They’ve only been together for a month, spotted together just a day after he announced his divorce.
And now Andy Carroll and Louise Teasdale have hired former glamour model Nicola McLean as their PR as they aim to become the new power couple of showbusiness.
Dressing up as the ultimate WAG for Halloween last week, Lou and Andy made their first public appearance together in fancy dress as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
And The Mail can now reveal the new couple are hopeful for Nicola to manage their image and launch them as the new ‘Posh and Becks.’
Nicola will help orchestrate their image in the hope that can be a power couple.

Sources close to ex-model Nicola McLean says she is determined to make the pair into a super star pairing
Sources close to Nicola, who was one of the UK’s most successful glamour models, appearing on Page 3’s almost every week for five years and notching up 300 appearances in total, say that she is determined to make them into a super star pairing following the former England footballer’s split from Billi Mucklow.
One said: ‘Nicola was asked to manage Lou around the time that her relationship with Andy came out. She thinks that they are a wonderful couple and they have the potential to be a brilliant brand.
‘She reckons they are cool and trendy, and different and they can get some decent deals as a couple. Nicola is so excited about it.’
Nicola, 43, is carving herself out as a celebrity agent after many years of being in the limelight herself. She was a contestant on I’m A Celebrity Get me Out Of Here back in 2008 and finished in sixth place.
And in 2012 she was a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, also returning in 2017 for their All-Star series.
As well as 41-year-old Lou, Nicola also now manages Lauryn Goodman, the former mistress of footballer Kyle Walker with whom she two children Kairo, four, and Kinara, 14 months.
Having married a footballer herself, McLean knows a thing or two about being a WAG and the world of showbusiness.
She married Tom Williams in June 2009 who played for Queens Park Rangers, West Ham, Peterborough United and Birmingham City throughout his career.
The pair share sons Rocky, and Striker.
In February Nicola told The Sun she believes ‘all footballers are cheats’.
‘I’d go as far as saying all footballers are cheats – or at least I’ve never known a faithful one,’ she said.
‘I hope there are exceptions but I’d be surprised. I still get married ones sliding into my DMs now. I don’t want to give them the satisfaction of knowing I’ve read them so I quickly open them, screenshot, send them to Tom and then mark them as unread.
‘Footballers behave appallingly and I’m not excusing them in this. I’m a girl’s girl and hate the way they talk about women. But women should have more self respect and not just accept it.
‘I’m teaching my sons to be respectful to women, and if I had a daughter I’d be mortified if she behaved like some of the wannabe WAGS. I’d make sure she had a lot of self-respect and knows her worth.’
Nicola’s plans for Andy and his new lover come three weeks after MailOnline revealed that his split from Billi was ‘getting nasty.’
Billie, 36, a star of ITV2 show The Only Is Essex, was fuming after Andy, 35, whisked Lou away to Mallorca to celebrate Lou’s 41st birthday.
The pair were seen cuddling in the sea as the former Newcastle striker couldn’t keep his hands off Lou in a pink bikini.
While they were frolicking in the sea, Billi was at home at the £4 million family home doing the school run and looking after the couple’s children. Billi is determined to keep the property – Sir Rod Stewart’s former mansion, Copped Hall, in Epping, Essex. The 18th century home boasts 25 acres of land, a football pitch and a lake which Billi and Andy bought for £4.1million in 2019.
One source close to the estranged couple said: ‘Seeing Andy on holiday having a lovely time while she is at home doing the school run and looking after five children would leave any woman incandescent.
‘She is at home while Andy is away enjoying the sunshine. She is used to him being away for his football but it all feels like Billi’s nose is being rubbed in it now.’

MailOnline first revealed that Andy and Lou had grown closed just one day after Carroll announced his divorce from reality star Billi Mucklow.
They tied the knot in June 2022, but in early October confirmed they are set to divorce after secretly separating earlier this year.
Friends of Billi say she is still grieving their split and is devastated that Andy moved on so quickly, having been together for 11 years.
Just this week Billi jetted off to the sun with the five children and her sister Georgie Dark.
Her latest snaps showed her and the children on a boat trip and enjoying cocktails on the beach.
Andy has five children including Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 – his kids from a previous marriage whom Billi is said to have brought up as ‘her own’.
The pair then share children Arlo, eight, Wolf, five, and Marvel Mae, two, together.
