Footballer Andy Carroll says his marriage to Billi Mucklow was a “car crash” and that their relationship was already “on its last legs” before they married, according to reports from multiple outlets.
The statements appear in a new tell-all book titled *Owning It*. The sources describe Carroll’s account as portraying the relationship as already deteriorating prior to their wedding, and then extending into the marriage itself. While the outlets focus on the same characterization—using phrases such as “car crash” and “on its last legs”—they largely repeat Carroll’s claims rather than provide additional independent details about specific events.
Taken together, the coverage centers on Carroll’s retrospective remarks about the state of the relationship and the lead-up to the wedding, with each outlet emphasizing his language. None of the reports materially dispute the account, but the emphasis varies between framing the marriage as already failing and highlighting the timing of his comments before the marriage began.
