Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow are set to divorce after secretly separating earlier this year following two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer has confirmed.
The Premiere League player, 35, and TOWIE star, 36, tied the knot in June 2022 in a lavish Hampshire ceremony, shortly after the groom was snapped passed out in bed between TWO blondes during his raucous Dubai stag-do.
Andy, who shares three-children with his estranged wife, said in a statement: ‘Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings’.
‘It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.’
Meanwhile a source told The Sun: ‘Andy and Billi care about each other a lot and have made some great memories together, but decided it was best for the family if they went their separate ways having grown apart’.
