TOWIE star Lauren Goodger has vowed never to give up on love – after a string of dating disasters.
The 37-year-old reality star – who returned to Towie this week after nine years away from the show became known for her difficult relationships in the spotlight.
Her exes include Mark Wright, who repeatedly cheated on her, jailbird Joey Morrison, whom she split with shortly after he got out of prison, and Charles Drury, with whom she has a two-year-old daughter, Larose.
The pair were expecting a second daughter, but she tragically died in July 2022.
Charles and Lauren’s relationship ended in August 2022 when he was arrested for actual bodily harm against her and accused of coercive control in the relationship.
In February this year as the case went to court, Lauren dropped support and the charges were dismissed with a ‘not guilty’ verdict.

As she now navigates life co-parenting with Charles, Lauren has vowed to take a different approach when it comes to love, learning from past mistakes and slowing down.
Speaking to MailOnline, Lauren joked: “I would probably have more children but I can’t think of anything worse than being in a relationship right now!
“It’s also such a big deal because Larose comes first. It’s going to take time to bring another man into my life, our life. But I will when the time is right.”
Stating she was “content” with life and wasn’t in need of a romance, Lauren noted that her way of life was different now.

“I fall in love very quickly and that can be a disaster!” she said. “Normally I move in after two weeks, and that’s ‘yeah, yeah, it’s great”’ I’m 100 miles an hour. But I’m slowing down now and I’ll meet someone the right way.”
Lauren added she hoped to find a “nice, decent man who was good to her daughter” and said: “I’m a good girlfriend! I am very old fashioned. I’m very loyal and I’m faithful.
“I’ve got a big heart […] but there’s loads of layers to me and it takes me a while to open up.”
The comments were released just three days after Lauren shared she had rushed baby Larose to hospital.
Lauren explained on Wednesday that Larose had been preventing herself from going to the toilet and was refusing to eat or drink and becoming dehydrated as a result.
She continued: “They would have kept Larose in but I said ‘listen, she’ll be much better at home to sleep’.”
“I knew that she would wake up and eat and drink and that’s exactly what she’s done.”
Thankfully her daughter is now feeling better – although mum Lauren admitted she was exhausted having been up for days.
