Lauren London: 5 Ways She Balances the Celebrity and Motherhood Lifestyle

Lauren London is a great example of finding the work and motherhood balance.

Although she is known for acting roles in movies like “ATL” and “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” there are more things to love about her. From staying humble to being a positive influence on her fans, it is no wonder why her boyfriend Nipsey Hussle has called her his “muse” for the past four years.

To celebrate her personhood, ENTITY’s compiled a list of the five reasons Lauren London is not just an awesome celebrity but an awesome mom too.

5 She respects the fathers of her children and has good relationships with them.

Son #1: Cameron Carter
Age: 7
Father: Lil’ Wayne

“People see the ‘Lil’ Wayne’ persona and think they know who he really is,” Lauren London has said. “My son’s father is an intelligent, loving and lovable person who will always be a dear friend. That is all.”

Son #2: Kross Asghedom
Age: 10 months
Father: Nipsey Hussle

“Happy Father’s Day my love,” the “ATL” actress said to her longtime partner on Instagram. Sure, greeting someone on the ‘gram isn’t really the epitome of respect. But, at least through this we can get an idea of how she celebrates him as the father of their child.

4 This star keeps it classy on social media.

Lauren London is not on the trend of posting Instagram pics of her butt or showing off her cleavage. Instead, her selfies are of her cute face.

And when they are of her body, she is dressed modestly. While we’re not saying women like Amber Rose, who posted a bottomless picture for feminism, are bad mothers, we are saying that we can appreciate Lauren’s style. Why? It’s a style that stays true to her personality – one that isn’t afraid to be reserved.

3 Lauren London embraces her post-baby bod and battles body-shamers.

After delivering her second child, online commenters criticized the actress for going out in public before shedding her post-pregnancy weight.

And she definitely clapped back.

London said she received compliments on her looks for years on social media.

“I NEVER let it ‘gas me’ because I knew the enduring value in all things is internal. When I decided to have my son, I knew the internet would be cruel,” she wrote on Instagram. “I knew the casting directors would consider me out of commission for at least a year. I knew that MY BODY would change, but I did not let the fear of these things affect me to the point of going against my spirit.”

2 She is a positive role model.

She has some good advice for teenage girls who think their boyfriend is the love of their life:

• “I was 16 and got my boyfriend’s name tattooed on me. Don’t do it. ‘Cause it hurts. The moment you do it, the next month, the next year, you’ll be broken up – trust me – and cover-ups hurt. You can show your love in other ways. Ink is not it. Write it on a piece of paper and mail it to him.”

And she encourages women to take time for self-discovery:

• “People should accept being single because those are the moments you can really focus on yourself and learning who you are. Then when you get in a relationship, you will be stronger and have a little bit more self-awareness, self-love, and the other ingredients for a healthy relationship.”

Despite being bullied for being half white and half black, she embraces her identity and encourages others to do the same:

• “I’m the little half-black, half-Jewish girl who was odd and awkward. I try to be myself.”
• “Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.”

This is one star who is not making her fame off of documenting her every waking second on social media. Lauren London keeps her business to herself.

When it comes to relationships with her boyfriends, she keeps the details between her and her partner private. In interviews, she stays quiet as well. To top that off, her fans didn’t see a picture of her older son for years. And when it comes to her younger son, the picture she posted when he was born was just of his little hand.

Thank you Lauren London for spreading a positive message of embracing yourself and keeping things private and humble. We love you, girl!
