Lauren Goodger, the 38-year-old reality TV star known for her role on The Only Way Is Essex, has recently opened up about her eye-watering earnings from OnlyFans and her upcoming surgery plans. Best known for her candid personality and alluring social media presence, Goodger has discussed both her financial success and personal struggles, painting a complete picture of her life choices.
Initially rising to fame on TOWIE, Goodger has managed to leverage her reality star status to secure significant income outside traditional television appearances. Lauren revealed she made approximately £30,000 per month during her peak on OnlyFans, leading to impressive yearly earnings close to £360,000. "It’s a really good way to earn money," she shared, emphasizing how the platform provided financial stability before she took time away to focus on motherhood.
Goodger became pregnant with her first daughter, Larose, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Charles Drury, and later sadly lost her second daughter, Lorena, just two days after birth. These experiences have shaped her current perspective on life, relationships, and self-image.
Reflecting on her experiences, Lauren has decided to take drastic steps toward reclaiming her body and aesthetic. She plans to have her breast implants removed and undergo reconstruction and uplift procedures, marking ten years since she first opted for breast enlargement, which changed her from a 34D to an E cup. During her candid interviews, Goodger expressed her desire for her body to reflect her natural self, stating, "I don’t want any silicone in my body – I don’t want anything fake."
She also mentioned the physical discomfort her implants caused, struggling with breathing and clothing fit. The star confessed, "It’s not healthy to have these big plastic things sitting on top of your lungs. I can't get any bras or dresses to fit me. They're absolutely massive." This surgery is as much about health for Lauren as it is about aesthetics, aiming to improve her overall well-being rather than just altering her appearance.
Goodger's dedication to embracing her change also reflects her hopes for the future. "I want to grow old gracefully and maybe even meet someone special," she confided. This longing for love and companionship seems to intertwine with her choices to alter her body. After her separation from Drury, she noted the impact her self-image has on her romantic life, stating, "If I was to sleep with someone now, I’d have to keep a bra on. That’s probably why I’ve not been with anyone. I don’t want anyone to see me like this." Despite the sadness of her recent experiences, Lauren is hopeful and resolved to focus on her well-being as she enters this new chapter.
With other surgeries from her past, like the Brazilian Butt Lift she underwent in Turkey, Goodger has issued warnings to younger generations on the impact of cosmetic procedures. She hopes her daughter will see health as more important than vanity, insisting she doesn’t want her to follow the same path of invasive procedures. "I don’t want her to change anything," she reflected, wishing her choices wouldn't lead her daughter to similar outcomes.
Beyond her surgical plans, Goodger is also contemplating her return to OnlyFans. After taking time off, she feels ready to jump back onto the platform, hoping her transformation will attract more subscribers. "I can still do sexy pictures and I will look even more appealing," she stated enthusiastically. Despite the dramatic changes, she remains savvy, stating, "It's still a really good way to earn money."
Goodger's forthcoming surgery, which includes nipple repositioning and other reconstructive elements, is set for early next year. While she feels anxiety about the procedure, she’s also aware of the potential boost it could give her confidence. "I'm terrified, but I know once it's done, I’m going to feel so much more confident," she admitted, noting the difficulty of not being able to drive or lift during recovery as she juggles life as a single mother.
Lauren Goodger's story is one of resilience, determination, and openness. She continues to navigate the complex terrain of motherhood, self-identity, and personal growth. After enduring significant personal losses and reflections on her appearance, she aims to take control of her life and body for the future, aspiring to embrace her natural self wholeheartedly. With upcoming surgeries on the horizon and hopes for revitalizing her online persona, Goodger is determined to make 2025 her year.
