There’s been ongoing drama between former Love Island star Laura Anderson and EastEnders star Gary Lucy since announcing they’re expecting a baby together – then splitting just weeks later.
And fan speculation that the pair have been making cryptic digs at each other on social media was fuelled last week when Gary, 41, let slip that the exes are expecting a baby girl – something Laura hadn’t yet revealed. He posted a photo with the words “Daddy’s Little Girl” on Instagram, later writing, “Let's hope she inherits her Mummy's good looks."
And an insider tells Closer that Laura was put out by Gary’s revelation. The source says, “She was upset that he decided to announce they’re having a girl without discussing it. Obviously she’s pleased he’s excited at becoming a dad, but the way he’s gone about announcing things has really left her unimpressed.”
Laura met Gary on Celebs Go Dating last year and they began a whirlwind romance. However, only a few months later in January, split rumours began to circulate and it was confirmed that Laura had ended things hours after she announced her pregnancy in February.
Despite ongoing tension between them, sources say that Laura wants things to be amicable before the birth.
The insider adds, “Despite everything, Laura wants Gary to play a full role in bringing up their daughter and she wants to remain on friendly terms for the sake of their daughter. Getting stressed and angry won’t do her or the baby any good and she’s determined not to let anything upset her.”
