ANDY Carroll has confirmed his wedding plans with girlfriend Lou Teasdale after just five months of dating.
It follows The Sun’s exclusive reveal that the former Premier League ace has set his sights on their nuptials – as he admitted his divorce with Billi Mucklow, 37, “can’t come quickly enough.”

Ex West Ham player Andy, 36, told pals he is “madly in love” with the stylist, with the pair going Instagram official with their romance in October 2024.
Just a month earlier, back in September, The Sun was first to reveal how sports star Andy and former TOWIE alum Billi were set to divorce, after two turbulent years of marriage.
Now he has referred to Lou as his “wifey” as he reinforced his desire to take their relationship to the next level.
Make-up and hair stylist Lou had taken to her Instagram page to upload a series of snapshots showing her in Milan, Italy.
She showcased a make-up event for Kiko Milano Official where she donned a chocolate brown sleeveless dress and flower neck accessory.
She styled her hair in a half up-do and flashed a pout to the camera and she showed off her look – as well as her tasty grub – with images posted to her grid.
Lou added the caption: “Skinny brows & 90s grey eyeshadow with Milan with @kikomilano & @emmaroberts.”
Andy was quick to comment: “WIFEY,” along with a ring Emoji.
Lou responded with a melting face Emoji to show her emotion.
Andy spoke candidly about his “different world” with celebrity stylist Lou shortly after the pair jetted off on their first holiday together as a couple.
Billi’s fury over Carroll’s girl
FRESH CHAPTER
And just this week, we told how the ex-Liverpool striker is “very close” to popping the question.
The pair have started a new life together in France following his transfer to fourth-tier club Bordeaux.
A friend of the loved up couple said: “Andy is very close to proposing to Lou. They are madly in love.
“She is spending as much time as she can with him in France and Andy has never been happier.
“Lou is exactly what he needs because she is a calming influence on him and it’s noticeable the change she’s had on him to everyone around them.”
The Sun on Sunday revealed Andy’s turbulent two-year marriage to Billi ended in July after 11 years together.
Andy is said to be desperate to cut ties with his old life, but is getting push-back from his ex, who he shares three children with.
“He’s been telling friends his divorce can’t come quick enough,” our source added.
The couple are selling their £8.5million house, previously owned by Sir Rod Stewart, after doubling its value in five years.
Billi was furious after catching Andy on CCTV sneaking back unannounced after he moved out of the house, which is set in 25 acres and boasts a pool, tennis court, boating lake and football pitch.
DARK SIDE
Andy recently opened up about the “dark sides of fame” – saying he cares more about having a “simpler life” than a high salary.
He said: “In France I live a much easier, simpler life.
“People recognise me in the street but respect me. That’s key to my happiness.
“I can go back to being Andy, the boy from the north of England. Not the Premier League star I was, if I ever was. It would be unfair to say that popularity has taken more from me than it has given me, but sometimes it’s hard to manage those situations.
“Fame has its dark sides.”
