Insiders say Lou feels like ‘he’s had enough chances’ while Andy is ‘struggling to accept it’s over’
THEY were looking forward to a summer of love, but we can reveal that on/off couple Andy Caroll and Lou Teasdale have split AGAIN.
And this time it could be for good – we’re told the footballer, 37, left furious Lou, 42, struggling to forgive him after breaking a promise he had made to her and a showdown in Ibiza.
The pair have wiped their respective social media profiles clean of any loved-up pictures and are thought to have blocked one another.
Our insider explained: “Things came to a head between Andy and Lou after he flew to Ibiza without her – and broke his sobriety.
“He was partying and having fun, which is fine but she just didn’t expect him to be drinking.
“Andy had promised he wouldn’t touch booze to try and save their relationship, so this feels very disrespectful.
“Lou flew out to Ibiza with some friends but couldn’t talk any sense into him.
“He is struggling with the fact it’s over, but she feels like he’s had enough chances now.”
The pair had just returned from a week in Majorca, enjoying the trip completely sober, which insiders say added insult to injury for Lou.
Seemingly licking his wounds, former Newcastle United footballer Andy was spotted on a night out in Essex on Saturday night.
Lou meanwhile has removed all her pictures of Andy but shared a rather pointed post about how she enjoyed Ibiza while sober.
Andy and Lou began dating in the summer of 2024 – following his split from wife Billi Mucklow – and have had a rocky relationship since.
In June last year, we reported Andy was twice quizzed by police over bust-ups with Lou during a break on Greek party island Mykonos.
At the time, Andy was accused of being “very drunk” as onlookers claimed he shouted he was “done” with Lou.
However, Lou stood by him as the couple brushed off the controversy.
They claimed the situation was “blown out of proportion” in a joint statement, which read: “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.”
They added: “We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together, and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.”
The couple split again in August of last year and at the time, Andy opened up about his ongoing booze issues.
In August, Andy said he was fighting to save the relationship – and confirmed they had been rowing about his drinking.
He said at the time: “Things have been difficult for me and I’m going through a divorce.
“Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it’s not a problem in my life.
“I’m a professional footballer and that’s not the case. I play sport every single day so my level of fitness is really good. I play football every day so I’m fit.”

Lou garnered fame for famously being the hairdresser and make-up artist to One Direction and now has 5.4 million Instagram followers.
Andy married Towie star Billi Mucklow in 2022 but two years later, it was announced the couple were divorcing.
He shares three children with Billi, and has two from a previous relationship.
Lou is a mum to 14-year-old daughter Lux Atkin from a previous relationship.
Last year, she revealed she hoped to marry Andy despite their tumultuous relationship and admitting he “brings the drama”.
She shared: “I would really like to marry him, yes. So we’ll see. But he is still married.”
Nine months on and Andy is still married – and now he’s single.
