Shaughna Phillips welcomed baby Lucia in April after splitting from Billy Webb (Instagram/shaughnaphillips)"I love being a Mum," she gushed on her podcast Oh Baby! with co-host Holly Connolly. "I have absolutely zero desire to have a relationship with anyone or invite someone into my life. I love just me and my baby, we just crack on with it, and I don't know whether that feeling will ever leave me," she said. "Is it because she is just so new and I'm in like a little bubble? I'm not sure. But I just feel like I have a friend for life and also I don't feel like I have any energy to try and maintain or develop something new. I just feel like me and my baby are good over here.
"To me, it's just not worth it – I just feel like there's no relationship in my life that is worth it than the one I have with her. She's my soulmate. I'm so good." Shaughna welcomed baby Lucia into the world in April, after announcing her pregnancy last October.

She shares her daughter with ex Billy Webb, who was arrested on drug charges just two months before she gave birth. Shortly after, Shaughna told OK! magazine she was preparing to be a single mum, revealing, "After a challenging few weeks, obviously, the baby's father isn't around.
"But my main focus has always been just to prepare for the birth and try to be as calm as possible. I'm good at just saying, 'Right, the show must go on'."
Elsewhere on the candid podcast, Shaughna doubled down on her satisfaction with solo parenting and avoiding any intimate relationships. She explained that her commitment to protecting Lucia, whom she has since described as has significantly impacted who'll she date. "The thought of anyone being in my baby's life that isn't her own family, scares me to no end," she admitted. "And I know not everyone's this big, scary monster in the world but I just think when you've got a child and you're dating, you need to be so much more careful than if you didn't have a child."
