‘I will never ever get over this but I will learn how to live everyday with Lorena in my heart she will be with me always and I will be with her again one day…
‘My [angel emoji] Lorena I love you so much [heartbreak emoji](sic).’
Lauren revealed she was expecting her second child in January, just days after it was revealed she had kicked partner Charles out of the family home following his fling with another woman.
Speaking to OK! magazine about her pregnancy, Lauren admitted the exes were debating whether to keep the baby.
She said: ‘We weren’t very careful and Charlie was really pleased, but being honest I was really in two minds about it. I was like, “I’m just getting myself back together – I’m going back to square one. Is this fair?” You get real mum guilt].
‘A lot went through my mind which is why I’ve held out a bit longer until I’ve announced it. Charlie was like, “I really want this baby.” And I said, “So do I.” I made the decision to go ahead with it and I’m so glad I did.”‘
Loved-up: Lauren and Charles’ whirlwind romance first came to light in October 2020, they announced their expecting their first child together just three months after going public
Lauren and Charles split in November, months after their baby daughter was born, but reconciled three weeks later. They then split again in January before coming together once more in April.
She added: ‘We had that little break [in November] and he came back and was like, “You’re not having a termination – I want this family.”
‘I knew deep down I was going to go ahead with it, but I was scared. I’ve got to think of Larose too.’
Explaining how she found out she was expecting just eight weeks after giving birth to Larose, Lauren said: ‘I hadn’t had a period for quite a few weeks, my nipples were killing me and when I was breastfeeding the pain was unbearable.
‘I thought, “I bet you I’m pregnant!” I did a test and it said positive.’
Turmoil: The news comes amid a heartbreaking time for the former TOWIE star, who is mourning the death of her ex-boyfriend Jake McClean
Charles added that his time apart from Lauren made him realise what he was missing and that going to therapy helped him mature from a ‘boy to a man.’
The couple’s whirlwind romance first came to light in October 2020 when Lauren teased she was dating a mystery man, who was soon to be identified as Charles.
They announced they were expecting their first child together just three months after going public with their relationship.
The news comes as she mourns the death of her ex-boyfriend Jake McClean who was killed after his car careened off the road in Turkey last Sunday, leaving passenger and close friend Yazmin Oukhellou seriously injured.

Lauren broke her silence on the shock death on her Instagram page, writing: ‘R.I.P Jake, I have no words right now. My thoughts are with your family & friends.’
She later shared a heartbreaking series of lyrics to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, just days after his death was confirmed.

Lauren previously announced that she suffered a miscarriage after trying for a baby with Jake while competing on Dancing On Ice in 2013.
The reality star shared her heartbreak on Channel 5 programme, In Therapy, explaining: ‘I was on a TV show that was quite intense. I had to try and perform when I was quite far gone. It didn’t last’.
Lauren said: ‘I’m the type of person who, when something happens, I move on. That’s how I am. It’s not something I addressed.’
