In an interview with People, Lauren shared that she had taken multiple pregnancy tests before she finally convinced herself she really was expecting.

‘I took a test and believe I was about three-and-a-half weeks at that point, so the second line was very faint. I showed Chris and he didn’t believe the test,’ she explained.

‘We went to the store together and bought a digital test and it clearly read ‘pregnant.’ I think I took about 10 more still in disbelief!’ she added. ‘Because I was so early we both were shocked but cautiously optimistic!’ 

Lauren, whose engagement to Bachelor Ben Higgins ended in May 2017, started dating Chris in 2018, having met him at an event three years earlier, and they tied the knot in a ceremony held in Nashville, Tennessee.
