They have only been together for a month and were spotted together 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 look to become showbusiness’ new power couple.
Lou and Andy dressed up as the ultimate WAG for Halloween last week, making their first public appearance together in costume as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
And The Mail can now reveal that the new couple are hoping Nicola will manage their image and launch them as the new ‘Posh and Becks’.
Nicola will help orchestrate their image in the hope that they can become a power couple.

Sources close to ex-model Nicola McLean say she is determined to make the pair a superstar couple
Sources close to Nicola, one of Britain’s most successful glamour models, who appeared on Page 3 almost every week for five years and made 300 appearances in total, say she is determined to make them a superstar couple after the last time. The England footballer is divorced from Billi Mucklow.
One said: ‘Nicola was asked to manage Lou around the time her relationship with Andy ended. She thinks they are a great couple and that they have the potential to be a brilliant brand.
“She thinks they are cool and trendy and different and that they could get some good deals as a couple. Nicola is so excited about it.’
Nicole’s rep added: ‘Nicola has been friends with the couple for years but does not manage Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale, nor does she work with them professionally in any capacity.’
Nicola, 43, is setting up shop as a celebrity agent after years in the spotlight herself. She was a contestant on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2008, where she finished in sixth place.
And in 2012, she was a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, returning for their All-Star series in 2017.
Alongside Lou, 41, Nicola is now also the manager of Lauryn Goodman, the former mistress of footballer Kyle Walker, with whom she has two children, Kairo, four, and Kinara, 14 months.
Having married a footballer herself, McLean knows a thing or two about life as a WAG and the world of showbusiness.
She married Tom Williams, who played for Queens Park Rangers, West Ham, Peterborough United and Birmingham City throughout his career, in June 2009.
The couple have sons Rocky and Striker.
In February, Nicola told The Sun that she believes ‘all footballers cheat’.
“I would go as far as to say all footballers cheat, or at least I’ve never known a faithful one,” she said.
“I hope there are exceptions, but I would be surprised. I still get married people in my DMs. I don’t want to give them the satisfaction of reading them, so I quickly open them, screenshot them, send them to Tom and then mark them as unread.
“Footballers behave horribly and I don’t forgive them for this. I’m a girly girl and I hate the way they talk about women. But women should have more self-respect and not just accept it.
“I teach my sons to be respectful of women, and if I had a daughter I would be ashamed if she behaved like one of the wannabe WAGS. I would make sure she had a lot of self-respect and knew her worth.”
Nicola’s plans for Andy and his new lover come three weeks after MailOnline revealed his split from Billi ‘got nasty’.
Billie, 36, a star of ITV2 show The Only Is Essex, was left furious after Andy, 35, took Lou to Majorca to celebrate Lou’s 41st birthday.
The pair were seen cuddling in the sea, with the former Newcastle striker unable to keep his hands off Lou in a pink bikini.
While they were playing in the sea, Billi was at home in the family’s £4million home, where he ran school and looked after the couple’s children. Billi is determined to keep the property: Sir Rod Stewart’s former country house, Copped Hall, in Epping, Essex. The 18th-century house has 25 acres of land, a football pitch and a lake, which Billi and Andy bought for £4.1million in 2019.
A source close to the estranged couple said: ‘Seeing Andy enjoying a holiday while he’s at home going to school and looking after five children would make any woman smile.
‘She’s at home while Andy is away, soaking up the sun. She’s used to him being away for his football but now it feels like Billi’s nose is being rubbed in it.’

Mail online was the first to reveal that Andy and Lou had broken up, just a day after Carroll announced his split from reality star Billi Mucklow.
They married in June 2022, but confirmed in early October that they were divorcing after secretly splitting up earlier this year.
Billi’s friends say she is still grieving their split and is devastated that Andy has moved on so quickly after 11 years together.
This week, Billi jetted off to the sun with the five children and her sister Georgie Dark.
Her latest photos showed her taking the kids on a boat trip and drinking cocktails on the beach.
Andy has five children, including Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 – his children from a previous marriage who Billi has reportedly raised as ‘her own’.
The couple later had children Arlo, eight, Wolf, five, and Marvel Mae, two, together.
