Laura Hamilton rocked Instagram on Monday in a botanical print dress as she enjoyed a working holiday in Barcelona with her kids after finding love again.
The 42-year-old presenter of A Place In The Sun and her son Rocco, 9, and daughter Tahlia, 6, are enjoying their sunny holiday to the fullest.
Laura has two children, Alex Goward, her ex-husband and real estate agent, whom she married in 2012 and divorced in 2022.
To keep her 200,000 followers updated, the presenter captioned her holiday post: ‘I’m filming this week on the Costa Brava, near Barcelona, with my favourite little crew with me…’
The married businessman with whom Laura reportedly found love turned out not to be among the trio.

Not with the trio was the married businessman who Laura has found love with. In July, MailOnline reported that Laura has been dating CEO James Pettigrew, 44, (pictured) since January.
In July, MailOnline reported that Laura has been dating CEO James Pettigrew, 44, since January.
Sources close to the couple say James spends ‘all his time’ with Laura.
But the couple’s relationship has left James’ estranged wife “upset”, with a friend telling MailOnline that Jackie “didn’t know” her husband was dating Laura at the start of their relationship and is now going through a painful divorce.
Laura and James, who have two daughters with Jackie, were pictured laughing together at the Scottish FA Cup final in May, enjoying corporate tickets to the match between Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers.
In August, Laura told The sun‘s fantastic magazine: ‘I’m dating. I’m having fun. No, I don’t have the apps. I’ve been trying them for the last three years. I kept going Raya and thought, ‘This isn’t for me.’ I like meeting people naturally.’
The TV star also admitted that her fame often sparks conversation with her potential suitors.
She said, “People look at me and say, ‘I know you from somewhere…’ and then a conversation starts.”
But the TV presenter was surprised when a man she was on a date with asked her for real estate advice and had to tell him that wasn’t what she was there for.

The blonde beauty admitted that dating can be difficult as she is always abroad filming.
She then joked that she would actually have to have “a man in every country” before she would insist that monogamy is the only thing she would settle for.
Laura said, ‘Really, I should have a husband in every country. That would be a more interesting story. [laughs].
‘Oh, she’s got one in Ibiza, she’s got one in Ibiza, she’s got one in Mallorca. No, that’s not me.’
Since 2012, Laura has been a rotating presenter of the lifestyle series A Place In The Sun on Channel 4.
Her fame began in 2003 when she appeared in the popular children’s programme Fun Song Factory on CITV, alongside Aston Merrygold from JLS.
Laura also presented Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards and was in talks to present The X Factor’s mentoring programme The Xtra Factor.
Since becoming a firm favourite on A Place In The Sun, Laura has also appeared on Dancing On Ice, where she finished runner-up.
