Reality television personality Lauren Goodger has once again captured attention on social media, sharing a fresh batch of festive and figure-hugging selfies to her Instagram followers this Monday. The 38-year-old star of The Only Way Is Essex showcased her style in a variety of outfits, from plunging tops to sportswear, while also offering a glimpse into her personal life and recent reflections.
A Festive Fashion Display
In her latest Instagram post, Lauren Goodger left little to the imagination with a series of snaps designed to set pulses racing. She confidently displayed her cleavage in a selection of daring tops and skimpy sports bras. Not content with just one look, she later changed into form-fitting workout gear, highlighting her curves. In a sweet festive moment, she coordinated with her four-year-old daughter, Larose, both wearing matching white faux fur. The child is from her previous relationship with ex-partner Charles Drury.
This follows a similar gallery shared just the day before, which she captioned with 'A lil more mixture'. Earlier in the weekend, Lauren had wowed fans in a sheer white top and ruched skirt ensemble, perfectly displaying her assets. Her evening look featured a strapless black semi-sheer top, and she was also seen enjoying drinks with friends in a stylish white lace minidress that showed off her legs.
Personal Reflections and Celibacy
Amidst the glamorous photos, Lauren has been openly sharing more profound thoughts about her personal life. She recently reflected on her journey with celibacy, posting content about 'meaningless exchanges not serving the soul'. Earlier this month, she shared a quote to her Instagram Story from a man discussing why women choose celibacy.
The post read: 'The longer a woman stays celibate, the idea of someone touching her who doesn't meet her mental, physical, and spiritual wants and needs will literally make her feel sick. She's no longer willing to settle for meaningless exchanges or relationships that don’t serve and nourish her soul.'
This is not a new topic for the TOWIE star. In 2019, she posted and quickly deleted a message stating she hadn't had sex for two years, a sentiment she repeated in a late-night Instagram Story in 2020 before deleting it two hours later.
Overcoming Tragedy and Co-Parenting
Lauren Goodger's life has been marked by profound tragedy alongside her public persona. In 2022, she gave birth to her second daughter, Lorena, who was tragically born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and did not survive.
Lauren later revealed the harrowing details, explaining she was rushed to hospital during a planned home water birth after her midwife could no longer detect a heartbeat. Following a two-hour labour, more than ten doctors performed chest compressions and administered adrenaline in a desperate attempt to save Lorena, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
In the wake of this loss, Lauren and Charles Drury have navigated a new chapter. The pair have now settled into a platonic relationship focused on co-parenting their daughter Larose, finding a new dynamic after the hardships in their romance and the devastating death of their child.
