When asked how she was feeling about her daughter's plans to go to University, Lara confessed: "We have one more year. I'm so thankful."
That's not to say she hasn't got a plan in place already. At the end of last year, the TV host confirmed her talented offspring had earned herself a place on the lacrosse team.

Lara also revealed to HELLO! that while the COVID-19 pandemic was difficult there was a glimmer of light - and that was spending more time with her children.
"The impact of COVID on the kids and the world has been so tragic and difficult but there are little silver linings," she said.
"One of them has been to have more time with my children over the last few years. Being at home with them has really been cherished."

Lara shares her children with her ex-husband David Haffenreffer, but is now happily married to Richard McVey.
They share a beautiful family home in Connecticut which Lara admits would be a lot messier if her son was still living at home.
"Yeah. For sure it's tidier now he's gone to college," she added. "I try to keep their stuff relegated to their rooms. I'm not perfect though.
"I'm not going to try to portray that I have a spotless home, I definitely have a basement I could hold a yard sale in. Quite easily."
