Lauren and Simon married in 2017 after dating for six years.
The pair met on a Wiggles tour, with Lauren playing several iconic characters in the iconic children’s performances – Wags the Dog, Dorothy the Dinosaur and the Octopus.
Simon is clearly smitten with his wife, with the pair sharing some beautiful pictures from their wedding ceremony back in January 2017 with Woman’s Day.
Lauren said her husband was the “greatest human ever in her life” during the nuptials, explaining he has an “incredibly kind heart.”
We can’t wait for these two to start their next parenting chapter together. Congratulations!
