"At some point I'm sure that's going to happen," Chris told ET. "But I think early in our relationship we'll keep going the way that we are and we'll see what happens."
But the romance is definitely not at a standstill, as Chris revealed he and Lauren will soon be living in the same city.

"She is moving to Nashville. That's going to be a big step for us," Chris revealed of Lauren, who previously said she loves being a California girl and living near friends and family.
"It all kind of happened, I guess, pretty rapidly, but in a good way. We're both a little bit older, so I think sometimes when you're older you know what you want and it's easier to move along a lot faster."
Chris even said Lauren is on his mind when writing love songs and lyrics.
"I definitely have a new inspiration in my life that I've never had before," Chris gushed. "So [there's] a much different feeling inside my heart when I go into a writing room."
The country singer will be embarking on two upcoming tours, according to ET, one with Dan + Shay and another with Brad Paisley.

Lauren and Ben got engaged on The Bachelor's 20th season in early 2016, but after about a year together and a Happily Ever After? spinoff on Freeform, the pair split in May 2017.
After Lauren moved out of Ben's home in Denver, CO, and headed back to California, she began dating Devin Antin, whom she had met on Tinder prior to filming The Bachelor.
Lauren and Devin reportedly split in August 2018, and then Lauren got involved with Chris about three months later. Lauren and Chris had been friends for years but connected in a romantic way at one of his concerts.
