Lauren Goodger has made no secret of her rocky romance with on/off boyfriend Charles Drury after calling it quits last year.
And now Lauren – who is expecting her second daughter with the builder – is drawing a line under their relationship for good.
The couple were spotted putting on a united front on her Instagram Stories recently while attending a child’s birthday party, but a source told us the pair’s relationship is purely platonic.
“Lauren and Charlie are co-parenting at weekends,” our source said. “Sometimes he’ll pop in during the week and see Larose, but there’s no way they’ll get back together now.

“Too much has happened and Lauren doesn’t want to disrupt Larose’s life – that’s her priority.”
Former TOWIE star Lauren, 35, is due to welcome baby number two this summer. She and Charles, 24, are already parents to eight-month-old Larose.
They split in November after it emerged that the builder had slept with beauty therapist Amy Gilbert while they were previously on a break. Since then, they have been putting on a united front for the sake of Larose.
Lauren previously admitted she didn’t think their relationship was over for good. When asked whether she believed their most recent split would be their last, she told new: “Not really. It’s weird – men are weird.”
She continued: “[I have] more self-respect, because if you’re not treating me how I should be treated, then you’re not here. Who knows what’s going to happen next week, next month, but I just know you can’t come and go when children are involved.”
Lauren also admitted she was “really hurt” by Charles’s fling, but that her love for him “will never go”.
Amid the speculation over her relationship with the father of her children, Lauren is said to be feeling exhausted as she juggles motherhood with her pregnancy.
“She’s feeling tired because she’s got Larose and the pregnancy is tiring as well,” the source said.
“But she can’t wait to meet her baby girl in the summer.”
