After splitting from Andy Carroll, former TOWIE star Billi Mucklow is “focusing on her kids” as they enjoyed a positive trip to the British seaside together.
Former TOWIE star Billi Mucklow spent a wholesome weekend with her kids at the great British seaside – while her ex-husband footballer Andy Carroll was seen on social media enjoying a sun-drenched break in Magaluf with his girlfriend of seven months, Lou Teasdale, reports OK!.
Billi, 36, who has three children with Andy, also 36, posted a handful of snaps to Instagram that showed her surrounded by children, all enjoying some seaside fun. In contrast, Instagram posts showed Andy looking loved-up on a Mediterranean break with make-up artist and hair stylist Lou, with photos including sunlit selfies and gorgeous sea views.

Now, a source has claimed to new that Billi’s focus is firmly on her children. “Billi has been focusing on being a good mum and putting on a brave face for herself and for her kids since splitting from Andy but, naturally, it’s not been easy,” said the source.
“It’s not easy for her to see Andy holidaying with his new girlfriend abroad, while she’s trying to move on from the heartbreak. But Billi is a really tough girl and she’s got thick skin – she’s not someone to let Andy’s new relationship get her down. She’s putting on a brave face and having wonderful times with her little ones. She also knows that Andy is a great dad to their kids, but he’s clearly loved-up and caught up in a new romance and it’s very hard for her to see.”
Their followers were not perplexed by the opposing tones of their respective weekends. Billi’s Instagram account had a large following of fans who shared encouraging messages like, “Lucky to have you for their mum.” Another once remarked, “You and your kids always look amazing together mummy.” You truly understand the value of family, a third person said. Sometimes challenging circumstances lead to beautiful locations.
Anyone who witnessed the end of a relationship, especially one that originated in the public eye, would find it difficult to navigate. According to a source, Billi was feeling “heartbroken” and having a “tough time” when the couple announced their divorce plans.
But she has kept her family in mind and kept a quiet dignity throughout. Before getting married in 2022, Billi and Andy, who got married in 2013, were already together for a while. They have four daughters, four-year-old Marvel and sons Arlo and Wolf, who are both seven. Emilie Rose and Lucas, their first two children, are also theirs.
Andy hit the headlines on his stag do in Dubai when he was pictured with two women on his bed as he lay passed out. One of the women later described how she had partied back at the hotel with Andy and his friends, not knowing it was his stag do, but described it as “entirely innocent fun”.
The wedding took place in June 2022 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire. Guests included Billi’s brother, reality TV star Sam Mucklow and her bridesmaids included sister Giorgie Dark, her stepdaughter Emilie Rose and former TOWIE regular Shelby Tribble. Over time, rumours of ongoing trust issues and growing distance between them began to circulate and Billi and Andy announced they were divorcing in September last year.
Billi, known for her role on TOWIE from 2011 to 2013 and again in 2018, has kept a relatively low profile in recent months and her social media posts focus on parenting and her life away from the spotlight. It is centred on her children and family life, offering glimpses into birthdays, holidays with her kids and other everyday moments.
Andy, who is currently a striker for Bordeaux, has recently appeared more prominently on his social media accounts. This is the first time he has publicly shared his new relationship.
Although Billi hasn’t made any public comments about her ex’s new relationship, her own social media posts suggest that she wants to keep things positive and stable while making the transition to being a single mother.
