When Samira and Lauren first met Lauren was two years into her first marriage to a man. She has explained that her time writing on the show made her realize that she was gay.

“Five months after my wedding, I flew to New York to start production on my first episode of Orange, and from that moment on my life fell into a parallel rhythm with Piper’s story in a way that went from interesting to terrifying in a matter of months.”

Lauren soon after came out, got divorced, and fell for Samira. She and Samira got engaged in October.
