Lauren Goodger and Charles Drury are reportedly spending their nights sleeping under the same roof again as they prepare to welcome their second child amid their on-off romance.
The 35-year-old former The Only Way Is Essex star and her 24-year-old semi-professional footballer lover have endured a dramatic romance over the past two years.
And while all looked like it was going well when they welcomed their baby daughter, Larose, last July, the pair split soon after and things have been on-off ever since – with Lauren revealing she is pregnant again at the beginning of this year.
Signs indicate that Lauren and Charles are rebuilding their romance as they were recently spotted out at an event together earlier this month – and now reports have emerged to suggest the duo are spending nights together.
A source told new! magazine: “Lauren and Charles are continuing to co-parent their daughter. Charlie is there at the weekends and occasionally a night during the week to support Lauren and see Larose.
“He stays over at Lauren’s house in Essex, as he’s currently living elsewhere – but they sleep in separate beds, of course.”
The source goes on to suggest Charles has been a true help to Lauren as she balances her current pregnancy with caring for her infant daughter – as well as running her business.
They said: “Lauren is finding it really full-on because she’s still breastfeeding Larose throughout the night, so she isn’t getting much sleep.
“She’s up at 5am every day and feels tired all the time. She’s feeling the strain but coping well. Work is busy for her at the moment, too. It’s a challenging time.”
The source also claimed that Lauren is so busy she hasn’t really had time to really “overthink” her current pregnancy with baby number two just a few months away from arriving.
News of Charles staying over at Lauren’s house comes just a week after the ex-Towie star had seemingly ruled out a full scale reunion.
A source previously said: "Sometimes he'll pop in during the week and see Larose, but there's no way they'll get back together now.
"Too much has happened and Lauren doesn't want to disrupt Larose's life - that's her priority."
Lauren and Charles’ complicated romance story appeared to come to a permanent end in January after the builder confessed he had slept with another woman.
However, his dalliance had occurred while he and Lauren had already split – raising hopes that his actions could be forgiven.
The pari had gone their separate ways just four months after Larose had arrived – leaving fans shocked and surprised when Lauren dutifully revealed in January this year that she was expecting her second child with Charles already.
