Former One Direction hairstylist Lou Teasdale and English footballer Andy Carroll were seen enjoying a cosy family date at London's Winter Wonderland this Monday, just after revealing their exciting plans to marry.
A Festive Family Outing
The couple, who have been on and off over the years, appeared stronger than ever as they immersed themselves in the Christmas spirit at Hyde Park's festive attraction. The 42-year-old hairstylist and 36-year-old striker were accompanied by Andy's children, making it a proper family affair.
Andy Carroll shares three children - Arlo, 10, Wolf, 8, and Marvel, 5 - with his estranged wife Billi Mucklow, plus two older children, Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, from his previous relationship with ex Faye Johnstone. The entire group seemed to be having a wonderful time together, enjoying fun rides, playing games and sampling delicious festive foods.
Style and Smiles in Hyde Park
Lou showcased her typically effortless style, wearing a black leather bomber jacket with leggings and boots, completing her look with a dark Adidas baseball cap. Meanwhile, Andy turned heads in a multicoloured retro ski jacket paired with black denim, sporting a navy Christmas jumper underneath for that perfect festive touch.
The football star proved himself to be the ultimate doting father during their sweet family outing. He watched the circus performance with his younger children and later demonstrated his skills at the games stalls, winning not one but two giant teddy bears for his delighted kids.
Building a New Life Together
This heartwarming family scene comes after the couple enjoyed a romantic trip to Magaluf back in April, when rumours first began circulating that Andy was considering a proposal. The former Liverpool striker and his TOWIE star ex Billi confirmed their separation last September, though they had actually parted ways earlier in the year after being together for eleven years.
Andy and Lou made their relationship Instagram official earlier this year and have since started a fresh chapter in France following his transfer to fourth-tier club Bordeaux. A friend of the couple previously revealed to The Sun that Andy is very close to proposing to Lou, describing them as "madly in love" and noting the positive influence Lou has had on him.
The friend added that Andy has been telling friends his "divorce can't come quick enough" as he looks forward to his future with Lou. This new relationship marks a significant fresh start for the footballer after his previous marriage ended following his 2022 stag do scandal in Dubai, where he was photographed drunkenly passed out in bed with two women.
Despite claims that Billi was blindsided by Andy's new relationship, friends of hers have stated that she knew he had moved on with someone, though she wasn't initially sure who it was. As Andy and Lou continue to build their life together in France, their sweet family day out at Winter Wonderland shows just how strong their bond has become.
