Lauren's pals revealed her plans for the future and how she desperately wants to rebuild her happy family WRIGHT GUY Agonising truth behind Lauren Goodger's 'toxic' recoupling with Charles Drury – pals say Mark Wright 'curse' is to blame GIVING the appearance of a happy family jetting off abroad, Lauren Goodger and her ex Charles Drury, along with their three-year-old daughter Larose, looked as though they didn't have a care in the world. But beneath this picture of domestic bliss lies a far more complicated reality, as 38-year-old Towie star Lauren's relationship with Charles has been plagued with hardship, and pals say she's struggling to let go of her "toxic" relationship with him.

And friends say that while she envisions a future with the 27-year-old builder and even hopes to have another child with him one day, they hold serious reservations about the relationship's stability. Advertisement One pal told The Sun: 'Lauren claims publicly that she and Charles are just co-parenting for Larose. 'But the truth is, she does still have feelings for him and would love nothing more than to have another child with him in the not-too-distant future. 'She isn't putting a label on what their relationship status is, partly because she doesn't want to be judged, but he is more than just her daughter's dad. 'They are closer than they have been in years, and there is still sexual chemistry between them.' Baby plans Plans for a second child come after Lauren's heartbreaking loss of their daughter in July 2022. Advertisement Lauren lost 9lb Lorena minutes after giving birth, despite doctors battling to save her, and the Towie star spent the following precious hours making memories with her. They'd fallen pregnant just three months after welcoming first child Larose in 2021, and Lauren was over the moon to become a mum for the second time before the tragic loss. Lorena, who Lauren described as the "most beautiful healthy baby she'd ever seen", died after her umbilical cord became wrapped around her neck. Lauren Goodger risks wrath of Mark Wright as she says Towie romance 'broke' her On the day of the funeral, Charles was accused of attacking Lauren, and the pair split soon after. Charles was charged with assault and engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards Lauren, which he has denied. Advertisement The case was dropped after Lauren withdrew her support for the case, which resulted in a not guilty verdict. The pair hadn't had the most straightforward of relationships and split up several times. Charles was also accused of cheating on Lauren. But a friend of Lauren's says she'd love nothing more than to be a mum again one day, and wants to have her children with the same man. One pal said: 'Ever since she lost Larose's sister Lorena, she has wanted to give her another sibling one day. Advertisement 'Lauren is very traditional in a lot of ways, and wouldn't want children with different men. She'd like all her kids to have the same dad. 'I would put money on the fact that Lauren will have another baby with Charles one day. 'For all his faults, he is the best dad and absolutely dotes on Larose and vice versa. 'Seeing them together melts Lauren's heart, and while she has done the best job being a single mum, deep down she just wants to be a family unit again. It's hard doing it alone.' 10 Lauren and Charles set the rumour mill spinning when they reunited for dinner recently Credit: Instagram Advertisement 10 Lauren and Charles have jetted off on holiday and visited a lavish spa in recent weeks Credit: Raw Image Ltd 10 Lauren wants to have another baby with Charles, pals say Credit: unleashed Pr 'Not the best partner' Despite Lauren's wishes to extend her family with Charles, friends have shared their concerns for the star, saying they aren't sure he's the best man for her. Weighing in on her current situation, one said: "No one can argue that Charles is a brilliant dad and will do anything for Larose, but he's not the best partner in the world. 'The last time they were together, things were really toxic and he was even charged with assaulting her, although he was later cleared. Advertisement 'Even though both of them have moved past that ordeal, Charles can still blow hot and cold with Lauren, and doesn't always treat her with the respect she deserves. 'The problem is, Lauren is often drawn to these guys who give her mixed messages and mess her around.' The friend also believes that part of the reason Lauren is so keen to make things work with Charles, despite their struggles, is that he is one of the few men she has genuinely loved since she split from Mark Wright. 'Lauren has only really loved two men since Mark - Jake McLean, who tragically passed away in July 2022, and Charles,' explains the pal. 'While she moved on from Mark a long time ago, he was her first love and she always compares subsequent relationships to him. Advertisement 'She's happy for Mark that he has found love with his wife Michelle Keegan, but it's bittersweet for her to see Mark embracing fatherhood. 'It doesn't help that she lives very close to Mark still, so could bump into him at any time. She told her mates just the other week that they had a very near miss when they were both at the same shopping centre at the same time.' Lauren doesn't want children with different men, she'd like all her kids to have the same dad Another friend explains: 'It's not that she wishes she was still with Mark in any way, but she still sometimes gets emotional thinking about everything she went through with him - especially as it all played out so publicly.' In her autobiography, Lauren revealed she terminated a child when she was with Mark, and she still thinks about that. Her friend continued to add: 'That baby would have been 18 this year, and that's a milestone that isn't lost on Lauren. Advertisement 'While Lauren knows it wasn't the right time for her to become a mum, she still thinks about what their child would have been like from time to time and how different her life might have been if she and Mark had become parents then, almost 20 years ago. 'Even though she knows they made the right decision, based on where they were at that point in their lives, Lauren still feels emotional about it.' Lauren, 38, and Mark dated for nine years before finding fame on the TV hit show, which led to their romance crumbling one year later. Last year, Lauren opened up on the split on dating expert Paul C. Brunson's podcast. She said: 'I hurt him, he hurt me. We had that chat and I knew I was never going to see him again.' Advertisement Mark was her first love and she always compares subsequent relationships to him Paul then asked: 'Were you still in love with him?' to which Lauren candidly replied: 'Really honest, I don't think that sort of love from childhood goes away. 'Obviously he's moved on with his life, and he's got to respect that and I respect that, but I would love to say, 'Hey, how are you? All good?' 'We don't speak. How can he have been seen chatting to me? If someone took a photo of that or said something, it could cause a lot of trouble, more than what it is.' 10 The pair hadn't had the most straight-forward of relationships and split up several times Credit: Instagram 10 Lauren terminated a pregnancy when she was with Mark and still thinks about it, pals say Credit: Rex Advertisement 10 Mark is now married to wife Michelle Keegan Credit: PA

