The insider alleged: “Laura has been dating James since January and they spend all their time together.
“While Laura has been single since splitting from her ex-husband, James is still married, and their relationship has caused his estranged wife Jackie a lot of hurt and upset.
“She was unaware of their romance in the early days and is now going through a painful divorce, with her priority being to protect her two daughters.”
Additionally, the source added Laura and James are “fully committed to each other and making this work long term”.

‘I’m a complete romantic’
In 2023, Laura shared how she had been enjoying some “great dates”.
However, she admitted the ‘chemistry’ hadn’t always worked out.
“Usually after two dates I know he isn’t my Prince Charming and then I don’t think it’s fair to waste anyone’s time,” she said.
Laura added: “I’m a complete romantic. For me, it’s all about chemistry and a genuine connection.”
