Lauren and her family will look to regroup emotionally as Campbell continues his life as a kindergartener. Born in 2020, he is T.J. and Lauren's third child. Their first child, daughter Lyla, was born in 2014, and two years later, she was joined by her sister Leni. The three welcomed their youngest sibling, Lucy, in 2023.
