Lauren Goodger is "having doubts" about her relationship with jailbird Joey Morrison.
Just weeks after Lauren, 30, and Joey – who is currently behind bars for possession of a firearm, kidnap, blackmail, actual bodily harm and aggravated burglary – had a blazing row, she admitted she is unsure about their future together.
Her spokesperson told MailOnline: "Lauren and Joey haven’t officially broken up, but Lauren is questioning her relationship and having doubts.
"It’s not easy being with someone who is in prison especially with all the scrutiny and speculation.
"She loves Joey deeply but she needs time to work out if this relationship has legs and whether it will all be worth it in the end."
Joey has been locked up since 2008 but he’s expected to be released sometime next year, and Lauren previously vowed to stick by him so that they can start a family of their own when he’s finally free.
She said recently: "I’d like it to happen. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I want a baby and the sooner the better. I’ve been celibate for a year, so It will be amazing to spend some time with him on our own. Maybe cook some dinner together, spend the night together. Do normal things that we haven’t been able to do."
However, things have been strained since the pair got into a war of words a few weeks ago.
A source said: "Lauren and Joey had a furious argument and they came close to breaking up. They aren’t in a good place right now. Lauren is madly in love with Joey but their circumstances make it incredibly frustrating.
"What would have been a normal argument for another couple turned into a blazing row. It wasn’t pretty and she made it clear how unhappy she was about what was going on between them."
