A source told The Sun: ‘Obviously he is single and can do what he wants, but he and Lauren are still close and a lot of people in their circle thought they would get back together properly.
‘The thing that surprised her pals the most though is that Charles talks about their baby daughter Larose in his profile, saying his greatest strength is ‘having a daughter’, and he also lists his Instagram bio when asked to name what he has recently discovered about himself.
‘It very much feels like he is using the fact that he is a dad and a decent number of Instagram followers to attract women.’
A representative for Lauren declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail.
Despite their turbulent relationship, Lauren and Charles seemed to be back on track last year, when they were pictured enjoying a family getaway with daughter Larose.
However, at the time sources claimed that pals were concerned that Lauren was ‘planning a future’ with her ex.
The insiders claimed that they believe Lauren is considering having another baby with Larose’s father in the future.
They told The Sun: ‘The truth is, she does still have feelings for him and would love nothing more than to have another child with him in the not-too-distant future.

‘She isn’t putting a label on what their relationship status is, partly because she doesn’t want to be judged, but he is more than just her daughter’s dad.
‘They are closer than they have been in years, and there is still sexual chemistry between them.’
Last year Lauren opened up about the struggles she’s faced co-parenting with Charles.
Just three months after welcoming Larose in 2021, Lauren fell pregnant and was over the moon to become a mum for the second time.
She tragically gave birth to her stillborn daughter Lorena in 2022 after she was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck.
On the day of the funeral, Charles was accused of attacking Lauren and they split soon after.
Charles was then charged with assault and engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards Lauren, which he has denied.
The case was dropped after Lauren withdrew her support for the case, which resulted in a not guilty verdict.
