Footballer Andy Carroll is said to have split from his girlfriend Lou Teasdale just weeks after their public row on holiday as her social media behaviour gets the blame
Andy Carroll has reportedly dumped his girlfriend Lou Teasdale after a series of public rows. The former England footballer, 36, was said to be working on the romance following a series of alcohol-fuelled arguments that led to police involvement.
He started dating Lou, 41, last year following his quiet split from ex-wife Billi Mucklow. In June, their relationship hit turbulence while on holiday in Greece.
Andy was reportedly questioned twice by police, once at a busy restaurant and again at a boutique hotel, over disputes with Lou. A staff member at the restaurant exclusively told The Mirror at the time: “We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately.
“He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.”
Despite trying to work through their issues, it seems the pair have decided it is now best for them to go their separate ways. The couple no longer appear to follow each other on social media.
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.”
The couple had issued a joint statement downplaying the events earlier this year. They said: “Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion.
“It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to ‘look after’ us.
“As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested, and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together.”
Andy reportedly vowed to change following the incident and stayed sober at Glastonbury to prove himself. The couple were later seen at the festival looking close and relaxed.
In exclusive pictures taken by The Mirror, the pair seemed happier than ever as they strolled around Worthy Farm one year after meeting there for the first time.
An insider told The Sun: “After everything that’s gone on lately, Andy wanted to make sure their first anniversary was special. Lou’s totally teetotal so he thought it would be nice for them to spend the weekend together sober. Andy adores Lou and would do anything for her.”
They added: “He knows she deserves better and wants to put any bad behaviour in the past to bed. Andy is convinced Lou is the one for him and is determined to get his act together and propose.”
The Mirror has contacted Lou and Andy’s representatives for comment.
