She, like Mike, was born in New Jersey, which is where the couple currently resides. Lauren and Mike first met in college where they dated for the first time. They later went their own ways as Mike entered the world of reality tv before later reuniting after Jersey Shore came to an end. When the two first got back together, Lauren was working as a real estate agent near their hometown in New Jersey. Around 2016, Lauren promoted her real estate career on her public Facebook page.
