Former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger is beaming from ear to ear when we sit down for a Zoom chat with her and boyfriend Charles Drury, and she’s got good reason to be on cloud nine.
The 34-year-old has something very exciting to announce – exclusively revealing to new that she’s pregnant with her first child.
“This is where my life starts,” she tells us as she looks lovingly at her builder beau Charlie, as she affectionately calls him.
Lauren is 14 weeks pregnant this week, and after a whirlwind romance with 23-year-old toyboy Charles, the pair are feeling closer than ever.
“We’re very comfortable with each other and we’ve been through a lot,” she says. “We’re settled at home and we’re having a baby – it’s gone 100 miles an hour! We’re a family now.”
The pair went official in October last year and said the pregnancy “happened so quickly”. And with marriage and more children already on the cards, it appears it’s the real deal for the loved-up couple.
Neither of them are strangers to public relationships. Lauren’s romances with Mark Wright, Jake McLean and jailbird Joey Morrisson have dominated the headlines for over a decade.
Charles first found fame when he was linked to Lauren’s former pal Katie Price last year, although he’s keen to clarify that it “was not a relationship”.
