That was fast! Claims emerge Lauren Phillips and Lachlan Spark had a ‘trial separation’ just TWO MONTHS after their December wedding… as it’s confirmed the couple has split
It was reported on Saturday that Lauren Phillips and husband of one year, Lachlan Spark had split after six years together.
And now, claims are emerging that there had been trouble in the couple’s marriage soon after they tied the knot in December 2017.
A source exclusively revealed to Daily Mail Australia on Sunday that Lauren and Lachlan had ‘started a trial separation in February to March this year’ – just two months after their lavish nuptials.

The insider added that there had been a ‘breach of trust’ that led to the trial separation and ultimately, the break up which allegedly occurred months ago.
The fresh claims come after The Herald Sun reported on Saturday that a representative for the 27-year-old confirmed the marriage is over.
Rumours have long been rife that all was not well between the high-profile pair.
Earlier this month, the TV presenter fuelled the whispers by failing to mention her husband while thanking her loved ones for their support ahead of her hip surgery.
Sharing a photograph of herself in a hospital bed in early December, the brunette beauty wrote a reflective note about ending the year.

‘Finishing off 2018 by putting my hip back together. Huge thanks to the team @stvincentsprivate for getting this emotional mess through the past few days,’ Lauren wrote in the caption.
The stunner explained that her doctor said she will be ready to bust a move by the end of 2019.
Lauren then went on to rave about her support system, writing: ‘Thanks for all the lovely messages and phone calls – I really do have the best mates in the world… Hurry up 2019.’
No ring on it: The pair were last seen together in April and Lauren had not been seen wearing her wedding and engagement rings recently
However, Lauren noticeably did not make mention to her husband Lachlan Spark.
She only wed her longtime beau in Flinders, Victoria, in December last year, but his absence from her social media in recent months has created speculation surrounding the status of their relationship.
Lachlan has not been seen on Lauren’s social media since April, when the pair took a Maldives holiday together.

Adding to the rumours, Lauren had not been seen wearing her wedding and engagement rings recently.
Meanwhile, Lachlan appears to have disappeared from social media altogether, disabling his own Instagram page, and his absence has not slipped unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Lauren’s representatives for comment.
