Lauren has spoken about her family’s bond

Lauren shares Mack and older son Fergus, 18, with her DJ husband, Graeme Fisher. She has previously discussed their close bond while reflecting on her cancer diagnosis.

In a June 2026 interview with HELLO!, Lauren said her children had been brave and loving. She explained that the experience brought the family closer and encouraged honest, age-appropriate conversations at home.

Lauren also said her children surprised her with their strength and resilience during an exceptionally difficult period.

She announced her cancer diagnosis in August 2024 and said she received the all-clear that November. In July 2026, Lauren disclosed a separate diagnosis of smouldering myeloma.

She described it as an asymptomatic blood and bone marrow disorder requiring careful monitoring. Lauren said her own risk of it developing into blood cancer was low.

She added that she felt well and did not need treatment at that stage.
