Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale make first public appearance as they dress up for Halloween

ANDY Carroll and new girlfriend Lou Teasdale made their first public appearance together last night, as they dressed up for Halloween.

Their outing comes after The Sun exclusively revealed last month how Andy, 35, and ex-wife Billi Mucklow, 36, had secretly split in July.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Andy had moved on with Lou, and last night they ventured out for their first showbiz bash together.

The new celebrity couple looked loved up as they posed for photos outside the Hallozeem bash in London.

Andy was dressed as Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce, but it was unclear who Lou was meant to be - although she could have been trying to emulate the superstar singer.

After the party had ended, they were seen holding hands and heading home together.

The new couple have been inseparable ever since The Sun revealed how they had got together, following his split from wife Billi.

The pair recently jetted off on their first holiday together and couldn't keep their hands off each other as they lounged around in the sun in Mallorca.

Back home, his ex-wife Billi Mucklow appeared to take a cryptic swipe at Andy whilst he was off on vacation with his new girlfriend.

She took to her Instagram story to share a sweet snap with her kids at home.

The former Towie star and the youngsters looked cosy as they posed for a selfie together in their pyjamas.

Billi and Andy share three kids Alro, eight, Wolf, five, and Marvel, three.

Footballer Andy is also dad to Emilie Rose, 14, and Lucas, 13,

Billi captioned the post: "I love you so much."

The exes started dating in 2013 and got engaged the following year.

In a statement, Andy said: "Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are underway with our divorce proceedings.

"It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.

“It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.”

A source said: “Andy and Billi care about each other a lot and have made some great memories together, but decided it was best for the family if they went their separate ways having grown apart.

“They’re still focusing on the kids and being the best parents they can be and being respectful of each other.

"They want the process to be straightforward for everyone involved. Andy has been throwing himself into his football.”

It was reported that Billi felt “blindsided” by him dating Lou so soon after their separation.

A source has now told the Mail: "It was a shock for Billi, given they only split months previously.

"It left her blindsided initially but he’s single now, so he can do what he wants.

"But what she doesn’t want to do is cause any fallouts between herself and Andy for the sake of the kids."

Lou split from ex Jay Morton in January last year.

Billi and Andy were together for 11 years and wed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire in 2022.

However that almost didn’t happen after a photograph from Andy’s stag do in Dubai showed him in bed with two women.

Billi shot to fame on ITVBe's Towie.

She appeared on the show between 2011 and 2013.
