Even though Burningham brings her happiness, she cannot drive the feeling of sadness away after losing her late ex-husband Christian Evans. According to the outlet, Evans died by suicide after battling with bipolar disorder.

Evans reportedly fell into a serious depression. Following his death, Lake revealed in an interview with "The Dan Wootton Interview" about the tough times she spent loving, living with, and ultimately grieving for her former spouse.

Lake struggled to cope after his death and shared that she did not understand what it meant that he had bipolar when she first met him. She admitted that she equated it to a character flaw, whereas it was a severe illness.

Speaking of his death, she revealed that she does not think she will ever recover from the tragedy. Evans was Lake's second husband, and they eloped in 2012, but their marriage ended two years later.
