In a surprise announcement that has delighted fans and followers alike, Australian influencer Lauren Bullen, who is popularly known by her Instagram handle "Gypsy Lust," has revealed she is expecting her first child with French partner Liam. This joyous news comes a year and a half after the couple had publicly separated, which adds an intriguing twist to their evolving relationship.
On Sunday, Bullen shared her excitement with her two million followers through a heartfelt photo carousel showcasing her baby bump and her partner by her side. "LB 3.0 🤍👼🏼," the 30-year-old captioned the post, indicating the couple’s renewed connection and the joy that comes with impending parenthood. The post quickly garnered a flurry of supportive comments from fellow Australian influencers, such as Em Davies and Steph Claire Smith, who both expressed heartfelt congratulations.
The couple’s romance has had its ups and downs. In August 2022, Bullen announced their split, stating, "I’m far from ready (to talk about this) but Liam and I are no longer together." This followed nearly a year of dating, which began in the summer of 2021 during a romantic European getaway. Bullen’s candidness about her personal life struck a chord with many of her followers, who had been invested in her journey.
Despite the breakup, Bullen has managed to keep most of her romantic life private in the months that followed, providing only occasional hints on social media that suggested she and Liam were potentially rekindling their romance. This sudden news of pregnancy undoubtedly brings new excitement for Bullen, her fans, and the influencer community at large.
Before her relationship with Liam, Bullen gained considerable fame for her travel escapades and lifestyle posts. In 2019, she made headlines for building a million-dollar mansion in Bali with her previous partner, fellow influencer Jack Morris. Their five-year relationship ended amid speculation when they ceased appearing in one another’s social media posts.
As Bullen embarks on this new chapter of her life, fans eagerly await further updates on her pregnancy journey and any insights she may share about becoming a mother. Her ability to connect with audiences through authenticity and relatability remains a key component of her popularity.
In a world where influencer culture often glamourizes every aspect of life, Bullen's decision to share the ups and downs of her romance may inspire others navigating similar paths. Followers have rallied around her through the twists and turns, proving that connection and support can thrive even in the ever-changing landscape of social media. This announcement marks a significant moment, not just for Bullen and Liam but also for the influencer community that they represent, embodying resilience and hope in personal relationships.
