Hi guys, welcome to Young Hollywood. How are you? Are you in LA?

Yeah. In LA. It's like not gloomy here. I was talking to Jensen and it's like 72, might be like 80.

Well you guys had your one-year wedding anniversary on the 25th, right?

Yes. Yeah. Just celebrated on was it Sunday?

Sunday.

And by celebrated, we watched football and sat on the couch.

Hey, so. Is it good? That's like a usual Sunday for you now?

Pretty much. Yeah. I mean, especially with football being on. I feel like that's kind of the typical Sunday now. Yeah, I'm a diehard Carolina Panthers fan over here, so always got to watch the games. We talked to Robbie Anderson a couple weeks ago. He was pretty cool.

Oh, yeah. Right on.

Okay, and so for you've been spending a lot of time together over the past few months, um, at home. What is one thing I guess you could say like you've learned about each other in like the year of marriage that you've been in?

I think I've I've learned, and this isn't necessarily a, uh, negative thing. I I I've learned that Lauren and I have grown closer through, you know, this pandemic when honestly, it could have went the opposite way. But I I think a good silver lining is that we have grown closer. Um, and I love her. Even when I didn't think I could love her any any more than I already did, I found out every day that I love her even more. But I did find out that Lauren is not a very patient person.

What?

I feel like Yeah, I'm not a patient person either. That's why I said it's not a negative thing. No one, patient is very well in the house. You need to work on that.

Lauren loves that I am or knows now that I am absolutely obsessed with golf. He's like 70 years old and retired and just plays golf Monday through Friday, honestly. Saturdays. That actually doesn't bother me at all. I'm very thankful. Sometimes I'll go out there with him and just like ride in the cart and have a couple drinks and maybe hit a couple balls. And we'll take our dogs out there with us. Yeah. It's actually really fun.

Fast. Like we She has a sock in her mouth currently. Oh, she just dropped it. Oh, that's not.

And you have the big big plans music video is now out. What is it like knowing that so many people like you share your wedding day and like your love with so many people?

Yeah, you know, it's been super special. And, uh, you know, a little backstory behind all of that is I had no clue when I was writing that song that I was going to end up using it to propose to Lauren. But after, you know, several times getting back together and trying to finish the song, I decided, why not try and write a proposal into the third verse of the song of exactly what I was going to do in her hometown. And she had given me plenty of, uh, hey, if you ever, uh, ask me to marry you, it better not be in front of a crowd of people. A lot of a lot of people, not to get off subject here, but a lot of people don't know this story either. So, uh, it's it's a little gross, but when I was walking Lauren to the yard during the third verse of that song, when she realized what was happening, um, when it says finally or I guess she finally realized I'm going to ask her to marry me, whatever the lyric is there. As I was walking her to the yard to get down on my knee, I stepped barefoot in a massive dog turd. But played it off like a champ.

Played it off like a champ.

Played it off like a champ and then we were able to, uh, finish the music video.

I had no idea.

Yeah, but I I think for me, you know, outside of being able to share our wedding day and the engagement and all that kind of stuff that goes along with the song. It's been so encouraging and so cool for me to see people proposing at every single show. Um, and and I watch guys go through exactly what I went through when I got down on my knee and blacked out and didn't know what I wanted to say and all that kind of stuff. But, uh, it's been an enjoyment to watch other guys go through that on stage and and super sweet.

Makes it a great moment, yeah.

Yeah. And Lauren, what were you thinking like when he was walking towards you and everything? What was going through your mind? Because you were hearing the song and everything.

Yeah, so I was like hearing the song for the very first time. Chris had been working on the song for months prior, but he would do it when I was out of the house. So if I was like running errands or whatever, he would make me call him when I was walking up to our apartment at the time because he didn't want me to hear it. So I had not even heard a single lyric from the song. So

She didn't even know the song existed.

No. I mean, I knew you were writing a song that you were being like secretive about, but I didn't know what it was about. I had no idea that it was going to have to do with him proposing to me. So that was an entire surprise. So honestly, I was just really present. Like I wasn't really thinking because I was so intent on listening to the lyrics and like listening to the song. But I mean, obviously, when I heard that third verse, it was just like water works, like the best moment of my life.

Wait, then we're going to play the couple's tag with you if you're down.

Oh. Yeah. Yes.

Well, a bunch of questions you basically it's about your relationship and who who is who in the relationship.

Okay. Okay.

Okay, so who is the more romantic one?

Chris? I mean, I wrote her a song and proposed to her.

Which one drives faster?

It's like every I I will admit I'm a backseat driver. But it's only because Chris has a lead foot. Half the time he's like spacing out. I don't even know what it's probably like writing a song in his head and just not even paying attention to what he's doing.

I'm a great driver, actually.

Who chooses the music?

Really? I mean, well, it's 50/50 to be honest with you. When I'm driving, I choose the music. No, when when Lauren's driving, all we listen to is Taylor Swift. I'm honestly, I'm never met a bigger Taylor Swift fan than her. She even has a group chat. Called Taylor.

Why do you have to do this for me right now?

Taylor. I love it.

Me and my friends. And they talk about Taylor Swift. Oh, no, we talk about other like pop culture events. It's not Taylor's like the main main one. Titled because it I think it started. Yeah, anyways.

Anyways, who gets up earlier?

What? I definitely do not lie. I would say 75% of the time, I always get up before Lauren. We both love to sleep, however.

We can both sleep, yes. We both love to sleep, so one day when we have children, it's going to be a rude awakening.

Who is funnier?

Um, I would say it it definitely depends on the moment. I mean, Lauren actually is funny without trying to be funny. I think that's why I

Chris Lauren just makes fun of me. Like I don't think I'm funny. I think he says I have funny mannerisms. So I'm not trying to be funny. He just thinks my mannerisms are funny.

Yeah. Yeah.

Where was your first kiss?

The Bahama. Yeah.

Was it? Yeah. Not a bad place. Like weren't dating, we were friends, but we definitely kissed. It was that gray area.

He remembered the very first thing you ever said to each other. I know it's a great question.

Hey, um Yeah, we were actually introduced by at an in Austin, Texas, at an I Heart Radio event. Um, I was in a different relationship and we there was just a mutual I mean, guy, who was it? His name's Tom, right? From Yeah, Tom. He introduced us. So I honestly think it was like, nice to meet you. Like because we were being introduced. I will say this, though, we have a photo from that night that I'll never share. But it honestly looks like the photo that night looks like Lauren and I, you know, it was a foreshadowing thing. It looks like we're the ones who are to get.

It is. Well, only because we're standing next to each other.

Yeah, only because we're standing next to each other. We're standing next to each other.

That's so cool that you have a photo, though, of the first night you ever met.

Yeah, because I mean, truly, if you would have told me like that's going to be your husband, I would have been like, no.

She would have been like, wow, he's a lot shorter than I expected. Our kids are going to be really short.

Oh my gosh. Okay, and you have the song Big Big Plans. What what what song is next? What what what would you write about next?

Honestly, I wish I knew the answer to that. I I have, uh, a lot of songs that I really love a lot that I've been able to, uh, write during this quarantine and and during all this stuff since we can't tour. Um, I'm not sure which one of those will come out next or which group of songs will come out next. But I just started back in the studio. So I am excited about that whole process and just kind of getting the ball rolling and, um, yeah, I'm not sure. I I think it's going to be an up tempo, uh, hopefully big song. We'll see.
