Natasha Lucy and Laura Anderson Bond Over 'Shared Trauma' in Gary Lucy Feud
Ex-wife and reality star form support link as public dispute with actor unfolds
Gary Lucy’s ex-wife Natasha Lucy has reportedly formed an alliance with Laura Anderson amid the Hollyoaks actor’s ongoing public feud with the former Love Island star. Sources say the two women have bonded over what they describe as “shared trauma,” and they have begun to align themselves against what they view as Gary’s behavior, with Natasha and Laura reportedly branding him “worse than any baddie on TV.”
Laura Anderson, 36, shares a 23-month-old daughter, Bonnie, with Gary Lucy, 43. The couple split during Bonnie’s pregnancy after 14 years of marriage and briefly reconciled after her birth before separating for good. Since then, their relationship has been strained publicly, with Laura accusing Gary of not seeing their daughter for several months; Gary has countered that Laura exploits their child to stay in the spotlight. The Sun reported the two women’ s growing bond as part of the ongoing dispute.
According to The Sun, Natasha immediately reached out to Laura and has since offered support, with observers noting the pair appear focused on preventing their children from becoming strangers despite the adults’ disagreements. A source described the two women as recognizing parallels between their own experiences and working to stand together for their families’ sake, saying they believe they have suffered in similar ways through the high-profile dispute.
Laura publicly acknowledged Natasha’s support on social media, posting a message of solidarity that said, in effect, she was proud to stand with Natasha as a mother whose children are siblings. In return, Laura has shown affection for Natasha and her family, calling her a rock and emphasizing their shared commitment to their children’s well-being. The exchanges have taken place against a backdrop of ongoing social-media exchanges between Laura and Gary, including Laura revealing that Gary is saved in her phone as “Lucifer.”
The public back-and-forth has featured sharp exchanges over parenting and financial matters. Gary has posted criticisms of Laura, including a claim that she uses their daughter to maintain relevance, while Laura has pushed back with messages she says reveal the strain of co-parenting without consistent financial support. In one widely cited post, Gary quoted a line about narcissists using children as leverage, while accusing Laura of exposing themselves to scrutiny on social media. Laura has responded by highlighting the challenges single parents face under the UK Child Maintenance System and other financial considerations, posting questions about CMS fairness for single and co-parents.
Representatives for Gary Lucy and Laura Anderson did not immediately comment when contacted by press outlets. The ongoing dispute remains highly visible in entertainment media, with Natasha’s and Laura’s alliance adding a new dimension to the public airing of grievances between former partners and the actor at the center of the feud.
