#850. We’re here with the two lovebirds, Chris and Lauren Lane — and there’s a lot going on. Baby #3 is on the way (yes, it was a surprise), and Chris says it all makes sense now… especially after Lauren couldn’t keep her hands off him!!

They open up about how this pregnancy is different, how they’re navigating life with two toddlers and one on the way, and how they keep their marriage strong through it all. Chris opens up about his brand-new album Shade Tree — his most personal yet — and shares the story behind a song about a dog that, of course, has Kaitlyn all in!

We also hear the wild story of how Chris taught himself guitar in his 20s, started selling out clubs before Nashville even knew his name, and whether Lauren might join him for a duet someday. And yes… we had to ask: is Chris secretly pivoting to comedy? Let’s just say, his new “bits” on social have people begging for more. Tune in NOW!

Katie opens up about her inspiring path from college athlete to SI Rookie of the Year (with her best friend, no less!), and how years of rejections led to the “yes” that changed everything.
