Lauren and her ex<\/a>, Dan, were still texting while she filmed Love Is Blind, a source has claimed. However, it’s not what you think, because it’s been cleared up they were only ever strictly casual, and that Lauren was messaging the former fling to tell him that word had got back to Dave<\/a>, thanks to their mutual friend.<\/p>\n

Lauren was ‘texting her ex’ during Love Is Blind<\/h2>\n

Lauren was messaging her ex (who she was never in an official relationship with) on the way to Love Is Blind. She allegedly messaged Dan on February 4, 2024, to say she’s “on the bus going to the pods” and felt “a little bit nervous,” but it was “good vibes with the other girls there.” So, basically, he was fully aware of the entire experiment.<\/p>\n

The source exclusively told Reality Shrine how she told her ex they’ll “chat soon” and would film for two weeks, to which Dan joked that he “hopes the bus breaks down.” A couple of weeks later, on February 24, Dave had arrived back from a ski trip when he received a message from Lauren, who reportedly said it had been “an insane 24 hours.”<\/p>\n

They said, “Lauren arrived from their engagement-moon with the other cast and production to move into Dan’s apartment building at the exact same time. At the point they moved into his apartment, Dave and Lauren were engaged.” She allegedly text the ex to say, “I can text you but we’re still filming over the next two days, so we can arrange to speak. To say it’s been a lot is an understatement.”<\/p>\n

As per the source, her ex told Lauren, “I want to be extra clear. I agree our relationship was pretty casual and that’s how I’d generally describe it. We were never in a full-on relationship and never talked about you not going on the show.” They had agreed to keep things casual between them because they met after she was first chosen for the series.<\/p>\n

She was only ever ‘casual’ with the former fling<\/h2>\n
