On Wednesday, a source told Us Weekly the 41-year-old actress has been content with her decision to part ways with the religion and just wants to move on with her own form of spiritual practice:
“She feels relieved to be living life on her own terms. She wants to focus on her own individual spirituality. ”
Prepon was involved with the controversial church since 1999, so it shocked many people when she admitted in order to distancing herself from the institution after 17 years. She’ d always been a staunch advocate for it before. In 2015, she even appeared in the Scientology-affiliated magazine Celebrity , where she praised the process of auditing for helping to be able to ease a lot of her emotions. Prepon said at the particular time:
“In my life, things have become much easier, I’ m not affected like I used to be. Things don’ t bother me that had before. I don’ t react like I did before. ”
Now, the That 70s Show alum apparently could not be more than happy that she and the girl family have no affiliation with religion at all. The insider shared:
“She’ s a mum now, and she’ s moved on, plus she is building her life around that. Laura found the woman own spiritual path and no longer wants to be associated along with the church. ”
You cannot really blame your ex — especially if the reason Laura decided to peace out was actually due to her former co-star Danny Masterson ’s rape accusations by multiple women and the organization allegedly covering up that scandal to protect him. That alone is certainly more than enough of a reason for someone to want to make sure that their family never crosses paths with the group in the future.
Granted, typically the timing of her jumping ship also coincided with her getting with her future husband Ben Foster , whom the girl married in 2018, followed by having their 4-year-old daughter Ella in addition to 16-month-old son. Maybe having children changed her perspective??
Since leaving Scientology, the New Jersey native has instead found comfort in meditation, which she practices with her Hell or High Water star hubby, who she claimed has never practiced her previous religious beliefs before. Prepon explained to People :
“We meditate daily, and even I’ m really liking this because it’ s something that helps me to hear my personal voice, and it’ s something we can do together. ”
