Aussie influencer sparks split rumours after unfollowing boyfriend on Instagram just weeks after celebrating their daughter's first birthday
The travel blogger, known to her millions of followers as gypsea_lust, has noticeably unfollowed Liam on Instagram - and he appears to have returned the favour.
The pair, who are based in Bali, haven't been seen together on social media in recent months, prompting fans to speculate their relationship may be over.
It wouldn't be the first time the couple have parted ways.
They previously broke up around 18 months before announcing they were expecting their daughter, Lumae, in March last year.
At the time, Bullen addressed the break-up in an emotional Instagram post.
'I'm far from ready [to talk about this] but Liam and I are no longer together,' she told followers.
'I know the majority of you come from a place of loving and caring, but I'm reminded every time I open Instagram to see your messages,' she continued.
'I shared so much of my relationships so I know I somewhat owe an explanation.'
The couple reunited before the birth of their daughter, and celebrated little Lumae's first birthday just last month.
But their recent social media activity - or lack thereof - has led fans to question whether they've gone their separate ways once again.
Lauren has not publicly addressed the rumours.
She last made headlines in 2023 after being labelled 'tone deaf' for complaining about cancelled flights during a volcanic eruption in Bali.
Bullen had been living in Bali with Liam and their daughter Lumaé Rose.
They had organised a trip to Australia this week but were unable to travel as Jetstar and Virgin Australia cancelled all flights due to ash clouds from Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in Indonesia.
'Anyone have info on flight cancellations in Bali? I have a very important weekend in Australia,' she wrote.
'I need to get to Australia by Friday for my bestie's bachelorette. So I have to just wait and reassess tonight or tomorrow and then somehow wrangle a ticket because right now prices have rocketed to $2-3K a person economy.'
Fans slammed the influencer for her 'extremely tone deaf' post after it was re-shared to the Influencer Updates AU Instagram page.
Lauren has built a successful career off her curated travel content and dreamy lifestyle photos, but fans have noticed her personal life has taken a backseat online in recent months.
Bullen has been approached for comment.

But Chloe is yet to go official with Johnny. Given their tumultuous relationship history, the Newcastle beauty is considering her options before getting into a relationship again. A source said: "Chloe and Johnny are secretly seeing each other. "They're not officially back together but they have been hanging out a lot and meeting up without her family knowing. "This has been going on for a while. They've been in regular contact since they split in March. "They have had a very rocky relationship, so Chloe is not sure if she wants to give it another go. "But they've got good chemistry and struggle to stay away from each other or keep their hands off each other. "Only time will tell if they're going to get back together properly. "But in the meantime Chloe is enjoying being with Johnny and maintaining a flirty connection with him." Chloe's rep did not to reply after repeated requests for comment. Chloe Ferry goes braless as she risks wardrobe malfunction in see-through outfit for Ibiza night out after being spotted with Kieran Trippier Chloe and Johnny has been on and off since 2021, with the reality star previously calling it quits after accusing him of cheating – only to reunite months later. ON AND OFF Chloe and Johnny proved that they were very much back on last year after previously splitting. Before this, she dumped him after he was caught messaging other women behind her back. However, at the time she urged fans not to judge her change of heart, insisting that "there are a lot of things that people don't know". A source told The Sun in March that things were over again and that the Geordie Shore star had been telling friends it was 'over for good.' On her relationship, Chloe previously told The Sun: "It's going alright, it's like any relationship – there are ups and there's downs. "But it's going alright to be honest, we've just been to Thailand together, we've actually had a really good holiday to be honest. "If I'm still with him... because we're up and down, if we are still together after summer, I'm having one last wild summer and then we're going to start trying for babies." When asked if she now trusts him or if she's worried about history repeating itself, Chloe said: 'There were a lot of reasons, I'm not me making excuses for him, but there were a lot of things that people didn't know. "I do trust him now, obviously we do argue about it, I'm not just going to forget about it. "It's always there in the back of my mind and that's why we mainly argue a lot, because I always struggled with trusting someone because of the past I've had with my boyfriends from before. "But we are trying to learn to trust each other but things are going good to be honest.' In January this year, Chloe revealed why Johnny never appeared on Geordie Shore alongside her. She told The Sun: ''He wasn't involved in the series, and to be honest we have spoken about it and we think we might be filming again soon and I do have a boyfriend now. 'So I was going to bring him on but there was a situation with James and his partner and basically if that had happened to my partner I wouldn't be able to control myself.' Chloe added: 'If anyone speaks badly to my friends or my partner I just fly off the handle. 'So I am really back and forth about what to do, because if anyone spoke to my lad like that I'd kill them.' Chloe also said she likes to keep her relationships 'a little bit private' due to her last being very much in the public eye.

