Lauren first appeared on Aussie television screens during season six of Married at First Sight Australia in 2019.
The then-31-year-old country girl was married to videographer Matthew Bennett during the experiment. Her groom's virginity dominated the pair's storyline throughout the season and whilst they had initial chemistry, the couple's relationship quickly soured.
Following the show, the couple made it clear in a number of social media posts and interviews that they were not on good terms and Matthew moved on with British girlfriend Annabelle, who he met before the show aired.
In November 2021, Matthew announced he had proposed to his girlfriend, taking to Instagram to share the news.
"She said "YES!" 🥰🥰🥰," he wrote. "It took me long enough to ask, but @belajameson you are the best thing that ever happened to me and I'm excited for our life together."
