In a drastic move, the father-of-five wiped all trace of Lou from his social media accounts.
A friend added: “Andy and Lou have been having massive rows for a while.
“It’s been a tough time and now he’s back in the UK, he just wants to focus on football and his kids.
“He hates the influencer lifestyle. He has no interest in posing for loved-up pics.
“He’s most happy spending time with his children and kicking a ball around. Money and fame means nothing to him these days.
“It was clearly causing issues between them.”
The Sun later exclusively revealed how Andy’s partying had caused tension in their relationship, and ultimately led to their split.
A mutual friend of the former couple told us: “Andy’s had a really tough 12 months and has struggled a lot since his marriage breakdown.
“Lou, who is sober, would prefer him to give up boozing, although she has dated other men who drink alcohol in the past.
“Andy’s mad about the idea, but she’s got his best interests at heart.
“She’s been there throughout all the ups and downs over the past year and really does love him.
“But it’s all been very toxic and upsetting. It’s as if they can’t live with or without each other.
“There are changes that Andy has to make – but it’s whether he is committed enough to do that.
