Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum podcast, Lauren revealed: “It’s hard because it was like, there’s so many emotions that went with that because it was like the end of my marriage, obviously.
“And I, you know, looking back on that time, it was like, it was one of the hardest times of my life because I’m so… I don’t want to say regretful because I don’t regret anything.
“And everything happens in your life for a reason. And I’m a firm believer in that, so, do I wish that it had happened a different way and that I could go back and change certain things? Of course I do.”

“And so however we got there and however it happened, I just believe that it was meant to be. And like I said, as much as I wish I could go back and take away the hurt and take away the pain that that caused for, you know, my ex-husband and for Adam and for my family and for various people.
“It happened and, you know, but so the emotions were, were intense. And they were wide ranging. So there was, you know, there was a lot of emotion at the time.”
As she continues to move on with Simon and their son, Lauren confirmed she is in a good place with her ex, too. The duo share son Adam and worked out a good co-parenting routine.
