Personally, the only reason I'd care about her past is if it adds depth to her character and gives her a stronger personality with insight into what motivates her to go from popstar to rebel and political figurehead.
Imo, all Lacus needs is more humanity.

And don't say that's irrelevant for the plot, she's supposedly a main character not a plot device and as such should have depth.
It's not really "relevant" that Murrue had a boyfriend who died either, yet it adds to the story.
Murrue's boyfriend adds to the story because it explains why she is hesitant to be with Mu.

With Lacus, everything about her is explained in the story itself. From her meeting with Kira to her dad dying. And we are shown some of her past. For her example, we can see that her engagement to Athrun seems to be less about love and more about politics/genetics, which explains why they are readily separated when Kira and Cagalli enters the picture.
