Lauren Silvers made a name for herself in the late 2010s when she appeared on Shark Tank with her innovative ‘Uber-style’ beauty application business, Glamazon.
But since she and her business partner, Lisa Maree Boersma, sold the company in 2020, the eastern suburbs socialite almost completely dropped off the map – until now.
The entrepreneur resurfaced over the weekend at kinesiologist Harriet Williams‘ 35th birthday party – and she had quite the surprise to share with guests.
Lauren’s pregnant – but the identity of the father is not known outside her inner circle, which isn’t surprising given she keeps her cards close to her chest these days.
She was previously married to Jack Warwick, whom she wed in early November 2019 in an outdoor ceremony in Kangaroo Valley.
But Lauren and Jack later went their separate ways – exactly when is unclear – and social media posts indicate she is now in a new relationship.

Lauren, who now sells start-up courses, looked every inch the glowing mother-to-be in photos first shared to Instagram last Sunday.
Photos from Harriet’s big day show Lauren flaunting her late-trimester baby bump in a one-shouldered white gown with her dark hair swept into an artful updo.
Lauren, who appeared to attend the celebration without a new partner, kept her beauty look understated with a slick of nude lipstick and a touch of mascara.
She first made headlines in 2017 after pitching the concept for Glamazon on the investment-earning TV series Shark Tank Australia alongside business partner Lisa.
Soon after their appearance on the show, the pair raised $1.2million in seed capital and rapidly grew their business to more than 10,000 customers.
Glamazon was pitched as an ‘Uber-style’ beauty application where users could have beauty specialists come to their home to perform hair and makeup services.
The business had famously humble beginnings, with Lauren previously admitting she used basic Microsoft Office tools to pitch and shape the brand.
‘When I first started Glamazon, I created a sales pitch to salons on PowerPoint (which I also used to create a logo), and used Google Sheets to document the available appointments at my first 10 salons,’ she said in a 2018 interview.

‘I spent $1,200 on a basic-looking website and invited 200 women to partake in a beta testing group via Facebook,’ she added.
‘This led me to generate $3,000 for salons in a two-week period, which was enough proof of concept to start a business plan.’
The venture made Lauren a big name in the world of Australian start-ups.
But her association with Glamazon ended just a few years later when she sold the company to Indian home-services platform Urban Company – formerly Urban Clap – in early 2020 for an undisclosed amount.
Following the sale, the co-founders took different paths.
Lisa moved to the United States to pursue other career opportunities, while Lauren went on to marry her then-partner Jack just months later.

It is unclear when Jack and Lauren ended their marriage. Both their Instagrams are set to private.
However, a look at their old Facebook accounts provides some pieces of the puzzle.
Jack appears to have removed any trace of their wedding from his profile; only a few photos of Lauren remain, the last uploaded in 2021.
And Lauren last featured Jack on her Facebook account in 2019 when she shared a picture from their wedding.
When the Daily Mail contacted her via telephone on Tuesday, Lauren politely declined to comment about her separation from Jack.
She said it had been a long time since her Shark Tank and Glamazon days, adding: ‘I’m not very interested in talking about my life or showcasing anything anymore.’
