Three years after Bachelor viewers watched Lauren Bushnell get engaged on national television, the former flight attendant confirmed that she was set to be married again — and this time, she headed to the altar with country singer Chris Lane.
Bushnell shared the happy news on Instagram on June 18 as she praised her future husband. “I can’t stop smiling
,” she wrote. “I feel so incredibly blessed that every misstep, mistake and heartache has led me to you. I couldn’t be happier to call you mine, forever. The journey was well worth it. Thank you Christopher Eric Lane for softening my heart and making it whole. Never going to stop telling you how much I love you and I will hold onto you forever and ever! Lauren Lane has a nice ring to it
.”
“PS he wrote me a song
,” she told fans. “I can’t stop listening or looking down at my hand
.”
The pair married in Nashville in October 2019, after less than a year together.
The Oregon native was previously engaged to Bachelor season 20 star Ben Higgins, whose proposal to her was telecast in the season’s March 2016 finale. Higgins and Bushnell then starred in the spinoff show Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After? before ending their engagement in May 2017.
That July, Bushnell started dating Devin Antin, but she and the real estate investor split in August 2018. Four months before calling it quits, she watched Lane perform at Stagecoach and even went backstage to hang out with him. She was attending the music festival with Antin, but he was not backstage during Bushnell’s meet-and-greet with her future husband.
All those romantics ups and downs are history, though, now that she and the “I Don’t Know About You” crooner heard wedding bells. Scroll down to revisit the couple’s relationship timeline, starting with one of their first public outings.
Us Weekly confirmed the duo were dating after they got close on the BMI Country Music Awards red carpet in November 2018. “Chris had his arm around Lauren as they walked onto the red carpet and they posed together,” an onlooker told Us at the time. “Lauren was standing front row during Chris’ performance.”

Before he started dating Bushnell, Lane dated another Lauren B. — namely, Lauren Barr, another contestant from The Bachelor season 20. “Chris was dating LB right before Lauren,” a source told Us in November, adding that Bushnell had called Barr a couple of days prior “to tell her that they were together.”

Lane stoked engagement rumors in January when he raved about his “great day on the course with [his] potential future father-n-law,” i.e. Bushnell’s father. (“Y’all, just so you’re aware, I’m not engaged,” the singer later clarified in his Instagram Stories.)

At the 2019 ACM Awards in April, Lane told Entertainment Tonight he was “working on” a proposal to Bushnell. “Don’t tell her that, though,” he joked at the time.

The couple took a romantic trip to Saint Barthélemy earlier this month, enjoying the Caribbean waters, swimming with sea turtles, and trying their hand at stand-up paddle boarding.

“Do not expect a long engagement,” a source told Us in June 2019. “They want to start a family sooner rather than later.”

Bushnell announced in August 2019 that they adopted a dog and purchased a home in Nashville. “It’s without shock to anyone who knows me well but, we have decided to make Cooper a permanent part of our family,” she wrote via Instagram. “So happy we get to love you Coop- now that we have adopted you I’ll start working on your dad and finding you a brother/sister, but for now it’s the 3 of us! Oh! And!! WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!”

The twosome celebrated their impending wedding at an engagement party in his native North Carolina in September 2019. “It’s been an incredible year in my career as well as my personal life,” he shared on Instagram. “Took the weekend off to celebrate our engagement in Kernersville with both of our families!! I’m a lucky lucky man!”
