Lauren Goodger has confirmed she and Jake McLean aren’t together "at the moment".
The former ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star has spoken out to admit she and her on/off boyfriend are taking some time out from their relationship because they’re struggling with stress.
Lauren shared: "People have noticed that Jake and I have unfollowed each other on Instagram. To be completely honest, we’re not talking at the moment and haven’t done for about a week now. We haven’t had any major rows and nothing has actually happened, but we are both stressed out with our own lives and I seem to bear the brunt of it."
The 29-year-old beauty – who was previously engaged to her former co-star and long-term boyfriend Mark Wright – claimed one of the reasons they’re taking some time apart is because she wants to focus on herself.
She wrote in her column for new! magazine: "He’s not currently staying with me and I’m focusing on my training, my career and myself. Sometimes you just need five minutes out, and I’m so busy right now I haven’t had a chance to stop and give our situation any proper thought.
"Don’t get me wrong, it’s been horrible – but what I do know is that I can’t afford to have anything or anyone distract me from my focus, so for now I’m not letting you. I will get my head round it all in time and work out what I want but for the time being, I don’t have more to say on it than that."
