In the years that followed, she spoke publicly about the incident and eventually began sharing her love for lifestyle and fashion content with her followers. She has since amassed 362k followers on Instagram. The new mother is also the founder of The Stranded Shop, The LSK Foundation, and The Clean Sweep.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lauren Scruggs has a net worth of $1 million. She mostly makes her fortune through her companies and also brand sponsorships that feature on her Instagram profile. Scruggs has bagged major collaborations with companies like Walmart, Tejari, Bobbie, etc.

The two have been open about Scruggs' fertility struggles in the past. When they finally got pregnant, they shared a hilarious video on Instagram announcing to the world that they were expecting. Speaking of her pregnancy journey, the fashion blogger told People:
“It's always tough when a doctor tells you you can't have kids naturally and you keep running into complications, but we didn't sit and wallow in that. We were really blessed to meet with some amazing doctors and specialists.”
The new mother also shared that having “four alarms to set every day for months taking medicine” was the hardest part of her journey, but they now have an “overall sense of peace because of their faith in God” and their family and friends who supported them through their journey in becoming parents.
