According to a source, Laura Anderson continues to have a bad relationship with her ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy, who claims that she “makes it very difficult for everyone to see Bonnie,” their shared daughter.
One of the most toxic celebrity splits in recent years intensified last week when it emerged that Scottish reality star Laura Anderson had “bonded” with former partner Gary Lucy’s ex-wife over their “experiences”.
Now a source claims former Love Islander Laura and Natasha Gray are “joining forces” – and are totally unapologetic about it. “Laura and Natasha have bonded over their experiences with Gary and neither of them has anything nice to say,” claims our source. “They don’t see an issue with their friendship. Neither of them are with Gary any more so in their opinion it’s none of his business.”

Laura, 36, and former Hollyoaks star Gary, 43, split when she was pregnant with their daughter Bonnie, now two. It was rumoured he didn’t want to relocate to Scotland and live apart from his older children.
Despite a brief reconciliation, the two ended things peacefully and have since engaged in a heated exchange of words. Laura had previously criticized Gary for being a “deadbeat dad” and Gary for labeling her as a “narcissist.”
After 14 years of dating, Gary and Natasha split in 2018. Together, they have two sons and two daughters. She is now alleged to be Laura’s “rock.”
According to another source, Natasha allegedly spotted similarities between Laura’s situation and her own, and the pair have since called the soap star “worse than any baddie on TV.” They continued, claiming that Natasha “had a good idea of what Gary would do and how traumatizing it would be for Laura” as a result of her own experience.
The pair certainly seem to have each other’s backs. From one proud hardworking mother to another, writes Laura in a photo of Natasha and her children last week. Our beautiful babies are cherished as siblings. You have been and continue to be my rock. I’m in love with everyone, Bonnie and I.
But is it possible to truly have a friendship with an ex-partner? Friends like these can be “both healing and hazardous,” says Tina Wilson, the creator of the Wingman dating app.
Shared experience, on the positive side, causes instant empathy for both parties. When something is under the spotlight and plays out on social media, someone who has walked in your shoes can provide understanding and validation that others won’t be able to understand, says Tina. There is an incentive for the girls to be close to keep the family units as happy as possible because Gary’s children are involved on both sides.
There are also inherent difficulties, though. The dating expert warns against “old wounds or comparisons can resurface and insettle insecurities,” while blurred boundaries can cause questions about how much should be shared and where loyalty is found. It runs the risk of entangling both women in the past, frustrated, and reliving hurts if the connection is only rooted in anger and unhappiness.
She concludes that having a friendship with an ex’s ex only works if it involves mutual respect and strict boundaries. When done right, it can provide strength and solidarity, but it should always involve moving forward rather than dwelling on the past.
According to our source, Gary worries about what might come after this new friendship and is unsatisfied with it. The source claimed that while he isn’t happy that they are friends, he can’t communicate much with them. He worries that because he is the only thing they share, they are plotting against him. It’s uncomfortable in this way.
Laura responded angrily to Gary’s “narcissist” comment, in which he appeared to claim she “exploits” their daughter to stay “relevant”. On Instagram Stories, she shared what seemed to be a screenshot of her recent messages with Gary, showing she has him saved on her phone as Lucifer.
My ex-boyfriend calls me a Narc, according to Laura, “I discuss issues with the Child Maintenance System in the UK.” She continued, “I wake up to messages like this,” and continued, “Do not feel silenced by bullies.” I’m not the Narc.
Laura had previously publicly claimed in the past that Gary hadn’t seen Bonnie for a while and that she had celebrated a year with her 32-year-old Dundee football player boyfriend Clark Robertson. She added that “co-parenting and financial support didn’t exist,” making it clear that she had been forced to miss work and time with her child.
However, a source close to Gary told us that while he would prefer to have a relationship with Bonnie, he would also prefer to have one with his daughter, and that Laura has made it difficult for everyone to see her.
Sadly, based on these events, it’s unlikely that this depressing state of affairs will soon come to an end.
