In 2013, it was announced that the former couple had welcomed their first child, a son named Rocco. Two years later, in May 2015, Laura announced she had given birth to their second child, a daughter named Tahlia.

The former Dancing On Ice finalist occasionally posts pictures of her little ones on Instagram, including the adorable snap above. The picture sees mum Laura and Tahlia posing together as they enjoy a day out to see Cinderella at the theatre.
