Could these two be any cuter?!

The couple have been dating since 2014.

The pair began dating in 2014 after Lauren split amicably from her husband of two years Steve Basilone.

Lauren says she realised she was gay on the set of OINTB after being peppered with questions from cast members about her marriage.
