Laura Hamilton admitted that she was making an effort to see things more positively in the midst of her divorce from Alex Goward.
The 41-year-old TV personality said that life had been “difficult” after divorcing her husband of 13 years, but she insisted that she had to be “strong” for their two children, son Rocco, 9, and daughter Tahlia, 8.
But she acknowledged that she wanted to express her thoughts and not seem like a “robot.”
Laura told Hello! magazine: ‘You say content, but I have moments when I feel this is tough, this is hard, this is not what I expected my life to be.
‘But I’m a glass half-full person and I have to be positive. I have to be strong. Am I making the best of the situation as I can right now? Yes, 100 per cent.
‘But I do get sad because things went the way they did. I might look like everything is fine all the time and that’s how things come across on social media but no I’d be a robot if I didn’t have those emotions.
‘Do I let myself cry? Yes, all the time. And I encourage Rocco and Tahlia to always share their feelings. It is better to talk and let the emotions out than bottle up.’
The A Place in the Sun presenter said that she and her ex are “super proud” of their two children and that she is looking forward to spending more time with them before they mature.
She said: ‘I think I’m at the loveliest stage with them. They blow my mind. In a couple of years, I guess there’ll be more attitude and then the teenage years!
‘Tahlia is an amazing gymnast and Rocco loves going to football academy. They both enjoy school and Alex and I are super proud of them.’
The presenter called her former co-star on the Channel 4 property show Jonnie Irwin, 49, who was given the news that he had terminal lung cancer in 2020, “amazing,” and she mentioned that their coworker Jasmine Harman, 47, sent her updates on her health.
‘He is one of the most incredible people that I have met. Jas speaks to him regularly and she lets me know how he is doing,’ Laura said.
