Former Premier League player Andy Carroll has put his £8.5 million house up for sale amidst a tense divorce battle with his ex-wife Billi Mucklow.
Carroll seems not to have earned a soft career landing after promising spells with big clubs in the Premier League as well as his private life.
From the English top flight, he is currently plying his trade with French second-division side Bordeaux after a bedraggled transfer saga.
Meanwhile, his matrimonial life with former partner Billi has been in ruins. The pair wed in 2022 after years of dating, but the relationship tumbled with the pair going their separate ways recently.
Carroll’s matrimonial deadlock with Billi was envisaged. Before the pair tied the knot, they nearly broke up after footage showed the footballer gassed out in bed with strange women.
Billi, who has mothered three kids for the footballer, was upset with the footage. She wanted to call off their marriage plans but was talked back to reverse the decision after one of the ladies in the footage swore that nothing sexual happened with Carroll.
They would later get married and move on, but sources close to the family reveal the marriage has been on the rocks since then, with Carroll the protagonist of the stormy union.
Sources close to Billi reveal the beautiful blonde has struggled to put up with Carroll’s sexual spree that has embarrassed their young family.
She reportedly separated from the footballer in September 2024 and has filed for divorce with claims to some of Carroll’s properties.
Andy Carroll puts up a house for sale amidst the divorce saga.
Andy Carroll has reportedly decided to put his house in Essex, England, for sale amidst his divorce battle with Billi.
It is believed his decision to sell the property is linked to his feud with Billi. Billi, who was reportedly living in the house, is said to have loathed the likelihood of Carroll coming to the house unannounced.
This is because the footballer seems to have moved on fast from their broken marriage. He is reportedly dating 42-year-old French make-up artist and Instagram influencer Lou Teasdale.
Billi Mucklow angry that Carroll has moved on fast
Notably, Carroll is not only dating Teasdale after his breakup with Billi but has been flaunting the new girlfriend in the face of the ex-wife. Billi is reportedly offended to some length by Carroll’s swift switch to another relationship and fears that the footballer could one day show up in the house without any notice.
She has been dragging the property with the footballer as part of her divorce proceedings.
Why Andy Carroll sell £8.5m Essex property
It is believed Carroll’s decision to sell the house is likely to further stoke tensions with Billi, who reportedly has the backing of his close families against Carroll’s ’embarrassing’ escapades.
They are reportedly planning to further file more claims in the divorce proceedings and force the footballer to relinquish control of other properties so it won’t go the same route as the one at Essex.
Billi and Andy Carroll reportedly started dating as teens. They got engaged in 2014 but would wait eight years later before taking nuptial vows in 2022.
Meanwhile, close sources reported there were cracks in the relationship with Carroll, accused of sex sprees even when they were about to be wed.
Billi Mucklow reportedly took it all with a grain of salt and showed understanding but finally decided to let go after she could no longer bear it.
