"As a sister, she's been embarrassed and shocked over the years thanks to Matthew's exploits, but she will always love him, despite often being the one left in the middle helping support her parents when he's suffered another disaster," a source told Woman's Day.
The insider added: "They were as close as twins growing up, so she would never write him out of their lives, but the tragic thing is he cannot possibly live near them ever again."
Lauren married former Olympic swimmer Matt Welsh in 2006 and the pair share five children together, with Lauren currently pregnant with their sixth!
