The TOWIE star, 36, and the footballer, 35, tied the knot in June 2022, but last week confirmed they are set to divorce after secretly separating earlier this year.
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.
Former Newcastle and Liverpool striker Andy has been growing close to makeup artist Lou, 40 – 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 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.
Taylor also posed for snaps wearing one of his personalised bathrobes.
Speaking to The Sun, Taylor said the photos were ‘a joke.’
She explained: ‘It was an afterparty. We all went back to his hotel. There was me, Andy and my female friend.
‘I didn’t sleep with him, it wasn’t like that, there was three of us in the room.
‘It was a full day and night of drinking, we’d been at Cove Beach since 12, it was a really boozy day. Andy was steaming, we were all drunk.’
She added: ‘We went back to Andy’s hotel suite and we played some music and he got into bed and passed out.
‘I was there with my friend until the early hours and took the photo as a joke.
‘My mates back home were goading me for the lowdown so I took that picture for a laugh and sent it to them.
‘Nothing sexual happened. It was just a bit of banter.’
