3. Her Relationship With Wes Ramsey
Laura has been dating Wes for the last two years, and yes, many people have called them the most handsome, if not also photogenic couple in the entertainment industry. “He’s seven years younger than me, let’s just put it out there,” Laura told Soap Opera Digest in an interview back in 2017. “People are going, ‘[Gasps] He’s such a boy toy!’ I’m like, ‘He’s seven years younger!’ And in your 40s, I don’t know how big of a deal that is. But he looks even younger. Sometimes when we take pictures together, I’m like, ‘Stop smiling! You look like you’re 12! Look angry; you’ll look older!’”
2. She Loves To Stay In Shape
If Laura isn’t on the set of General Hospital or spending time with her family, you can bet that she is working out or hiking up the mountains at Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles. She loves to stay in shape, spend time in the outdoors, and de-stress by letting her body do the work for her!
