Lauren Goodger and Joey Morrison split earlier this year
It was only the other day that we were all left wondering whether Lauren Goodger had reunited with her ex-boyfriend Joey Morrison but now it's come to light that the reality star has no plans on a reunion.
The couple, who had been dating for a year and a half, mutually decided to split after Lauren admitted she "couldn't wait anymore" while he continues to serve his prison sentence.
After the former TOWIE star shared a photo of herself alongside Joey's pregnant sister and referred to herself as "auntie" it looked like she could have reunited with her ex but now a source has denied any speculation.

They explained to The Sun: "Lauren has not got back with her ex – and she has no intention of doing so anytime soon.
"She has moved on from Joey for good but is still close friends with his sister and always has been."
They added: "The word ‘auntie’ was used to be affectionate – most of her friend’s children call her that."
After photos emerged of Lauren leaving a club with another man back in summer, the 31-year-old confirmed she had separated from her boyfriend. She explained on Instagram: "My antics out and about recently are because I am single and enjoying myself with my friends.
"Joey will be home in not too long hopefully and I will see him as we've been through this last year and half together and have a friendship and respect for each other."
She added: "He's helped me a lot just as I've been there for him so of course we'll remain friends."
The star then emotionally broke down on Loose Women and admitted that following her split she's going to concentrate on her career.