Amy Childs shows off her figure in a white cut-out swimsuit while Lauren Goodger puts on a VERY racy display as TOWIE stars share summer snaps
Amy Childs showed off her figure in a white cut-out swimsuit while Lauren Goodger put on a very racy display as the TOWIE stars shared summer snaps. The Only Way Is Essex stars Amy, 35, and Lauren, 38, were two of just eight stars who filmed the very first episode of the show in 2010. Amy made a return to the show in 2021 and Lauren followed suit last year, joining her as they both navigate the constructed reality programme as mothers. And the pair both took to their Instagram this week to share stunning snaps from their summer holidays. Amy displayed her recent weight loss in a white swimsuit from Milk and Honey, featuring a cut-out at the cleavage, as she posed with her cousin and co-star Harry Derbridge. Meanwhile Lauren showed off her ample assets as she took a selfie while lounging in the sun wearing a busty patterned black and grey swimsuit. In another snap, Lauren showed off her bottom as she posed for a snap taken from behind while she was wearing a black swimsuit with a cut-out at the back. It comes after the pair looked incredible as they filmed the new series of TOWIE in Portugal last month. She slipped into a racy brown cut out swimsuit and mesh green cover up as she enjoyed the sunshine, while Lauren sported a multi-coloured cover up. The cast were in Portugal to film the upcoming series, which marks the 15 anniversary of the show. In May, Amy revealed the real reason behind her extreme weight loss after calling off her wedding to her fiancé Billy Delbosq. Addressing the weight loss and cruel trolling she's received as a result of the weight loss in an emotional interview with OK! Magazine she said: 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. 'I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack.' 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.' Amy added: 'But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.' Amy also explained how she once tried using weight-loss injections 18 months ago, but it made her 'so ill she threw up three or four times'. However the star appeared in good spirits as she commenced filming and enjoyed lunch with the cast. TOWIE - which is one of ITVX's most streamed titles with 66million streams in the last 12 months - is back with the brand new series airing on ITV2 and ITVX later this year. Lauren revealed earlier this year that she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed and can't wait to go back to a 'natural look'. She admitted her breast were 'perfect' before although now they simply 'make her look big' while opening up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram on Monday. She wrote in the lengthy caption: '11 years ago I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life. 'I had the perfect boobs .. they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for 1 year they have now changed and I've always found they make me look bigger! 'Also they are heavy and I don't like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boob so much.. so after looking around I've found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos 'This is a HUGE step for me I've wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do ! So it's early stages but I am bringing you a long with me! 'I'm terrified but also for health reasons I'm having implants removed and bring back more to my normal self wanting to reverse everything back to natural.'

Lauren Goodger and ex Charles Drury mark late baby Lorena's 'heavenly' third birthday and praise daughter Larose, 3, for 'giving them strength'
and her ex-boyfriend Charles Drury marked their late daughter Lorena's third birthday on Tuesday. In 2022, the star, 38, who shares daughter Larose, four, with Charles, gave birth to Lorena, who was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. Charles, who previously dated Katie Price, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a series of posts honouring his late baby alongside pictures of Larose while Lauren shared an image of Larose at a picnic with the caption: 'Happy birthday sister'. Alongside a throwback snap to her second birthday, in which he was positioning balloons on her grave, Charles wrote a heartbreaking message to his daughter. Charles penned: 'I can't believe you turn 3 today! My birthay wish will always be the same, but one day we will meet again. If you're as cheeky as your big sister you'll be running riot in the clouds today, taking the icing off the cake... 'Just know you've got so many people thinking about you today. Daddy loves you'. He then shared an image of Larose in her car seat and wrote: 'Less than a year between your birthdays, you'd have both been three years old now. I can't help but imagine how similar you'd look, how you'd be best friends... 'Finding so much strength in Larose today'. The couple recently sparked and later quashed rumours of a reunion when they were spotted enjoying dinner with TOWIE stars Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman. On Tuesday, Junaid shared the same picture and penned: 'Happy heavenly birthday Lorena. Thinking of you both today, your angel baby Lorena would be so proud... 'Today is a hard day for yous. You are family to us and we love Lula like our own'. Shortly after Lorena's death, Laren revealed she was rushed to hospital while in labour at home when her midwife couldn't detect a heartbeat in her unborn child. She had planned for a natural water birth, to be carried out at her Essex home under the supervision of her midwife Tamzin - who had previously delivered Larose. Her waters broke on July 6 and initial vitals were normal, with Lauren deemed 'low risk' after giving birth to her first child without issue. Further tests were carried out the following day, during which the unborn child's heartbeat was detected, but when her contractions began on day three the heart was no longer beating, and Lauren was rushed to hospital. Following a two hour birth more than ten doctors desperately fought to save Lorena by performing chest compressions and administering adrenalin, but to no avail. Lauren and Charles have now settled into co-parenting and a platonic relationship, following hardships in their romance and in the wake of their daughter's death. On the day of Lorena's funeral, Charles was accused of attacking Lauren and they split soon after. Charles was then charged with assault and engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards Lauren, which he has denied. The case was dropped after Lauren withdrew her support for the case, which resulted in a not guilty verdict. Elsewhere, during their on-off relationship things weren't smooth sailing for the couple and Charles was also accused of cheating.
