Andy Carroll seen with Lou Teasdale in first snaps since it was revealed pair had started dating

EX-ENGLAND striker Andy Carroll steps out with celeb hairdresser Lou Teasdale — after it emerged they had started dating following his marriage break-up.

The pair grabbed a coffee and a bite to eat from a Costa in London.

It is the first time they have been seen together in public since it was revealed they have struck up a romance.

Ex-Liverpool and Newcastle United ace Andy, 35, confirmed in a statement to last week’s Sun on Sunday that he had split from wife Billi Mucklow, 36, earlier this year.

It later emerged he has been on a string of dates with Lou, 40, formerly a stylist for pop star Harry Styles and the rest of One Direction.

She is said to have visited Andy in France, where he is currently playing for fourth division side Bordeaux.

He bagged both goals in his side’s 2-1 win away at Olympique Saumur on Saturday.

And he was then pictured 650 miles away from Bordeaux with Lou in London yesterday.

An onlooker said: “They seemed happy together and Andy had a smile on his face.”

Geordie Andy and Towie star Billi — who have three kids — secretly split in July after a turbulent two-year marriage.

She is reported to have felt “blindsided” by him dating Lou so soon after their separation.

Andy, who has two more kids from a previous relationship, was with Billi for 11 years.

However, their wedding in 2022 was nearly called off after a picture emerged of him drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do.

Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened.

The veteran striker, who once earned a rumoured £80,000-a-week, is on less than £3,000 at Bordeaux and says it costs him money to play there.
