Billi Mucklow ditches her wedding ring as she celebrates first birthday since split from Andy Carroll with her children Marvel, Wolf and Arlo

Billi Mucklow looked radiant as she celebrated her 37th birthday with her children Marvel, Wolf and Arlo during a lavish family holiday – following her recent split from Andy Carroll.

The TV favourite, 36, was caught dropping her wedding ring as she made sure to capture her epic party at a chic exotic destination with her loved ones.

Billi and football icon Andy, 35, announced their split earlier in September after two years of marriage.

The couple share three children, while Billi is also stepmother to Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, who Andy shares with former fiancée Faye Johnstone.

The TOWIE icon looked relaxed and carefree as she posed for a stunning photo with a glass of champagne in hand.

Cheering for new beginnings, the reality sensation simply captioned her latest Instagram carousel: ” Chapter 37 .”

Billi looked radiant and showed off her toned legs as she donned a black cropped T-shirt and matching sarong during her sun-soaked outing, where she was surrounded by friends and family for the special occasion.

In another sweet photo, she can be seen hugging Arlo, 9, Wolf, 6, and Marvel Mae, four, as they all beamed happily.

It comes amid claims Billie fears footballer Andy cheated on her with new girlfriend Lou before their shock break-up last month.

Friends of the reality star suspect the Liverpool striker met with celebrity make-up artist Lou, 41, before the former couple split.

Meanwhile, Andy made his first public appearance with new girlfriend Lou last week as they dressed up for Halloween and attended a party together.

Shortly afterwards, sources claimed that Billi, who still lives with their children in their £5 million home in Essex, is aware that Andy and Lou had been in contact ‘long before’.

A source said The sun: ‘Billi contacted a lawyer after finding out he and Lou were seeing each other over the summer.

‘There is still a lot to be arranged and she is discussing her options. They were together for 11 years. Getting together with Lou was the final straw.

‘She’s not sure when, but her friends and family are extremely angry. They think Andy treated her terribly.”

MailOnline has contacted representatives for both Billi and Andy for comment.

Last week, the reality star — who is preparing to file for divorce action — showed she was ever the doting mother she was when she shared a sweet photo with her kids.

At the same time, Andy and Lou were pictured packing on the PDA on the beach, after jetting off on a romantic holiday to celebrate Lou’s 41st birthday, while Billi was back home looking after their children.

On October 18, she shared a heartwarming photo on her Instagram with all the children cuddled together in their pajamas

MailOnline previously revealed that Billi and Andy’s split is ‘getting nasty’ and that Billi is ‘determined to get everything she can’ as he moves on with a new woman.

The split now threatens to divide Essex’s tight-knit celebrity community, especially as Lou’s twin sister Sam is a central part of it.

One source said: ‘This looks like it could be quite the WAG war.’

MailOnline revealed this month that Billi has been ‘blindsided’ by Andy’s new romance with influencer Lou, with her friends saying she is still mourning their split after 11 years together and is devastated that Andy has moved on so quickly.

A source said: ‘Billi was angry the marriage ended but accepts it had run its course.’

They added that Billi will continue to co-parent all five children, including stepchildren Emilie Rose and Lucas.

They said: ‘They have had a lot of ups and downs but she has no regrets as it has given her three children and two more from Andy’s previous relationship, who she has become incredibly close to and who still works full time with her lives.

‘Andy is currently based in France but comes back to see them as much as possible. Billi will continue to bring up Emilie Rose and Lucas.”

Speaking about his new romance, the source continued: “It was a shock for Billi as they only split months earlier. She was blindsided by it at first, but now he’s single, so he can do whatever he wants.

‘But what she doesn’t want to do is cause a fight between herself and Andy, for the sake of the children. They plan to care for them together and continue to provide a loving family unit.”

Billi and Andy tied the knot in June 2022 in a lavish ceremony in Hampshire and days later threw a Coachella-themed party for their friends and family.

The build-up to the wedding was overshadowed by Andy’s debauched bachelorette party, as he found himself sleeping next to glamorous bar manager Taylor Jane Wilkey in a Dubai hotel room.

In other photos, Taylor was seen posing while wearing one of his personalized bathrobes, but she later insisted to The Sun that the photos were ‘a joke’.

Despite giving him a frosty reception upon his return, Billi forgave the striker and the wedding went ahead as planned.
