Laura is an activewear designer who owns the brand Nagnata with sister Hannah Gibbs.
She has worked as a designer and creative director for other brands before she started her own.

Why did Simon Baker and Laura Gibbs split?
Simon, 51, split with Laura, 36, after she boasted about attending an anti-vax protest in Australia.
Simon and Laura were in a serious relationship as of May 2021 according to Magzters magazine, who reported: “Laura has all but moved in. He’s absolutely smitten – head over heels in love.”
Laura was increasingly vocal about her opposition to the Covid-19 vaccine on social media over the past few months.
On November 7, 2021, Laura attended a rally in Australia protesting vaccine mandates.
The clip showed hundreds gathering and cheering as one sign read “We stand united against ‘no jab no job’ and vaccine passports.”
Her post was captioned “Power to the people 
@reclaimtheline.”
In October 2021, Nagnata released a lengthy from the company’s official Instagram account denouncing the “discrimination” surrounding the Covid vaccine.
“It is against our personal and brand values to discriminate against any customers from walking through the doors of our Nagnata retail store,” the Instagram post read. “
In light of the NSW government releasing a roadmap to ease Covid restrictions for the vaccinated only, we have made the decision to close our Byron Bay store from Monday 11th October. We will reopen when ALL are welcome without fear of judgement and fines.”
Who is Simon Baker’s ex-wife Rebecca Riggs?
Simon and Rebecca split after nearly three decades together in January 2021.
“We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives,” the couple wrote in a statement.
The pair share three children together: Stella, 28, Claude, 22, and Harry, 20.
Simon and Rebecca met in the early 1990s and went on to star in the Australian soap opera, E Street, together.
Previously opening up to People about his marriage, Simon once revealed that he and Rebecca did not celebrate anniversaries.
“We’ve never really been big on it. Anniversaries, they’re an odd thing, aren’t they?” the actor said in 2018.
“I think we put too much pressure on it. It’s not like that with us. We’re a team. Most of the time, 99 percent of the time, we’re really great friends. So I don’t need to mark it with great things.”
