The pair split last year, but recent photos of Charles leaving Lauren’s home sparked rumours that they had gotten back together.

In a new interview, Lauren addressed the recent speculation.

She told OK: “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.”

The ex-couple lost their late newborn daughter Lorena, who tragically passed away in July 2022. 

Lorena was born with two knots in her umbilical cord, tied around her neck.

Despite doctors doing everything they could in an attempt to save her, she passed away shortly after her birth. 

The reality star shared the devastating news of their daughter’s passing on Instagram at the time.

Alongside a black-and-white photo of her holding her baby’s hand, Lauren wrote: “Lorena R.I.P 08.07.22.

“She was the most beautiful healthy baby I’ve ever seen just like her sister @babylarose.x … words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth too for my angel to be taken from me.”

It comes after friends of the star reportedly became concerned with the two getting back together again.

A source revealed to The Celeb Report in February: “Lauren’s friends have begged her not to get back together with her ex Charles Drury after they heard Charles had spent the night at her house this week.

“A few of them reached out to her and told her to stay away from him as they feel like he is bad news and will only bring her more heartache.

“Lauren insisted that he just slept in the spare room and that they are working on co-parenting Larose, but those closest to her know she and Charles are growing closer.

“They feel it’s only a matter of time before they are back together.”

The pair first started dating in October 2020 but had an on-and-off relationship over the years and split up in November 2021 before reconciling.

At the beginning of her pregnancy with Lorena, Lauren revealed she and Charles had gone their separate ways once again.
