Andy Carroll showered girlfriend Lou Teasdale with affection on Tuesday, shortly before facing trial for breaching a non-molestation order against his ex-wife.
The ex-England star, who now plays for National League South club Dagenham and Redbridge, appeared at court on Wednesday accused of 'repeatedly calling' former The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow 'without reasonable excuse' on March 11 2025.
Carroll, 37, was arrested on April 27 last year after allegedly breaching the non-molestation order which was put in place by a family court in October 10 2024.
A non-molestation order is a UK court injunction, typically put in place to stop a person from contacting another individual. The punishment for breaching the order ranges from a fine to up to five years in jail for the most serious cases.
But he appeared to have the unwavering support of his current girlfriend as they posed for a holiday snap, posted on social media the day before his appearance in court.

Showing his love for his partner, Carroll captioned the post: 'I love you.'
Carroll, who revealed he had undergone surgery on a fracture and ligaments over the weekend, limped into Chelmsford Magistrates' Court with the aid of crutches and a walking boot on his left foot on Wednesday morning.
Wearing a long khaki coat, Carroll hobbled into the courtroom and was asked if he would like to sit rather than stand by a court clerk. He replied 'I'm ok, I'll stand.'
The striker, of Hackney, east London, spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and elected to have his case heard at a crown court over a magistrates. He indicated he would plead not guilty and was placed on conditional bail.
Deputy District Judge Roy Brown scheduled a plea and trial preparation hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court for March 4, telling Carroll: 'On that occasion you will be asked to enter a plea, if it remains a not guilty plea then arrangements will be made for a trial.'
Carroll split from Mucklow in July 2024 after a turbulent two-year marriage and they began divorce proceedings last September. They have three children together: sons Arlo and Wolf, and daughter Marve.
He is currently dating make-up artist Teasdale after they reportedly met at Glastonbury festival last June.
Carroll was reportedly pounced on by police shortly after landing in the UK from France at Stansted Airport last April.
