Chris, 52, and his new bride, Lauren, 35, first got married on October 14 in Napa Valley, California in an “intimate” ceremony.

Then a few weeks later on November 4 in Austin, Texas, the two lovebirds threw a giant “blowout bash” to celebrate the newest chapter in their lives.

Lauren told People: ‘As much as we wanted an intimate weekend for our wedding ceremony in Napa, we also wanted to celebrate getting married with all the great friends we have — hence this bigger party.”

She continued: “Doing the second event in Austin [where the couple lives full-time] gave us the ability to include all of our friends, and also made sure that we didn’t leave our wedding feeling like we didn’t even see any of our loved ones— a story we’ve heard before.”

Chris then chimed in: “They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and that’s what we’re leaning into. We’ve asked guests to come ready to party!”

On November 3, the couple hosted a party where many Bachelor stars including Colton Underwood, Arie Luyendyk Jr, Lauren Burnham, Ben Higgins, Wells Adams, and Sarah Hyland.

The next day, the newlyweds held their party, and over 225 people attended.

Chris and Lauren used to live in southern California and now currently live in Texas.

“We now live full-time in Austin and have loved every minute of it,” Lauren gushed, “We moved here in part to start a new chapter of life together in a place neither of us had lived before, so we wanted to celebrate in the place where we’ve built our life together and with the people we’ve gotten close to here.”

THEIR RELATIONSHIP

Chris and Lauren have been together since 2018.

They met after she was sent to interview him about the Bachelor for Entertainment Tonight.

The pair went Instagram official in August of that year.

In February 2019, Chris talked about the early days of their romance.

He told People: “We started dating and, like any relationship, she made me happy.

“She was kind, nice, we got along, she blended in great with my friends, and just all those steps in the relationship where you start checking those boxes off and it gets better and better and better.”

The two quarantined together during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic.

In April 2020, Chris told People: “I think it’s helped bring us closer together.

“I think it’s helped us love each other more, respect and I think, appreciate the little things in each other a lot more because there is no getting away or just running away from this. We’re stuck. We’re in.”

On October 25, 2021 Chris revealed their engagement via an Instagram post which read “The next chapter starts now.”
