Chris Harrison broke his social media silence for the first time since exiting The Bachelor franchise in order to celebrate his three-year anniversary with girlfriend, Lauren Zima. The full-time Entertainment Tonight correspondent has known the former Bachelor host for quite some time, as he often appeared as a guest on her Bachelor recap show, Roses & Rose. Since then, the couple sparked marriage rumors when Chris posted a sweet kissing photo earlier this year. Though Lauren stunned in a floor-length gown and Chris was cleaned up in a suit, the pair quickly clarified they were just attending a friend’s wedding, rather than celebrating their own love.
In his first post since the controversy, Chris posted a series of his favorite moments with Lauren including beach days, boat days, and quarantined days. “Another incredible trip around the sun with this beautiful woman. I love you for your wisdom, strength, vulnerability, theatrics, compassion, advice, laughter, grace… your love,” he captioned his anniversary post. “The only woman that can remain chic as s–t while doing a Voldemort impersonation.” Chris wrapped up the sweet caption saying, “I love you LZ. Happy anniversary! Can’t wait to see what the next trip around the sun brings us.”
In return, Lauren also celebrated the big milestone telling her followers how thankful she is to be with her man. “I’m feeling more blessed than ever that I get to live each day with you,” she captioned the post. “You are an immeasurably incredible partner, and every time we look out into the night sky, I’m grateful we’ll greet and experience the next day together. It’s cheesy, it’s romantic, it’s true… I love you for all the right reasons — for the man you are through and through. Cheers to the future.”
Though Chris’ journey helping reality stars find love on The Bachelor is over, it seems like his journey to last happily ever after is just beginning. The posted moments between the two lovebirds are especially sweet and romantic, giving fans a little glimpse into what the duo have been up to during his hiatus. If you ask Bachelor Nation, it’s only a matter of time before Chris asks Lauren to accept his final rose.
