BACHELOR star Lauren Bushnell and her husband, Chris Lane, have announced that they’re expecting their second baby and revealed how they will choose the child’s name.
This comes after the couple welcomed their son, Dutton Walker, back in June 2021.
Lauren, 32, told People: “To be quite honest, I’ve never been more shocked in my entire life, because this was very much an unexpected surprise.
“We had planned on having at least two kids, so we’re very thankful that it was able to happen for us, even if it wasn’t necessarily on our exact timing. We’re both just incredibly excited.”
While the gender isn’t known, Chris shared: “My family as a whole, all the guys in our family, we make a lot of boys. No one in the family — minus one person — has even had a girl.
“So if I had to guess, I’m going to carry on that tradition and it’s probably going to be a boy, but for Lauren’s sake, I think…”

“I feel like because of that, the Lane family could use some female energy in there!” the Bachelor star chimed in.
The pair- who tied the knot in October 2019- have already discussed who will be naming their second child.
“Lauren and I have talked about it and whether she really agreed to this or not is the big question for me,” the country singer, 37, explained.
“But if it’s a boy, we agreed that I would get to name him. And if it’s a girl, we agreed that she would get to name her.”
Lauren and Chris already have plans not to “stress out so much over little things” with their second child.
Lauren added: “Knowing what to expect a little bit more and knowing what to worry about and what not to worry about just will ease a lot of that just stress and anxiety that you deal with as first-time parents…”
The TV personality said: “Although having a second child … I’ve heard every child is different, so we’ll probably feel like we’re all prepared and then this next baby will probably completely switch it up on us!
“However, I do feel like we’ll just be a little more prepared. Maybe we’ll think we got this in the bag and then we’re going to be in for a rude awakening…”
Previously, Lauren and Chris revealed their first child’s birth was tough on their marriage.
She told Us Weekly in October: “I don’t know if it’s been, like, a strain, but there [have] definitely been times where I’ve had to apologize or he’s had to apologize.”
Lauren continued: “For instance, he was touring a lot about a month ago and when he got back, I left him alone with Dutton for a couple of days just running errands, trying to get my work done.
“And he was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I knew it was hard, but I didn’t fully know. So I’m so sorry that I was traveling. I feel so bad.’”
Lauren was a contestant on season 20 of The Bachelor, where she got engaged to Ben Higgins.
