Ulrika Jonsson has publicly criticized footballer Andy Carroll for “gallivanting across the Mediterranean” with girlfriend Lou Teasdale while his ex-wife, TOWIE star Billi Mucklow, cares for their five children.

Billi, who shares three kids (Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae) with Andy, also raises his two older children from a prior relationship. Meanwhile, Andy and makeup artist Lou recently rekindled their romance after a brief split, sharing loved-up vacation snaps on social media.

Ulrika’s Scathing Critique
In her Sun column, Ulrika praised Billi’s “unwavering dignity” in prioritizing the children’s needs, contrasting her ex’s behavior. “While their father’s tongue is attached to Lou’s tonsils, Billi ensures continuity and routine for the kids,” she wrote. Ulrika questioned why mothers often shoulder childcare alone while fathers “satisfy their own needs,” calling Andy’s public romance “exhausting to watch.”

Andy and Lou’s Turbulent Relationship
The couple split earlier this month after reports of boozy clashes, with insiders revealing Lou ended things due to tensions over Andy’s drinking. However, they’ve since reconciled, with Andy vowing to cut back on alcohol. “We row like any couple,” he told The Sun, admitting his ongoing divorce from Billi added strain.

Billi and Andy’s Rocky Past
The exes divorced in 2023 after a tumultuous marriage, including a near-canceled wedding when Andy was photographed passed out with two women during his Dubai stag do. Billi forgave him but later filed for divorce, citing a “hard few months.” She remains dedicated to co-parenting their children and Andy’s two older kids.

Lou’s Frustration
Sources claim Lou was “unimpressed” by Andy’s grand gestures post-split, including a private jet trip to Ibiza to win her back. Despite re-following each other on Instagram, insiders say Lou is focused on moving forward privately.

Ulrika’s comments highlight ongoing debates about parental responsibility, as Andy’s jet-setting romance continues to spark backlash.
