She also revealed that Jack’s busy filming schedule on Coronation Street played a role in their drifting apart. "When you’re in a relationship with someone in the public eye, it’s not always easy," she added.

Since leaving the show and her high-profile relationship, Lauren has focused on raising their children and building a new career away from acting. "I wanted something more stable for my kids," she said.
