Lauren Phillips’ ex-husband Lachlan Spark has taken a cheeky swipe at their failed marriage on Valentine’s Day.
The TV producer, who runs his own creative agency, is now in a relationship and engaged to Courtney Wynbergen but continues to throw shade at his ex-wife Lauren, 37.
Lachlan shared some of his and Lauren’s divorce papers on Instagram on Wednesday to celebrate the split.
‘Bigamy is officially ruled out!’ he wrote next to the document. “Maybe it would have been worth looking into this before dealing with it afterwards.”
He then added: “Happy Valentine’s Day” and tagged his new love.

Lauren split from Lachlan Spark in 2018 after just one year of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in December 2021.
The couple dated for six years before tying the knot on the Mornington Peninsula in 2017.
After their split, Lachlan accused Lauren of ‘caring more about herself’ than their relationship, saying he was ‘wasting’ years of his life with the wrong person.
“A while ago I married a girl who cared way more about herself and how she was perceived than about me,” he said in 2020.

‘It was way… too much actually. I left and despite losing almost every friend I’d found in seven years (and a few other ‘best friends’ for good measure) in an instant, it was the best thing I ever did.”
“As I approached forty, I was more than a little nervous. I had wasted a lot of my life with the wrong person and there was a good chance I wouldn’t find anyone willing (or able) to give me the love I knew I had.” deserved,” he continued.
He then took another swipe at his ex, saying, “I truly believed there was more to a relationship (and life) than superficial friends, free vacations, and Instagram followers — I just had to find it.”
Lachlan said he met his new girlfriend Courtney through ‘pure, dumb luck’.

“I met this girl and my world changed,” he wrote.

In 2021, she relented KIIS 101.1’s Jase & Lauren in the morning the relationship ended badly after she “sacrificed her own health” in an attempt to make things work.

‘It didn’t end well. When you’re an adult, it’s not a difficult exit; it was a very slow and lengthy decomposition process. We were together for seven years,” Lauren said.
‘We decided to buy a house, renovate a house, start a new business and get married at the same time, so there was this huge pressure bubble that we had put ourselves into, and a whole host of other issues came into play. ‘
Lauren continued: ‘That broke me down very quickly, but I was determined to try everything I could and that ultimately meant sacrificing my own health, which is why I almost had a nervous breakdown.’
She went on to say she was “proud” of the way she handled the split – in what may have been a subtle swipe at Lachlan for publicly criticizing her after their split.
