Lauren Sanchez has paid tribute to her ‘support system’ on social media just days after hinting that her year had started ‘with turbulence.’
The 55-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday and reshared a post from the official account for her children’s story The Fly Who Flew, which featured a photo from the book’s launch last year.
In the snap, Lauren is seen posing with seven of her gal pals, including the long-term partner of her ex-boyfriend, October Gonzalez, as well as stylist Victoria Trilling and entrepreneur Tina Chen Craig.
The caption on the new Instagram post read: ‘Every dreamer needs a support system, and @Laurenwsanchez and I am so glad that these incredible women are a part of ours!
‘Their kindness, support, and encouragement remind us that we can achieve anything with the right people (and flies) by our side.’
Victoria was quick to comment on the post and wrote: ‘That’s why you are my very best friend. You just make life better!’
Tina also commented and simply wrote: ‘ILY @laurenwsanchez,’ followed by a red heart emoji.
Another one of Lauren’s friends in the photo, whose Instagram account @begoamaya is private, wrote on the post: ‘Friendship is everything. Those close to you make all the difference in life!’

Khloe then added: ‘Thank you for being vulnerable and for creating a book that will allow other children to feel seen.
‘Order the @theflywhoflew for yourself or your babies – such a sweet and positive read that teaches so many lessons of determination, resilience and believing in yourself!’
When Lauren shared snaps from the September 2024 bash, she wrote alongside them: ‘I’ve learned so much during the launch of my book and that includes knowing the importance of good friends.
‘Women who scoot over and make room for other women to ‘have a seat at the table.’ Women who uplift each other.
‘Thank you @krisjenner for hosting this beautiful lunch with all the girls to support @theflywhoflew. What a special afternoon, I’m over the moon!’
