Ever since she burst onto our screens in a cloud of fake tan and vajazzle glitter way back in 2010 in the FIRST EVER series of The Only Way Is Essex, we've had a bit of a soft spot for Lauren Goodger.
As an original TOWIE cast member Lauren had her fair share of dramz, and her 10 year on-off relationship with Mark Wright ended for good on the show.
:((((
We recently saw a SASSY new Lozza when she came back to TOWIE to give Megan Mckenna some relationship advice after the whole Pete Wicks sexting scandal.
And now it seems Lauren has well and truly put the past behind her and is moving on with her new man. She even wants to have a baby next year!
Speaking to Closer, Lauren revealed she wanted to spend Christmas day with the new man in her life, Joey Morrison (she's only calling him a "close friend atm though, ;) ) – who is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence for burglary and drug dealing.
She told the magazine: "He's a beautiful person inside and out.
"I told him that I wanted to see him on Christmas and he said: 'No, don’t be silly!' But I said I'd definitely be there because I want to give him something to look forward to."
And it seems like Lauren also has a lot to look forward too, as she is keen to start a family.
Speaking about having a baby, she told Closer: "I'll have one next year. I want one right now. Hopefully I’ll have a little girl but if I have a boy first, it's fine because she'll have an older brother."
The reality TV star added: "I’m so excited about having a baby! There’ll be a LG baby range and everything."
AWWWWWW.
Imagine the little tiny Lauren Goodgers running around in full Essex glam.
We can't deal!
