Lauren Goodger denies she’s in relationship with ex Charles Drury: ‘I am single’

Lauren Goodger has put to bed the rumours that she has rekindled her romance with ex-boyfriend Charles Drury. The former TOWIE star, and Charles share daughter Larose, two. Their daughter Lorena tragically passed away just moments after she was born.

Lauren and Charles split last year, but photos of the builder leaving Lauren's home recently sparked rumours that they have gotten back together. However, Lauren is adamant that this is not the case.

Speaking to OK!, for which she was not paid, the former TOWIE star said: "There have been many rumours that I am in a relationship with my ex-partner Charles Drury. I am not. I am single.

"We are co-parenting. This decision has been made for sake of Larose and her future. I haven’t been barely socialising or been on a date with anyone else.

"I am healing and feel like I’m getting to a place where I can start to live normal life again. I am looking forward to socialising and working again in the near future plus being the best mum I can to my beautiful daughter Larose who is my rock."

Earlier this year, Lauren's friends and family were said to be concerned that she had reunited romantically with Charles. One source told us: "We are worried she has taken him back but is keeping it quiet. We have heard they are even in talks to move out of Essex together."

"Her friends are concerned after everything she’s been through. They don’t want her to get hurt and they just want the best for her. But it seems she wants to be with him, despite her friends and family telling her not to be."

However, a second source told new that Lauren and Charles are merely co-parenting their daughter Larose. They said: "Lauren and Charles aren’t romantically together.

"Lauren has been through a lot, so naturally those around her are worried about her. They don’t want her to get hurt emotionally."

Lauren and Charles first began dating in October 2020, but they went through a rocky patch in January last year when she discovered he’d had a fling with Instagram model Amy Gilbert during a brief split. They reconciled and Lauren announced she was pregnant with their second child – late daughter Lorena.

In a recent interview with new magazine, the star admitted the turmoil she’s been through over the last year had left her unable to eat. She said, “I lost nearly three stone after I lost Lorena because of the stress. I didn’t eat. I’m now eating again and I’ve put a stone back on because I’m being more healthy.”

She added: “I stayed indoors and I didn’t go out, and now I feel I’m in a better place mentally. This year is about focusing on me and getting back on track.”
