Laura Hamilton Defends Co-Parenting After Divorce

Laura Hamilton, a presenter for A Place In The Sun, has addressed criticism regarding her co-parenting approach after her divorce. She firmly believes that children thrive when they have quality time with both parents, particularly when those parents are individually happier.

Hamilton, who shares two children with her ex-husband, emphasizes that her co-parenting schedule allows for this. She plans her demanding filming commitments around the periods her children are with their father, enabling her to focus entirely on her career.

She stated that she has immense respect for full-time mothers but could not personally choose that path, as she values her career alongside her role as a mother. Hamilton considers herself fortunate to have an employer who offers the flexibility to sometimes travel with her children.

Furthermore, Hamilton has faced accusations of neglecting her children due to her frequent travel for filming. She dismisses these claims, pointing out that social media does not always reflect reality. She also stated that her online posts are not always in real-time and not posting about her children does not mean she is not spending time with them.

Hamilton aspires to set a positive example for her daughter, showing that a successful career and family life can be balanced. She joined A Place In The Sun 13 years ago and continues to be a recognizable face on the show.
