Early Life and Family Background: How Old Is Laura Surrich?
Laura Surrich is 36 years old. Like Natasha Culzac, the actress from Auckland, New Zealand, was born in the 80s, precisely on the 17th of January 1988. While her age isn’t up for debate, her place of birth and nationality has been clear to many. This is so because several reports have claimed she is an Australian born in Adelaide, South Australia; whereas others claim she’s Kiwi (New Zealander) born in Auckland, New Zealand.
Showbizers has been able to validate the fact of the matter. Surrich is from Auckland, New Zealand, but she was born in South Australia where she spent her early life. She confirmed this in 2017 when she shared a picture with her father at Victor Harbor, South Australia. The Instagram picture came with a caption that alluded to being born and raised in South Australia.
Parents and Siblings
Laura is one of two children born to her parents: she has a sister called Emma Surrich. She is close to her sister as much as she loves and adores her parents. Her father Surrich (Srzić) Douglas Joseph died on the 19th of January 2019 at age 68. Although her mother’s name is yet to be determined, Laura fondly calls the woman Mama Bear.
It seems Laura’s sister Emma is also a model or an influencer of some sort. As of this writing (October 2022), her Instagram page has over 24 thousand followers. The sisters came from a broken home filled with love and understanding.
Although their parents divorced at some point, they remained friendly toward each other as they co-parent their kids. This was why Laura described them in 2015 as the best-divorced couple she know. As you would soon learn, her parents inspired her unusual attitude toward her ex-husband Mischa Malane after their marriage packed up.
She Is College-Educated and a Trained Performer
Laura Surrich didn’t accidentally get into showbusiness. It seems it is something she has always wanted to do for a living. Her educational records do not suggest otherwise. It is said that she attended and graduated from the New Zealand College of Performing Arts; this was in 2007.
Thereafter, she furthered her education and bagged a degree in Film and Television Production. If we are not mistaken, she made her screen debut as an actress in 2005. Albeit an uncredited role, she appeared as a New York Theatre Goer in King Kong, the 2005 action, adventure-drama film directed by Peter Jackson.
Her next role after that came in 2009; she played Tawny in Diagnosis: Death, a comedy-horror mystery movie that Jason Stutter co-wrote with Raybon Kan and directed. Since 2014 when Laura was seen as Secretary in The Cure, she is yet to appear in any other production. It seems she has relegated acting to the background, just as she did with modeling.

Laura Surrich Is Now Focused on Running Her Company Called Erosflo
Laura Surrich is the founder of Erosflo, a company that takes pride in calling itself a “sacred massage empowerment temple”. The business located at Holistic Hub, 152 Kepa Road, Auckland, New Zealand promises to help people own their desires through its tantric-inspired massage temple.
As culled from the company’s website, Laura created Erosflo with the intent of guiding people toward discovering their innate power. It is claimed that she blended her studies of embodiment practices with her decade of experience in massage and temple arts to guide Erosflo as a sacred healer.
Apart from invoking the deepest feelings of love on her clients, Surrich is hopeful that through Erosflo, she would help people realize their divinity. She runs the business with Shaunie Love whom the Erosflo site describes as a Tantric Goddess and Embodiment Healer.
Who Is Laura Surrich’s Husband?
It is widely believed that Laura Surrich is a married woman. Various reports have it that she is currently married to Jacob Engelbrecht. While we can confirm that the two are together, we are not certain about their marital status.
From what we gathered, Engelbrecht is an artist, the Creative Magician of Legit Events. He seems to be at the forefront of the company which offers services ranging from event management to creative design and what have you.
If Laura Surrich and Jacob Engelbrecht are truly married as of this writing, then they only got married recently. It was only in March 2022 that the actress disclosed she divorced her ex-husband. Yes, if Engelbrecht is indeed her husband, he isn’t her first.
She Was First Married to Mischa Malane and Is a Mother of Two
Before Jacob Engelbrecht came into the picture, Laura Surrich was married to Mischa Malane. Amongst other things, Malane is a videographer, photographer, and technologist. He was married to the actress for six years.
Surrich and Malane’s divorce seems to be an amicable one. The former couple has been positive about their divorce. Rather than mourn the death of their union, they celebrated it.
Laura shared an unusual post on Instagram about the divorce. She declared her love for the man who had just become her ex-husband, asserting that the divorce calls for the celebration of unconditional love.
While their marriage lasted, Surrich and Malane had a child together, a daughter named Cara. Before Cara, Surrich had given birth to a daughter named Bella. Malane didn’t sire Bella; neither did Engelbrecht. The identity of her biological father is yet to be determined.
