She married firstly, in August 1996 at Acton Parish Church, Orlando William Montagu (born 16 January 1971), the younger son of The 11th Earl of Sandwich. They had no children before divorcing in 2002.

She announced her engagement to the aristocratic photographer Bill Burlington (born 6 June 1969), heir to the Duke of Devonshire, on 23 December 2006 in The Times. The couple married quietly in March 2007, and a wedding reception was held in early August 2007 at Lismore Castle, County Waterford, Ireland, now the home of the newlyweds. Cavendish is now known as Countess of Burlington, or more informally as Laura Burlington.

The couple has three children, a son and two daughters:

  • Lady Maud Cavendish (born in March 2009)
  • James Cavendish, Lord Cavendish (born 12 December 2010), second in line of succession to the Dukedom of Devonshire
  • Lady Elinor Cavendish (born 2013)
