Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has hit out at her ex boyfriend Gary Lucy as she cheers to ‘single mums’ on Fathers Day and says she feels bad for her daughter
Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has taken a swipe at her ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy on Father’s Day as she told her social media followers that she feels bad for her 2-year-old daughter Bonnie. Laura and Gary started dating after they both appeared on Channel 4 ’s Celebs Go Dating in 2022 and welcomed their daughter together in 2023.
Despite them splitting up while Laura was pregnant, the couple attempted reconciliation ahead of the birth of their daughter, Bonnie, in September 2023. They were seen together in Scotland, and Gary was present during the labour and delivery, however, it wasn’t meant to be, and they split again.
Laura took to social media on Father’s Day wearing a pink top and her hair styled in waves as she took a dig at her daughter’s dad. Posing with a slight smile and her thumb up, Laura wrote: “Cheers to the single mums that feel sh*t for their kids on Father’s Day.”
Gary revealed their split to The Sun in February 2023 when Laura was pregnant. He said: “I love Laura, but we are no longer together. My main drive as always, is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby.”
In 2024, Laura began a new relationship with footballer Clark Robertson, whom she had reportedly known for several years. They went Instagram official in October 2024 and recently moved in together.
Laura keeps her followers updated on her life as a mum on Instagram and recently received backlash for going on a romantic getaway with her new boyfriend, without her daughter. After sharing a bunch of loved-up snaps online, Laura swiftly hit back at the nasty online trolls who tried to guilt-trip her about her picture-perfect getaway.
Laura told her followers: “Just to clarify, I do not feel guilty at all for holidaying without my child. Neither should you! Bonnie and I have holidayed together a lot, and it’s pretty obvious I’m a lone parent and look after her myself. l 100% deserve as many breaks as I see fit.”
She said: “I truly worry about the children of the women judging online and spreading hate. Spend your time reading your child a book instead of trolling me.”
The former Love Island star added: “I’m also not afraid to say I know l am an unbelievable mother, so your trolling doesn’t affect me. It just makes me sad that my daughter is growing up in a world like this. I truly hope you heal.”
A source claimed to OK! that the online backlash has been deeply unpleasant for the mum, but she’s doing her best not to let it get under her skin. They said “Laura doesn’t feel she’s done anything wrong – apart from having a good time on holiday with her boyfriend, and sharing her posts, like many of us do.”
“She adores her daughter and is absolutely devoted to her. It’s horrible for her to read these comments – but she’s her own woman, she won’t let it stop her living her life or let it destroy her happiness.”
