Shortly after Laura and Gary decided to end their relationship, Laura was left disappointed after the actor decided to reveal the sex of their baby without her consent.

“Let’s hope she inherits her mother’s looks. Can’t wait to meet you baby bear.”

However, a source close to Laura reportedly told The Mirror that she wasn’t best pleased with Gary’s decision to announce the news.
The insider said: “Gary announced the gender news without getting her consent. She’s really upset by this.”
Throughout her pregnancy journey, Laura continued to keep her fans updated.
On Tuesday (August 15), the blonde bombshell hinted to fans that she is almost ready to go into labour.
Sharing a snap of her blossoming baby bump, she captioned the pic: “Almost finished @blissfulbabyexpert1 while drinking my date smoothie which I’ve decided means I’m almost ready to be a mum.
“PS I am wearing pants you just can’t see them.”
Speaking out about why they previously split, Gary shared it was down to geography as Laura wanted him to move to her native Scotland so they could raise the baby together there.
He explained: “Laura did want me to move, but I have my responsibilities here. I have four kids and all the things that go along with that so it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to uproot at this time.”
The actor said he needs to remain in Essex where his children live after he and their mother divorced in 2018. “I wish I could break myself in half. I would if I could,” the Hollyoaks star told The Sun.
Gary also said that he loves Love Island star Laura “more than ever”, and was looking forward to co-parenting their child together before news of their surprise reunion broke.
