Personal Life
Lauren Gold grew up in Hertfordshire, England, with her mother Valerie, a former model, father Warren, her brother James, and her sister Francesca. Growing up, Gold was in awe of her mother, a top model in the 1960s, whose pictures adorned their house. As early as age two, she was "obsessed with dressing up" and posing in front of the camera. At age 13, Gold's mother submitted her along with her siblings' pictures to modelling agencies. However, Gold was the only one who wanted to pursue modelling as a career. When Gold was a teenager, she attended an all-girls school, which was very strict about her grades and attendance. She was given time off school to pursue her modelling, with the proviso that she keep her grades up. Much of her initial modelling work was during her school holidays.
Throughout Gold's modelling career, her love life has been chronicled by the tabloids despite her keeping a relatively low profile. In her early career, she allegedly dated Westlife singer Mark Feehily in 1999. The pair kept a low profile due to his boy band status, with the exception of attending the Coyote Ugly premiere together. Several years after the breakup, Feehily came out of the closet. In 2000, the model was linked to her "Rock DJ" co-star Robbie Williams. Although there was much speculation of a romance with Williams, Gold has never admitted to a fling with him, but said at the time that she loved his body.
In April 2004, she was pictured out to lunch with footballer Fredrik Ljungberg. The Sun reported that the two were seen having romantic dinners and walks on the beach. In the summer of 2004, the pair were also spotted in Ljungberg's hometown of Halmstad, Sweden, as well as Båstad, Sweden, where Ljungberg and his family would spend their summers. Neither Gold or Ljungberg ever confirmed their relationship.
In 2006, tabloids speculated that Gold had dated Dream Team co-star Robert Kazinsky, after he published a series of love poems. There was also some speculation that she and Ziggy Lichman of Big Brother fame were once an item. Lichman's friends claim that the two enjoyed a two-year romance.
In 2011, Lauren Gold married film director and producer Gabe Turner.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Samuel Sewall, in a world of wigs,
Flouted opinion in his personal hair;
For foppery he gave not any figs,
But in his right and honor took the air.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
“There was a heavy power in her eyes which laid hold of his whole being, as if he had drunk some powerful drug. He had been feeling weak and done before. Now the life came back into him, he felt delivered from his own fretted, daily self.”
