Andy Carroll apparently took a swipe at his ex-wife Billi Mucklow as he broke his silence about new romance with Lou Teasdale (Andy and Lou pictured earlier this week).
The former Liverpool striker, 35, announced his split from the TOWIE star (pictured) and mother of his three children in October, after secretly splitting earlier this year.
It comes after Andy was reportedly caught breaking into his former Essex home without informing his ex-wife.
The athlete is said to have waited until she left before going inside to collect some belongings.
However, the home’s security cameras alerted her to his presence through her phone.
A source said the sun: ‘He He was arrested the moment he entered the property when Billi was alerted to his movements on his home CCTV, linked to his phone.
“She hadn’t realized he had returned from France and was understandably shocked and upset. She watched it all unfold on her phone. She felt it was a hoax.
The couple, who married in 2022 after an eight-year engagement, announced their separation earlier this year and are in the process of selling their £8.5million mansion, once owned by Sir Rod Stewart.
MailOnline has approached Billi and Andy’s representatives for comment.
Andy and his wife Billi confirmed their divorce in September after secretly splitting earlier this year after being together for 11 years.
She later went public with her new romance weeks later (pictured), while Billi’s friends claimed they suspected she was dating celebrity makeup artist Lou, 41, before the former couple split.
Speaking to The Times, Andy gushed: “I’ve seen a different world since I’ve been with Lou. This Christmas, as she does every Christmas, she’s going with her daughter to look after the isolated elderly.”
‘She is a Choose Love volunteer and LGBTQ+ activist. She says to me, “Why would you hate someone?” He’s someone I need in my life.
Andy said in a statement: ‘Billi and I privately separated earlier this year and are underway with our divorce process.
Despite claims that Billi was “surprised” by the relationship, friends say she “knew Andy had someone” but wasn’t sure who it was. She found out shortly before the romance became public.
Billi’s family are furious with her ex-husband Andy over the footballer’s “complete lack of loyalty” to her, MailOnline can reveal.
His brother, another former reality star, Sam, 32, who now runs a property construction company, completely cut ties with the former West Ham and Liverpool striker after he embarked on a new relationship with Lou following his marriage breakup with Billi.
Sam believes Andy’s actions are particularly hard on Billi, given that she has raised her two oldest children from a previous relationship, Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, as her own and will continue to do so despite that the couple will marry in 2022, going their separate ways.
It comes after Andy was reportedly caught breaking into his old Essex home without informing his ex-wife (pictured together in happier times).
Billi and Andy share children Arlo, eight, Wolf, six, and Marvel Mae, as well as daughter and son from a previous marriage, Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 (pictured all together).
Insiders told MailOnline that Billi’s family are privately furious with Andy, but Sam has been the most vocal and now wants nothing to do with the former England striker.
It comes as MailOnline can also reveal that Andy’s new partner Lou is desperate to avoid any confrontation with the Mucklows and has no intention of rubbing their new relationship in their faces.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Sam is furious with Andy, he has lost a lot of respect for him.
‘Billi has been a great mother to her two eldest children, they are part of the family and she has raised them as if they were her own.
