“John and I have decided to end our 20-year marriage. We remain committed and dedicated to our two wonderful children and will always be a supportive, loving family of four – we are just doing it differently now!”

Furthermore, Wright admitted that they had been separated for over a year before finally making the announcement public.

However, she was sure to let her fans and followers know that all that time helped settle her emotions. It gave her a positive mindset, reflected in the statement that read;

“Everyone is great – life is still beautiful — and I am a grateful woman. That’s all!!! Have a Kick-Ass Tuesday !!!!!!”

Is Laura Wright Pregnant Again?

Is Laura Wright pregnant? If she is, then it is certainly news to us. We’re just kidding; of course, she is not pregnant right now.

Yes, many people did not know that Laura Wright was back in the market, let alone a long-term relationship with Wes Ramsey.

He is a fellow actor and a soap opera actor, so their path was bound to cross sooner or later. They met on the set of ‘Guiding Light,’ where Laura was portraying the role of Cassie Layne Winslow.

Is She Dating or Already Engaged?

Ramsey and Laura met up again after he signed on to appear in General Hospital in August 2017. He fell in love with Laura gradually, and they’d start dating after a time.

Since then, the two have been dating and no show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The two often share pictures out on adventures and vacations. This is where outlets speculate that Laura and her new man are getting serious fast.

However, we can assure you that they are not engaged yet. The relationship hasn’t made it that far just yet. Wright confirms this in a post as she writes, “we are not engaged. Just living in love and super happy.”
