‘You’re the most amazing dad, I admire you more and more each day for everything you do for these boys,’ Lauren wrote.
The blonde beauty shared another candid snap of herself walking hand-in-hand with Jimmy, along with a love heart emoji.
In a another post, Lauren also admitted she was “content and couldn’t be happier”, even though she hadn’t confirmed her relationship with Jimmy at the time.
