She was left by her parents and was raised by her grandparents. Below is some information about her grandparents.
Linda Price & Derek Price: Meet Lauren Price Grandparents
Lauren Price’s grandmother’s name is Linda Price and her grandfather’s name is Derek Price.
Lauren was left as an infant by her parents and Linda and Derek decided to adopt Lauren.
Lauren was only 3 days old when her parents decided to leave her, and she was raised by her grandparents.
Their terraced house was in the south Wales town of Ystrad Mynach, which eventually became Price’s home too.
Her grandpa, Derek was a football player, and Lauren learned from her grandpa to get into the sports, and he is the only reason, Lauren can win the gold.
Lauren said in the interview that it is for her grandparents.
Sadly Derek was not able to survive with dementia to see his grandchild win the gold, but Linda is very proud of Lauren.
Linda is now 91 years old and is still cheering for her grandchild, after winning the gold medal.
Lauren said in an interview that, if her grandparents wouldn’t have been there, she would end up in child care or even worse, so, she is very grateful to them.
Who Is Lauren Price Mother?
It is still unclear who is Lauren’s mother. Though her father’s name is Tim Price, her mother’s name is still unknown.
Lauren never mentioned her parents and was always fond of her grandparents.
As it was hard for this girl to believe that her parents left her when she was only 3 days old. She was born in Newport, Wales, but she grew up in Caerphilly with her grandparents.
But Lauren takes this story as a motivation to increase her performance every time she gets into the ring.
As a kickboxer, Price won a silver medal at a World Championships event in Athens in 2007 at the age of 13.
She has even competed for opponents who were twice her age and has even defeated them with her glorious wins.
