Watch as Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale are spotted kissing for the first time on romantic holiday
ANDY Carroll and new girlfriend Lou Teasdale have been seen smooching for the first time, and looking very close on their Mallorca trip together.
The smitten pair cuddled up on a lounger at the Balneario Beach Club in Mallorca after footballer Andy, 35, whisked Lou away to celebrate her 41st birthday.
The sunbathing couple could be seen embracing and being affectionate as they snuggled up on a sun bed together and enjoyed some quality time.
Andy and Lou are holidaying at the Hotel Corazon, which opened last year, and attracts an uber-boujis crowd.
Andy and Lou chatted away before he swiftly wrapped his arms around his new girlfriend before leaning in to kiss her neck.
In another photo, Andy could be seen placing his hand on Lou’s neck while gazing up at her, as she lounged in a black bikini at the swanky hotel.
The celebrity hair and makeup artist looked tanned and toned in her swimwear.
They shared smouldering eye contact as they sunbathed and cosied up.
As the late summer sun beat down, the couple couldn’t stop smiling, clearly enjoying each other’s company.
In other holiday snaps, Andy and Lou were spotted grabbing ice cream before heading to the sea to cool off while enjoying a beach trip and frolicking in the water.
Andy led his girlfriend back onto the beach by the hand, where they spent the remainder of the afternoon before heading back to their hotel.
Lou looked sensational in a pastel pink bikini, while Andy donned dark shades and swim shorts.
It comes after the Sun on Sunday revealed how Andy – who is currently playing for fourth division club Girondins de Bordeaux – in France, had split from reality star wife Billi Mucklow after 11 years together.
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.”
The couple only tied the knot in 2022, and their nuptials were overshadowed by Andy’s wild partying in Dubai just two weeks before when he was photographed passed out in bed beside a woman on his stag do.
Following the separation, a source told us: “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.”
With the relationship breakdown finally out in the open and rumours swirling about his connection with Lou, Andy decided to bite the bullet and go public with his new partner.
An insider said: “Andy and Lou are really loved-up and want to spend all their free time together.
“Andy is based in France at the moment, with Lou living in London, so he wanted to do something special for her birthday.
“They chose the hotel as it’s supercool and swanky, and nestled in the mountains away from tourists and crowds.”
Mum-of-one Lou, whose daughter Lux is now 13, split from SAS: Who Dares Wins star Jay Morton last year.
Hull girl Lou worked on The X Factor as a hairstylist in the mid-noughties and went on tour with One Direction.
As well as being incredibly close with the boyband, Lou also hired Louis Tomlinson’s sister, Lottie, as an assistant when she was just 15.
They have since created tanning brand Tanologist together.
Lou was famously also best friends with the late Caroline Flack before her death in 2020 and she went on to join her fellow X Factor alum Olly Murs in a charity trek to raise money in Caroline’s memory.
Andy was once a Premier League striker playing for the likes of Newcastle, West Ham and Liverpool.
He earned nine caps for England.
