that his divorce from Billi \u2018can\u2019t come quick enough\u2019 as he hopes to propose to former One Direction hairstylist Lou, 42, any day now.<\/p>\n

However, Billi, 36, is keen to move on, and seemingly isn\u2019t letting Andy\u2019s future marriage plans phase her.<\/p>\n

A source told Metro<\/strong>: \u2018Billi isn\u2019t surprised that Andy is rushing down the aisle again. Her marriage to him didn\u2019t last very long and he moved on so quickly with Lou that nothing he does is surprising to her anymore.<\/p>\n

\u2018Her main focus will always be the children and moving on with her own life.\u2019<\/p>\n

Andy and Lou have started a new life for themselves in south-west France, as Andy’s playing career winds down after almost 20 years in football.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun<\/a>, an apparent close friend of the pair said: ‘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. <\/p>\n

The source continued: ‘Andy has never been happier. 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.’<\/p>\n

In July last year, it was revealed that Andy and Billi’s marriage had come to an end after just two years, but the two are apparently yet to finalise their divorce.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Andy’s prospective divorce from Billie, his close friend also told The Sun: ‘He’s been telling friends his divorce can\u2019t come quick enough.’<\/p>\n

In a chat with The Independent<\/a>, the former Liverpool striker admitted that, while it apparently costs him money to play in France, he prefers his life out there.<\/p>\n

‘In France, I live a much easier, simpler life. People recognise me in the street, but they respect me. That\u2019s key to my happiness,’ he told the publication.<\/p>\n

He continued: ‘I can go back to being Andy, the boy from the north of England. Not the Premier League star I was, if I ever was.<\/p>\n

‘It would be unfair to say that popularity has taken more from me than it has given me, but sometimes it\u2019s hard to manage those situations. Fame has its dark sides.’<\/p>\n

Andy, who has two other children from a relationship he had previous to Billi, then revealed that he wanted to continue to play football until his 40s, despite his rent costing more than his monthly salary at Bordeaux.<\/p>\n

Born in Gateshead in the northeast, Andy joined Newcastle United’s academy in the 2000s and made his first team debut for the Magpies in 2006.<\/p>\n

His profile rose during his five years at the club, and he was soon snapped up by Liverpool for \u00a335 million\u2014at the time, he was the most expensive English footballer of all time.<\/p>\n

Andy’s fortunes at Liverpool were mixed, however, and he joined West Ham just 18 months after signing a huge contract on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

He fared much better at West Ham, eventually playing over 140 games for them, before a succession of short contracts at West Bromwich Albion and Reading brought his career in England to an end.<\/p>\n

After playing for French side Amiens for two years, he dropped down two levels to sign for Bordeaux – a successful French side whose financial issues after the Covid pandemic saw them relegated three divisions.<\/p>\n

Metro has contacted representatives for Billi, Andy, and Lou for comment.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
