The former Love Island star, who became a mother in April, shared this intimate detail during a debate about whether women should pass on their surnames to their children instead of the father's. The discussion, which took place on Good Morning Britain, prompted Shaughna to share her personal stance with her 1.4 million Instagram followers. She explained that Lucia's surname is double-barrelled, a decision influenced by her desire to keep her father's memory alive. Shaughna wrote on her Instagram Stories: "Interested to know everyone's thoughts on this. I decided I wanted to keep my surname after my dad passed away. I just felt like it was a part of him I never wanted to give up." She further added, "So when I found out I was pregnant, Lucia's surname was always going to be double-barrelled because mine will be if/when I get married." In a candid revelation, Shaughna shared: "Did you know that if your child only has dad's surname and you travel without him, you need to travel with the baby's birth certificate?" The reality star shares her daughter Lucia with estate agent boyfriend Billy Webb, who she disclosed 'wasn't around' in March following his drug offence charges in January. Shaughna's decision to retain her maiden name and pass it on to her children stems from the heartbreak of losing her beloved father, Eddie, to cancer in 2016. This tragic event occurred four years before Shaughna shot to fame on Love Island in 2020, where she left solo on day 33, narrowly missing out on the final. The journey to motherhood was not smooth for the reality TV star. Despite her desire for a vaginal birth, complications led to an emergency C-section for the delivery of baby Lucia.){kind=link}
