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 glamor model Nicola McLean as their PR as they aim to become showbusiness’s 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 hopeful 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 Nicola, one of Britain’s most successful glamor models, who appeared on Page 3 almost every week for five years and made a total of 300 appearances, say she is determined to make them a superstar couple after the last. The English footballer has divorced Billi Mucklow.
One said: ‘Nicola was asked to manage Lou around the time her relationship with Andy came to an end. She thinks they are a great couple and they have the potential to become a brilliant brand.
“She thinks they’re cool and trendy and different and that as a couple they can get some good deals.” 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 establishing herself 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, finishing in sixth place.
And in 2012, she was a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother and also returned for their All-Star series in 2017.
As well as Lou, 41, Nicola now also manages 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 being a WAG and the world of show business.
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 shares sons Rocky and Striker.
In February, Nicola told The Sun that she believes ‘all footballers cheat’.
“I would even go so far as to say that 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 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, take a screenshot, send them to Tom, and then mark them as unread.
‘Footballers behave terribly and I do not excuse them in 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 embarrassed if she acted 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 ‘turned nasty’.
Billie, 36, a star of ITV2 show The Only Is Essex, was furious after Andy, 35, took Lou 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 frolicked in the sea, Billi was at home in the family’s £4million home, doing the school run and looking after the couple’s children. Billi is determined to preserve the property: Sir Rod Stewart’s former country home, Copped Hall, in Epping, Essex. The 18th century house features 25 acres of land, a football pitch and a lake that Billi and Andy bought for £4.1 million in 2019.
A source close to the estranged couple said: ‘Seeing Andy enjoying a holiday whilst at home doing school and looking after five children would leave any woman glowing.
‘She’s at home while Andy is away enjoying 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.’

MailOnline first revealed that Andy and Lou had closed just a day after Carroll announced his split from reality star Billi Mucklow.
They tied the knot in June 2022, but confirmed they were divorcing in early October after secretly splitting earlier this year.
Billi’s friends say she is still grieving their divorce and is devastated that Andy has moved on so quickly after 11 years together.
This week Billi flew to the sun with the five children and her sister Georgie Dark.
Her latest photos showed her and the kids taking a boat trip and enjoying cocktails on the beach.
Andy has five children, including Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 – his children from a previous marriage who Billi is said to have raised as ‘her own’.
The pair go on to share children Arlo, eight, Wolf, five, and Marvel Mae, two, together.
