Henshaw has been open about struggling with whether or not she wanted to have children.
She discussed the topic in her podcast series Do I Want Kids? last year and admitted her indecision was difficult.
'I felt ashamed about it,' she told ELLE magazine at the time.
'We live in this prenatal society, which basically means that in the society we live in, there is the assumption that we will have children.
'I blinked and all my friends went from talking about contraception to being pregnant or having kids. And I started to feel like, what is wrong with me?'
In 2023, Laura said she had become concerned about time 'running out' to start a family but was 'afraid to have a baby'.
'I may have checked off some "societal successes", but as I'm approaching my 31st birthday, the hardest thing I'm having to confront is the inescapable biological reality that my fertility is decreasing with age. And I know I'm not alone' she wrote in a column for Marie Claire.
It comes after Laura's husband Dalton revealed why he decided to take her last name after the pair tied the knot in 2021.
During an Instagram Q&A, one fan asked the Keep it Cleaner co-founder why he changed his surname.
'Why did Dalton change his last name?'
Laura then shared a video of Dalton explaining that he had always been open to the idea.
'The core reason why, is that it was always a conversation for me and it always has been,' he said.
'Nothing has ever been assumed as I was growing up, regardless of growing up in what would be a traditional woman taking the man's surname environment or family.'
He continued: 'In this case it was always a conversation and that lead to me taking Laura's name.'
Dalton also explained his choice after the couple's wedding in 2021.
He wrote on Instagram at the time: 'You can still call me Dalton, Dalt, Dolphin, whatever you like… I'm still the same me and always will be.
'I'm just going to sign off one chapter and start another with my beautiful, driven and inspirational wife by my side as Mr Henshaw.'
While Dalton's decision to break with tradition seems to be his way of expressing love and respect for his wife, he also hinted he didn't like his surname Graham.
