Adorable Throwback Photos Of Lauren Manzo

by Marenah Dobin

If you haven't heard, one of the most well-known Real Housewives offspring out there recently tied the knot. Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo's daughter Lauren Manzo married her long-time love Vito Scalia in July. Congrats! Considering this news, there's no better time to check out some throwback pics of the reality TV daughter.

In my opinion, Lauren really lucked out. She has reaped all of the benefits of being on reality television without actually becoming a reality TV star. I know that she is on Manzo'd with Children, but the show focuses on the Manzo family as a whole, not just Lauren. This means that she strikes that perfect balance of meaningful exposure and personal privacy. The attention she receives isn't nearly as invasive as the kind the Real Housewives receive, but still has a captive audience to promote her business projects. Still, no matter how well Lauren Manzo has maintained her privacy, it's clear that Caroline's daughter has grown so much since we first met her on RHONJ.

Lauren has really come a long way and she seems very happy with her new life — but how did she get where she is today? Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

Vest Dressed

Baby Lauren rocked a vest and bangs while hanging out with her cousin Candace Laurita. She was really on the trends as a child. Too cute!

We All Scream For Ice Cream

Snack hard or go home. Little Lauren was adorable enjoying her ice cream cone back in the day.

Beginning Of Best Friendship

Us fans pretty much all have best friend envy when it comes to Lauren's relationship with her BFF Greg Bennett and apparently this photo was taken when their bond began.

Happy Baby

Lauren was all smiles in this photo and she still has that positive happy attitude today.

Cousin Love

Baby Lauren is looking a little confused while she plays with her cousin Candace. Nevertheless, she looks super adorable.

Throwback Central

There's no better time to break out some throwback photos than a friend's birthday. There are plenty of gems in this collage Lauren posted of her and her good friend also named Lauren.

Feeling Confident

Lauren shared this pic of herself before and after breast reduction surgery. It's clear that she feels super confident and comfortable in her decision.

Catching Up On The News

This is one of the most hilarious photos I've ever seen. She should reenact it as an adult. Too funny.

It's nice to take a glimpse at some of Lauren's personal photos and see more of her than we normally would. She may be on reality TV, but she doesn't put all of her life out there for the world to see.
