LIV LO COMES ACROSS AS AN OPEN BOOK. SCROLL THROUGH HER SOCIAL MEDIA FEED, OR READ HER OP-EDS ON OTHER DIGITAL PLATFORMS, AND YOU'LL FIND HEARTFELT CONFESSIONS ABOUT DEALING WITH THE GRIEF OF SUFFERING A MISCARRIAGE AND LOSING HER BROTHER.
So when I meet the 38-year-old for this interview face to face, I thought we’d be deep-diving straight into untangling the messy knots of grief, and talking about the highs and lows of motherhood.
When we meet on set, Liv is in the middle of getting her hair and makeup done for our photo shoot. She’s friendly and polite, but just a tad guarded. Perhaps the hustle and bustle of a studio isn’t the most conducive location for a heart-to-heart chat.
Throughout the conversation, I catch myself thinking: Who is Liv Lo, beyond the tag of former model, presenter, yoga instructor, and Mrs Henry Golding?
The truth is that the answer is never straightforward – Liv is all that, and much more. In the past four years, she’s moved to LA, suffered a miscarriage, lost her brother Sam to a drunk driving incident, had a daughter, licensed a business, and started a new one. A new mother, a grieving sister, a businesswoman… a multi-faceted woman who is navigating life just like the rest of us.
THE AMERICAN DREAM
Liv and Henry moved to Los Angeles after seven years in Singapore, an event that she calls a "growth accelerator moment".
Moving to LA wasn’t easy, especially since the pandemic hit soon after. A big catalyst for this move was the fact that Liv’s brother had passed away unexpectedly in 2019. It made her realise that "life is short".
