A source has now told : "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."
While Andy and Lou have been keeping a low profile, they were spotted browsing in London's hip Spitalfields Market earlier this week.