Among the sessions during the contest was a discussion around 17 potential, sustainable goals for the United Nations, a debate she described as "intense"."The whole experience has been so incredible," she added.

Gabrielle Union reveals husband Dwyane Wade's family was skeptical about their 10-year age-gap at first
Gabrielle Union has been happily married to Dwyane Wade for over 10 years - but it wasn't all smooth sailing when she first met his family. The actress, 52, opened up about her relationship to Dwyane, 42, on the IMO podcast this week, which is hosted by Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson. The Bring It On star said Dwyane's mother, Jolinda, and sister, Tragil - who is five years older than him - were skeptical of her when she first started dating him. 'When I first met his family, the older sisters who are closer in my age immediately got it good, we're good in the hood,' she recalled. 'But with Tragil, she's been the protector, she's been the watchdog, she's been the gatekeeper to keep him sane and to keep him doing everything he needs to do without interference from anybody,' she continued. 'And I'm like, but I'm not just anybody, I'm [going to be] his wife,' she said indignantly. Gabrielle explained that before she tied the knot with Dwyane, she thinks Tragil and his mother weren't sure of her intentions and were concerned about their 10-year age-gap. 'I think before I got to the wife stage, when we were [at] the very beginning, I think, [Tragil] and his mom were like, "What do you want? Who are you, you older lady?"' she admitted. The actress and producer (seen) said it took 'some years' to really earn her mother-in-law Jolinda and sister-in-law Tragil's trust and, but it eventually worked itself out The actress and producer said while it took 'some years' to really earn their trust so that they were all 'comfortable,' it eventually worked itself out. 'Now it's easy because we're all on the same side,' she said happily. 'So his mom, and his sister Tragil, we tend to all have the same complaints about the same things that we then want to take to him,' Gabrielle joked. The She's All That actress added that once Tragil got married, she understood the relationship between herself and Dwyane more. 'She was coming into a relationship where he'd been married before and he has kids,' she explained. 'And I was like, "Not so easy is it?"' 'You want that grace, you give that grace and eventually, you receive that grace,' Gabrielle added. Gabrielle and Dwyane have been together for over 15 years, initially meeting in 2007, two years before they started dating. The couple briefly broke up in early 2013, but reconciled and married in 2014. 'I think before I got to the wife stage, when we were [at] the very beginning, I think, [Tragil] and his mom were like, "What do you want? Who are you, you older lady?"' she admitted The ex-NBA star shares children Zaire, 22, and Zaya, 17, with ex-wife Siovaughn Funches, and son Xavier, 10, with ex Aja Metoyer, whom he fathered while he and Gabrielle were on a break. He and Gabrielle share one daughter Kaavia, who is six. Dwyane previously said the 'hardest' thing he ever had to do was tell Gabrielle he got another woman pregnant during their break. 'I couldn't sleep. I wasn't eating' from the stress of having to inform Gabrielle, he said in his doc D. Wade: Life Unexpected, according to Entertainment Tonight. 'I had a child with someone else and I had to tell her,' continued Dwyane. 'Hardest thing I've ever had to do is man up and tell Gabrielle Union that I've had a child with somebody else,' he revealed. 'When you hold something in that you know is going to come out and you have this information and you know it's gonna f**k somebody's life up, that you care about, that you love, if it don't hurt you, then you're not human.' 'Me and Gab just went through something that you never want to go through and we still came out of it,' said the sports star.
