Chris Lane has found his "take back home girl."

While on the 2018 Country Music Awards red carpet Wednesday (November 14), the 34-year-old country singer gushed about his new girlfriend, former Bachelor star, Lauren Bushnell.

"Confirmed. I am [dating Lauren]," he told iHeartCountry. "We've been friends for a long time and we've kind of kept in touch. We met — funny story — at an iHeart show... like years and years ago, but we were just friends for all that time and the recently started spending some time together and realized we actually enjoy each other."

With Chris basically thanking iHeart for starting his new relationship, we had to do a little digging of our own to see when, and where, he and Lauren might have crossed paths. While it's not confirmed, it seems like Lauren met Chris when she was engaged to Bachelor Ben Higgins at the 2016 iHeartCountry Festival. #Interesting

"She's awesome," Chris continued. "I love somebody who's got a good personality and she's got one of the best personalities I've ever seen. She's top notch. She makes me laugh... I don't know about you, but I just found my take back home girl."
