A source said: 'Everyone thinks Andy is acting like an utter p***k and is making himself look like a total fool posting so many sexy shots with Lou - who he moved on with alarmingly quickly after separating from the mother of his kids.
'While he is off gallivanting around the party island, posting all these snaps that scream 'we are having hot sex!', Billi is at home looking after not only their children, but his two kids from a previous relationship with ex-fiancee Faye Johnstone.
'It's a silent gut-punch to Billie, who is an angel and adores the kids - looking after them and protecting them from this circus is her number one priority.'
Andy and Billi have three children together Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship.
Billi regularly shares photos of all five children to her Instagram and her pals are said to be furious she's holding down the fort at home while Andy lives it up with Lou.
The insider said the situation feels 'disrespectul' but Billie is trying to hold her head high and carry on looking after the kids.
Billi's legal team is reportedly working out the details of her divorce from multi-millionaire footballer Andy and sources say she has 'no interest' in dating anyone new for the time being.
MailOnline has contacted representatives of Billi and Andy for comment.

In 2022, Andy's wedding to Billi was almost called off when he was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do.
Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened.
Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple's marriage was over - with Andy confirming they had started divorce proceedings after 'a hard few months for our family'.
Despite claims Billi was 'blindsided' by the relationship, friends of hers say that she 'knew Andy had someone' but she just wasn't sure who it was. She found out shortly before the romance was made public.
Weeks later Andy made his relationship with Lou public in October for a Halloween party dressed as Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
In January, Andy went Instagram with girlfriend Lou as he shared a cosy snap of the couple.
It comes after Andy seemingly took a swipe at his estranged wife as he broke his silence over his new romance with Lou.
Speaking to The Times Andy gushed: 'I've seen a different world since I've been with Lou, This Christmas, like she does every Christmas, she will go with her daughter to look after the isolated elderly.
'She's a volunteer for Choose Love and a campaigner for LGBTQ+. She says to me, "Why would you hate anyone?'" That's someone I need in my life.'

It comes after Andy was reportedly caught entering his former Essex home without informing his estranged wife.
The sportsman is said to have waited until she had left before going inside to collect some belongings.
However, the home's security cameras alerted her to his presence through her phone.
A source told The Sun: 'He was busted the moment he entered the property as Billi was alerted to his movements on their home CCTV, connected to her phone.
'She hadn’t realised he was back from France and was understandably shocked and upset. She watched the whole thing unfold on her phone. She felt it was sneaky.'
The pair, who married after an eight-year engagement, are in the process of selling their £8.5 million mansion, once owned by Sir Rod Stewart.
