But It’s Not What It Seems

While that might sound like a super quick switcheroo, the docs also reveal that Lauren and Charles have been separated since March 2018, so Lauren was actually single for almost a year.

Making It Official

It’s unclear if Lauren’s relationship with Chris is the reason her husband finally bit the bullet and filed, but it definitely freed her up to express her love, like when she posted a photo with Chris on Instagram and captioned it with a heart.

But What’s the Reason?

It’s also unclear what exactly ended the relationship. The couple was together for almost four years before separating last year.

A Clean Break

Luckily, Lauren and Charles don’t share any kids, so they don’t have to worry about a nasty custody battle or splitting weekends.

What About Money?

However, money could become a point of contention. Charles opted to put off discussing spousal support until a later date, so it’s unclear if either of them is expecting support. It’s definitely possible it could come up again in the future.

He Can Relate

Chris might actually be a good source of support for Lauren during this tough time, as he went through his own divorce in 2012, following an 18-year marriage.

So Simpatico

So he knows a lot about divorce, and she knows a lot about The Bachelor, leading her own podcast about the TV show hosted by her man.
