Lauren Goodger talks about baby loss and future family plans in her new memoir Mum Of Two: Love, Loss And My Life On TOWIE07:13, 14 Jul 2026Lauren Goodger is hoping to expand her family and give her eldest daughter Larose, five, a sibling. The star, whose second daughter Lorena passed away after birth four years ago, said she would use a sperm donor or consider adoption.‌She said: “If I don’t get into another relationship, then why not. I’m on my own now with Larose anyway, I’d find it easier than having to deal with a man. Maybe that’s a good option to think about, but it’s not on the cards yet.”‌Reality TV star Lauren, 39, spoke to OK! about her new book Mum Of Two: Love, Loss And My Life On TOWIE, a powerful memoir about her experience of motherhood and the trauma she experienced losing Lorena.‌TOWIE favourite Lauren says it was tough putting pen to paper and reliving the trauma she’s been through. She explains: “It was so hard. I don’t really think of the past and that’s how I deal with things. But at the same time it made me realise, ‘How did I get through that?’‌"I’m still in fight or flight, I’m still healing and heartbroken. It’s changed me as a person. It did affect me physically, mentally and emotionally. Lauren’s never going to be old Lauren again, because I’ve changed.”Lauren has had many loves and losses, including the sudden death of her ex-boyfriend Jake McLean. Jake tragically passed away aged 33 after a car crash in Turkey, days before Lorena’s birth. Though Lauren wasn’t with Jake at the time of his death - they had been on and off since they started a relationship in 2012 - she still feels a connection to him.She said: “He’s in my dreams constantly. We did so much together, we’ve got loads of memories. We went to Paris and we had a padlock on a bridge with our names on – it’s still there. He was a big part of me and I do believe [if he was still around] he’d have met Larose.”‌“He should’ve come back to me and settled,” she says. “I still speak to his mum and his sister and they said, ‘We wish you had a baby with him.’ I do think there was some sort of future. It was unfinished business with us.”Lauren also revisits some memories of her relationship with her first love, teenage sweetheart and TOWIE co-star Mark Wright, who she was with from the age of 15. Because of her troubled childhood and her difficult relationship with her parents, she said Mark “really saved” her in those adolescent years.‌They have both moved on since they eventually split in 2012. He is now married to actress Michelle Keegan, who Lauren says she has “always been compared to”.“I’m very happy for him, I’m so glad he’s now a dad,” she says. “It’s unfortunate that our lives have moved on in different directions, but if we bumped into them I’d say hello.”Article continues belowLauren Goodger: Mum of Two (Mirror Books, £22) is on sale now from Amazon and all good bookshops.Like this story?
