Bushnell and Laneconfirmed their relationshipin November after they appeared together at the 66th annual BMI Music Awards in Nashville.
“It’s brand new and they are enjoying spending time together,” a rep for Lane told PEOPLE at the time.
However, they quickly realized how much they cared about each other, as Lane, 34, told PEOPLE in December that she washeading back to his home townof Kernersville, North Carolina, to meet his parents, and his song “Take Back Home Girl” was starting to become a real-life story.

“When I released that song, I did not realize I would end up meeting somebody that I cared so much about,” he said. “I’ve been so career-focused and career-driven that I haven’t put a whole lot of time into trying to find a relationship. It just hasn’t been my mindset.”
In March, the couple moved in together in Nashville.
“Lauren moving to Nashville has been the best thing for our relationship. It’s been such an easy transition and she makes each day even better,” Lane told PEOPLE exclusively. “There is nothing like waking up next to the person I love, going about my day — working out and working on music — and then coming back home to her! I’m a lucky guy.”

“I’ve been selfishly keeping this girl to myself for too long! Hey friends meet @jessclarke_! I successfully slid into her Dm’s a few months ago. I took a risk and I am glad I did,” the formerBachelorcaptioned a photo of himself and Clarke in February.

In May 2017, Higgins and Bushnellcalled it quitson their more than year-long relationship, saying in a statement at the time that “we wish nothing but the best for each other.” Two months after the pair ended their engagement, Bushnell began datingDevin Antin. Just over a year of dating, theywent their separate ways.
In June, Bushnell opened up aboutwhy she and Higgins broke upduring an interview with Reality Steve.
“I honestly don’t think there was one main reason,” she said. “I don’t necessarily think at the end of the day we were the most compatible.”
“It wasn’t thisbad blood situationor blow-up fight — it’s nothing I can really pinpoint,” she continued. “It just came down to compatibility.”
