Andy Carroll takes drastic step to save Lou Teasdale romance after public row

Andy Carroll is reportedly working to repair his relationship with Lou Teasdale after a series of alcohol-fuelled arguments led to police involvement during a recent trip to Mykonos. The former England footballer, 36, is said to be blaming stress from his £20 million divorce from ex-wife Billi Mucklow for his behaviour.

Carroll and Teasdale, 41, began dating in 2024 after his quiet split from Billi. But last month, their relationship hit turbulence while vacationing in Greece. Carroll was reportedly questioned twice by police, once at a busy restaurant and again at a boutique hotel, over disputes with Teasdale.

A staff member at the restaurant exclusively told The Mirror at the time: “We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately. He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.”

While police spoke to Carroll at the scene and later escorted him to a local station, no arrests were made. Another source claimed: "After the restaurant episode, there was another incident at the hotel. This time, the footballer went to the police station. We know the woman stayed somewhere else that night."

A British tourist alleged Carroll shouted at Teasdale: “I’m done with us”, describing him as “very drunk” during the incident.

In response, the couple issued a joint statement downplaying the events: "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. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together.”

Following the holiday, Carroll reportedly vowed to change. Determined to prove himself, he stayed sober at Glastonbury, where the couple celebrated their anniversary at a £38,000 luxury pop-up hotel.

An insider told The Sun: “After everything that’s gone on lately, Andy wanted to make sure their first anniversary was special. Lou’s totally teetotal so he thought it would be nice for them to spend the weekend together sober. Andy adores Lou and would do anything for her.

“He wanted to prove to her that she means more to him than having a drink and to be able to make up for what happened on their holiday so he didn't have any alcohol at Glastonbury.

"He knows she deserves better and wants to put any bad behaviour in the past to bed. Andy is convinced Lou is the one for him and is determined to get his act together and propose."

The couple were later seen at the festival looking close and relaxed. In exclusive pictures taken by The Mirror, the pair seemed happier than ever as they strolled around Worthy Farm one year after meeting there for the first time.

The Mirror has approached Andy's representatives for comment on this story.
