====Lauren Jensen====
Lauren had a long-time, on-again off-again relationship with [[Foolish Creeper]] co-founder and band partner [[Denis Porter]], whom she met while attending [[New Prairie High]] from 1970 until they graduated in 1974. The two initially broke up after a few months of dating and decided being friends would be better. In 1976, the two started dating again and did so through the creation of the band in 1978. By 1981, they had broken up again, but resumed dating in 1985 after Denis proposed to Lauren while the band was on tour. They stayed together but didn't marry, as the performing and drugs were starting to get to Denis, causing him to lash out violently at random times.

During the middle of the band's 1987 [[Inside Out (album)|Inside Out tour]], Denis and Lauren got into a massive fight at a hotel. Their argument ended after Denis threw a television out the balcony window, narrowly missing Lauren and landing on a bystander's car 12 stories below. Lauren broke off the engagement and started distancing herself from Denis as they proceeded to work on their next album, ''[[Backwards from the Front (album)|Backwards from the Front]] (1989)''.

Three days before the album's release, Denis, intoxicated and on numerous hard drugs, called Lauren one evening and demanded she leave the band or else he'd "do something rash". It's unknown what he was thinking he'd do, but the ultimatum was enough for Lauren to leave the band. The two didn't speak again until 2009 when Denis and Lauren briefly talked backstage at an award show. The two, having grown and moved on with their lives, agreed to meet for dinner with their spouses. This dinner eventually led to the band being reunited for a new album.
