Forget Carrie Bradshaw (please actually do that), in our minds The Real Housewives of Cheshire's turned Celebrity Big Brother icon Lauren Simon is the ultimate single girl icon we all need to be taking notes from.
She's confident, she's honest, she knows who she is, and if you date her, you're joining her parade – she's not suddenly following yours. Goals, basically.
Since her very public divorce from Paul Simon in 2018 (after 15 years of marriage) Lauren has been dating in and around Cheshire, and we've even seen some of the lucky fellas on the RHOCheshire (remember the plumber who helped our Lauren, erm, "fix her pipes"?).
Anyway, Lauren and her iconic daughter Gigi recently took to TikTok to share a GRWM video ahead of Lauren's latest date night and revealed the secret to her indestructible eyeliner (a beauty look Lauren is well known for).
As it turns out, Lauren uses the very affordable NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Semi-Permanent Liquid Liner which you can buy on the high street for just under a tenner.
In the TikTok, Lauren told her followers "This stuff does not wear off" and "You can sleep in this", with her daughter calling it the product her mum's "war paint" - we've actually used this product and we can confirm the word is DURABLE.
Lauren then revealed her secret to getting a line to last throughout date night, adding, "The secret to getting a line to last is to dry it" with a hair dryer.
NYX/Amazon UKThe last time Closer Online reported on Lauren's love life was shortly after she was evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house in March 2024.
Lauren chose this hype time to hard launch her new boyfriend at the time on her Instagram grid and looked EXPENSIVE af while doing it.
Utter hun behaviour.
The Housewife hard launched her mystery boyfriend with a stunning couple snap, captioning the announcement photo, "Meet my boyfriend - he finally made it to the grid ❤️ #happyeverything."
While her new man-made several appearances on her socials (even one or two with Gigi and even Lauren's mum), Lauren later revealed she was single once again.
Lauren's turbulent love life has fuelled some of the RHOCheshire's biggest storylines over the years. The flirty, fiery and unfiltered Cheshire Housewife has been ALL of us at one time or another during her nine-year stint on the show and no doubt that's why she's the longest-reigning member of this fabulous cast.
