A Place In The Suns Laura Hamilton admits she was asked scary question after divorce

A Place In The Sun presenter Laura Hamilton has shared how difficult it was for her to go through a public divorce following her separation from Alex Goward in 2022

Laura Hamilton has opened up about the scary question people kept asking her after her divorce.

The A Place in the Sun host, 42, announced that she was separating from her ex-husband Alex Goward after nine years of marriage in 2022. The couple share two children together 10-year-old son Rocco and eight-year-old daughter Tahlia.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, the broadcaster confirmed that she is officially dating again. Over the past few months, the blonde bombshell has been linked to business CEO James Pettigrew, 44, who is in the process of divorcing his wife.

Following her divorce, Laura said that she doesnt feel like she failed at her marriage because of her two amazing children. However, the doting mum revealed that some people did question the couples decision to separate.

She told the publication about her fears of leaving her marriage at the age of 39, which she described as a scary time to be on her own. Laura told the outlet: Ive always been quite a strong and independent person.

I dont feel like I was starting again. I never really speak about why I separated, which I think is why theres this fascination about it.

It feels such a long time ago to me now, and Ive embraced where I am. The property expert tied the knot with Alex in the heart of Surry and their nuptials featured prominently in Hello Magazine at the time.

Since then, the star admitted she has massively learnt from having a public relationship. So much so that moving forward, she had vowed that her love life will remain private.

She told the publication: It wont be a secret people Im close to will know whats going on but it will be confidential. Just because youre in the public eye, it doesnt mean you have to have everything out there for everyone to see.

It comes after the mum-of-two addressed a series of weight loss rumours during her lavish trip to Croatia. The broadcaster has been delighting her loyal legion of fans with a series of sun-soaked snaps online since her trip began.

But last week, the presenter decided to speak directly to her followers after she noticed some concerning comments on her online posts. She began: Ive read a few comments about weight loss [online].

Yes, I have lost weight. Ive been following a healthy weight loss programme. Ive also been reading a few comments saying that Ive been using weight loss injections.

Nothing against anyone who has been using weight loss injections, but I havent been using them. And I really feel like people shouldnt just jump to conclusions and make presumptions about anything.

Laura then sat down and revealed that she has previously been branded being short, fat and stumpy. She explained: Ive actually been someone thats been criticised for being short, fat and stumpy.

Im only 5ft 2 so Ive been told I've got fat legs and now I'm getting told I'm too skinny. So, I feel like if you dont have anything positive to say, its probably best not to say anything at all and dont jump to conclusions.
