Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow's first meeting as he's forced to grovel ahead of wedding

Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow are set to marry in just a few days, but the pair's relationship has been making headlines as the professional footballer was recently pictured in bed with two other women.

The Only Way is Essex star Billi jetted off to Dubai for her hen do last week, and shortly after Andy joined her to begin his stag do.

But things turned sour when Andy had a boozy night out after his fiancée returned home, and photos emerged of him topless passed out in bed between two beautiful women.

Despite his compromising position, one of the women has claimed that nothing sexual happened between them.

Bar boss Taylor Wiley told The Sun: “It was an afterparty. We all went back to his hotel.

“There was me, Andy and my female friend. I didn’t sleep with him, it wasn’t like that. There was three of us in the room.”

As their relationship turns rocky, here’s a look back at Billi and Andy's nine-year romance.

How did Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow meet?

Details about the pair's first meeting remain under wraps, as they kept their relationship hidden at first.

They were first rumoured to have started dating in the summer of 2013, while Carroll was signing contracts for a £15million transfer deal to West Ham, but they didn’t go public with their relationship until February 2014.

They had a whirlwind romance and got engaged later that year during a romantic break in Rome.

Andy already had two children, Emilie and Lucas, from a previous relationship.

In June 2015 the couple welcomed their first child together, Arlo, and their second son, Wolf, arrived two years later in November 2017. In 2020 they had their first daughter together, Marvel Mae.

With their wedding scheduled for the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend, many have been left wondering whether Andy and Billi will still go ahead with tying the knot.

But their future remains uncertain. Originally, it seemed that Billi planned to stand by Andy, with a source close to her telling The Sun: “Andy has spoken to her. She believes him when she says nothing happened.

“Footballers are always surrounded by pretty women and it is something she is used to as a Wag.

“She knows it’s part of being married to a footballer. Billi is still angry at him for allowing this situation to occur so soon before their wedding.

“The whole thing is in danger of taking the shine off what should be the happiest few weeks of her life and she doesn’t want that.”

However, the TOWIE star has since removed Carroll from her WhatsApp profile picture and a source told The Sun that Billi is confused.

The mole said: “Billi believed Andy and stood by him but now she doesn’t know what to think. She wants answers and they seem to be just going around in circles.

“Billi is very angry and her deleting Andy from her WhatsApp profile tells those who know her all they need to know.

“She is sticking by him but it’s a very confusing and difficult time.”
