So much love! Lauren Bushnell Lane and husband Chris Lane are soaking up every moment with their sons, Dutton and Baker.
The Bachelor alum gave birth in to her first child, Dutton, in June 2021, writing via Instagram: “Dutton Walker Lane born June 8th, 2021. Your dad and I can’t get enough of all 9 pounds of you. Now back to baby cuddles and praising Jesus over and over again for this little miracle!!”
Lane showed his “first time holding” the baby boy in a post of his own. “Words can’t describe the love I feel inside my heart for this little man!” the North Carolina native captioned an Instagram video. “Thanks for all the prayers. I will never understand how @laurenlan birthed a 9-pound baby! DUTTON WALKER LANE welcome to the world.”
The country crooner and the former flight attendant wed in October 2019 in Nashville, four months after the songwriter’s proposal. Bushnell Lane was previously engaged to Ben Higgins from 2016 to 2017 after they met and fell in love on season 20 of The Bachelor.
When Bushnell Lane and and the “Big, Big Plans” singer announced their pregnancy news in December 2020, Higgins sent his congratulations via social media. “What a thing to celebrate,” the Indiana native commented on his ex-fiancée’s social media reveal.

In June 2022, the Bachelor Nation star announced via social media that she and Lane were expanding their family. “Party of 4, coming October 2022,” she wrote at the time. “I cannot wait to see you as a big brother, Dutty!”

“It really is crazy [that baby No. 2 is due on our third wedding anniversary],” Lane said in August 2022. “[As] long as baby’s healthy then we will be happy no matter what day. … I just hope it’s not on Halloween. I don’t know if I want to Halloween baby.”
The designer gave birth to son Baker in October 2022 as planned — just weeks before All Hollow’s Eve.
“[It was] very chaotic, unplanned and panicked but the minute he came into this world he’s been nothing but peaceful and perfect,” Bushnell Lane wrote via Instagram, revealing her little one arrived nine days early on October 16. “We love you Baker, welcome to the !”
