They met on Tinder!
By Samantha Maffucci — Written on May 11, 2018
For those of you who watch The Bachelor, you're familiar with Ben Higgins (originally from Kaitlyn Bristowe's season) and how he gave his final rose to Lauren Bushnell. He proposed on the show, and the two were engaged and even had a reality show together ... until they ultimately broke up a year later.
Since then, Lauren has moved on and has a new man in her life. But who is Lauren Bushnell’s boyfriend? He may be out of the spotlight (unless you count her Instagram page!), but we dug about a few more details you may not know about Devin Antin.
1. He’s a real estate investor.
According to TMZ, Devin is a 28-year-old investor with roots in Los Angeles. It’s a good thing they found each other, because Lauren is an Oregon native. West coast = best coast?
2. He knew Lauren before she was on The Bachelor.
On an Instagram story where Lauren answered questions from fans, she reveale the two met on Tinder a year before she went on the television show. “I only met up with two people from the app and it was him. We hung out for a while but more as friends but always got along really well,” she said.
3. They started dating just two months after her split from Ben.
When she moved back to Los Angeles, “we hung out to catch up and things just kinda happened after that.” But there was no overlap with her relationship with Ben. She announced their relationship in August, and she and Ben broke up in May.
4. They love traveling together.
It’s clear from her Instagram posts that there’s nobody in the world Lauren would want to travel with. The pair has vacationed in Hawaii, Maui, and Chicago, among many other places.
5. Don’t expect them to get married quickly, though.
In the same Instagram story where she answered questions, someone asked, “Are you and Devin going to get married?” Though it’s incredibly sweet, Lauren is clear she wants to take things slowly this time and not jump into marriage so quickly.
“I do see a future with him but I want to be 1000 percent sure before I get engaged and even more sure before I get married. And for me that takes time. I've learned a lot of things in the last couple years and this is a big one. Marriage is such a special and sacred thing that should never be rushed,” she responded.
6. Unlike Ben, Devin can grow decent facial hair.
I mean seriously. Just look at that beard! And the slightest patch of white is even more endearing, not to mention unique.
7. He’s hunkier, too.
No offense to Ben, but Devin looks like the type of guy you see in magazines and commercials. And good for her, because now she has someone who matches her emotionally and physically. Are you drooling yet? Because we are.
Happy for you, Lauren B!
