"At some point I'm sure that's going to happen," Chris told ET. "But I think early in our relationship we'll keep going the way that we are and we'll see what happens."

But the romance is definitely not at a standstill, as Chris revealed he and Lauren will soon be living in the same city.

"She is moving to Nashville. That's going to be a big step for us," Chris revealed of Lauren, who previously said she loves being a California girl and living near friends and family.

"It all kind of happened, I guess, pretty rapidly, but in a good way. We're both a little bit older, so I think sometimes when you're older you know what you want and it's easier to move along a lot faster."

Chris even said Lauren is on his mind when writing love songs and lyrics.

"I definitely have a new inspiration in my life that I've never had before," Chris gushed. "So [there's] a much different feeling inside my heart when I go into a writing room."

The country singer will be embarking on two upcoming tours, according to ET, one with Dan + Shay and another with Brad Paisley.

News of Lauren's move to Nashville comes days after Ben Higgins introduced his new girlfriend, Jessica Clarke, to the world.
