Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow have reportedly split after two years together, a relationship marked by controversy. The breakup follows an incident where Carroll was infamously photographed passed out in bed with two blondes during a trip to Dubai. The couple, who got engaged in 2020, have faced various challenges in their relationship, and sources indicate that they have decided to part ways amicably.
Premier League player Andy Carroll, 35, and TOWIE star Billi Mucklow, 36, were married in June 2022 in a lavish ceremony in Hampshire. Their wedding followed a tumultuous period, notably after Carroll was photographed passed out in bed between two blondes during his wild Dubai stag do. The couple’s relationship has been marked by ups and downs since then, culminating in their recent split.
Andy Carroll, who shares three children with Billi Mucklow, confirmed their split in a statement, saying, “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.”
A source told The Sun, “Andy and Billi care about each other a lot and have made some great memories together, but they decided it was best for the family if they went their separate ways, having grown apart.”
The source added, “They’re still focusing on the kids and being the best parents they can be while being respectful of each other.” This reflects their commitment to co-parenting despite their separation.
The source also noted, “They want the process to be straightforward for everyone involved. Andy has been throwing himself into his football.”
Newsafro.com has reached out to representatives for both Billi and Andy for comment.
Before their wedding, Andy faced embarrassment when The Sun published a photo of him lying in bed with 29-year-old bar manager Taylor Jane Wilkey, who lives in Dubai. Further images revealed that he was also asleep on the same bed with Taylor’s friend, 28-year-old Phoebe Robb, following a 17-hour drinking session. The photographs showed Andy passed out, with Taylor wearing his personalized bathrobe emblazoned with “Andy Carroll.”
Billi reportedly fled the couple’s home following Andy’s antics and took refuge at her parents’ house, removing her £200,000 engagement ring in the lead-up to their wedding. At the time, the publication reported that the reality star was demanding Andy “hand over everything” related to the pictures before their big day.
