Billi has been 'blindsided' by Andy’s new romance, MailOnline revealed last week.
The new couple have been pictured cosying up on the beach in Mallorca to celebrate Influencer Lou's 41st birthday.
They enjoyed a day at Balneario Beach Club, where they could be seen drinking cocktails and glasses of rose and had icecreams delivered to their sun loungers.
Former Newcastle and Liverpool striker Andy couldn't keep his hands off of Lou, who looked gorgeous in a bright pink bikini as they frolicked in the sea.
Friends of Billi say she is still grieving their split and is devastated that Andy moved on so quickly, having been together for 11 years.
Andy has been growing close to makeup artist Lou - who is friends with Harry Styles - since their separation and she’s even visited him in Bordeaux, France where he now plays.
His new romance grew while Billi was enjoying her own holidays with the pair’s five children, including eldest two - Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 - Andy’s kids from a previous marriage whom the reality star brought up as 'her own'.
A source told MailOnline: 'Billi was upset the marriage ended, but accepts it had run its course.'

They added: 'They had plenty of ups and downs but she doesn’t regret a thing, because it’s given her three children and two more from Andy’s previous relationship, who she’s grown incredibly close to and still live with her full-time.
'Andy is currently based in France, but comes back to see them as much as possible. Billi will continue bring up Emilie Rose and Lucas.'
On his new romance, the source added: 'It was a shock for Billi, given they only split months previously.
'It left her blindsided initially but he’s single now, so he can do what he wants.
'But what she doesn’t want to do is cause any fallouts between herself and Andy for the sake of the kids.
'They intend to co-parent them and continue to provide a loving family unit.'
MailOnline contacted Billi and Andy’s representatives for comment.
Billi and Andy - who also share children Arlo, eight, Wolf, five, and Marvel Mae, two - set up a family home in Rod Stewart old house in Epping, which they bought for £4.1million in 2019.
The pair married in June 2022 in a lavish Hampshire ceremony and days later, threw a Coachella-themed party for their friends and family.
The build up to the nuptials was overshadowed by Andy’s debauched stag do, when he was pictured lying in bed asleep next to glamorous bar manager Taylor Jane Wilkey in a Dubai hotel room.
Speaking to The Sun, Taylor said the photos were 'a joke.'
Although she gave him a frosty reception upon his return, Billi forgave the striker and the wedding went ahead as planned.
Following his notorious stag do antics, Andy has managed to reinvent himself as a devoted family man, posing up for wholesome snaps which Billi has posted on her Instagram page to her 400,000 Instagram followers.
