However, baby Lorena heartbreakingly passed away only moments after her birth, having been born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. Lauren, 38, has shared how traumatic the loss was, especially as many of her friends were not there for her at the time.
She is still healing from Lorena’s death but has revealed that she has been considering adoption or fostering as she is still single after splitting with Charles. ‘I’m still young, I still can have my own baby, but I’m not with anyone and time is going on,’ Lauren told OK!. ‘I feel like it’s such a beautiful thing to be able to do and I’ve got the space’.
After the tragedy, Lauren and Charles split up and the TV star is planning her future as a single parent. Lauren continued: ‘I’ve always known I wanted more [children], even when I lost Lorena, it never put me off the idea. If things were different with Charlie, then things would have probably been different by now, I’ve still not moved on or been with anyone else.
‘I was so traumatised by everything that I’ve just shut off and all I could be was a mum. I’m really trying my best to heal and that’s why I’ve not moved on.’. Earlier this year, Lauren went through more emotional upheaval as her daughter Larose began to struggle breathing and had to be rushed to the emergency room.
