Big Brother fans in Acadiana have a major reason to tune in this season as Lafayette’s very own Lauren Domingue is officially a houseguest on Big Brother 27! The hit CBS show returns Thursday night (July 11) at 7 PM, and Lauren is one of 16 contestants entering the iconic Big Brother house.

The 22-year-old is already generating buzz on our timelines as locals cheer on the bridal consultant from the Hub City, who recently graduated from LSU.

An STM graduate (and also a Sparkler), Domingue works at a popular bridal boutique right here in Lafayette and is known for her grace, charm, and sense of style—so we're talking about a hometown girl through and through.

A Familiar Local Face With Global Reach

Beyond her bridal expertise, Lauren has also worked as a model, traveling to major fashion hubs like New York, Los Angeles, and even Paris. Her poised yet fun presence may be new to national television but not to cameras or high-pressure environments.

She’s also deeply rooted in our local community. Her mother, the CEO of Lafayette Surgical Speciality Hospital, is a familiar name in Lafayette healthcare circles, adding even more hometown pride to Lauren’s story.

Lafayette Is Already Rooting for Her

Friends and followers describe Lauren as a “girl’s girl” who’s incredibly kind, down-to-earth, and smart. Many are already calling her the perfect person to represent Lafayette and Louisiana on a national stage.

With Lafayette locals flooding Facebook with support and local bridal clients already proudly name-dropping their hometown favorite, it’s safe to say Lauren will have a built-in fan base from Day 1.
