Following her husband’s devastating diagnosis amid his cancer battle, Lorraine Luxe has stated that she is now facing the bitter truth that she will become a widow before she even approaches her 50s.
Lorna Luxe has opened up about the terrifying reality that she is now facing following her husband John’s terminal cancer diagnosis.
After his devastating prognosis, the 43-year-old social media star’s husband, who is 21 years her senior, revealed regrettably that she will end up being a widow in her 40s.
Her husband John Andrews is battling stage four adrenal cancer after he was diagnosed in April 2023 – and she says he has remained positive despite the huge mountains he has had to climb since.
Earlier this month, Lorna revealed to her 1.6 million followers that the former banker John’s cancer had spread and that sadly, treatment was ‘no longer an option’.

The pair were delighted when they learned that John’s cancer had entered remission in November 2023 and had been keeping their followers informed throughout his treatment.
But tragically, his cancer came back in May 2024 and has now spread to his brain, leading to a hospital dash before Christmas when John went into organ failure – following a complication with his chemo and a bout of sepsis, which can be fatal.
Despite being told to “prepare for the worst,” Lorna still delivered John just in time to celebrate the holiday season together. We don’t know how long John will be able to work, so we’re running a million miles an hour, she said, adding, “It’s been quite frightening.” We are aware of our own timeline.
She also revealed in the chat that the couple have been making the most of each day they have together. She said, “I don’t have long-term plans.” Fundamentally, I’m likely to pass away at the end of my 40s, which is a bit frightening for women.
Following her husband’s scary admission to hospital in December, she confessed that he had told her they needed to get their ‘ducks in a row’ financially, but she also said, ‘we certainly aren’t discussing funerals or anything like that, though. We are just not in that space’.
The businesswoman also explained why they had decided not to start a family together and explained how the pair defrauded some £300k in debt to launch her now-profitable brand.
The pair, who reside in Warwickshire’s famous £2.5 million Ghost House, spent the money on designer clothing and travels in the wake of their convictions back in the summer of 201.
Although Lorna acknowledged that she attempted to conceive when she was in her 20s but was unsuccessful, and that she has since concentrated on establishing a career, the couple has also chosen not to have children.
She admitted, “I did think recently, “What if?” – and it was actually said to me, “You can still do it.” However, it’s more about how those things would fit into my life than what I can do or want.
“I’m going through so much with John that having a baby would seem selfish, especially if I didn’t have him around.”
Now able to command up to £80k for one brand deal, Lorna – who previously said her husband’s dedication to her career was the key to her success – admitted that if it all fell apart tomorrow, she could find herself in financial straits.
Lorna has poured the £600k profits from her successful L. A. campaign, despite the fact that she claims she is “essentially skint.” In the future, Space brand plans to expand into the beauty sector.
