Country star Lauren Alaina recently broke off her engagement to long-time boyfriend, Alex Hopkins. But just four months after her 6-year relationship came to a devastating halt, Alaina has announced that she’s now dating Christian comedian John Crist.
The beaming 24-year-old blushingly revealed her new love interest on “The Bobby Bones Show” this Wednesday. After several months of suffering great loss, including the death of her stepfather as well as a broken engagement, Crist has given the country singer a reason to smile again.
“When people ask us we say we are (together), but we’re not announcing it,” said Alaina prior to revealing the big news.
In prime 2019 fashion, the couple met via Instagram.
It all started when Alaina left a comment on one of Crist’s videos.
Crist jokingly remarked that the reason the two are together is [that] Alaina had a blue checkmark by her name. The comedian admitted he had not heard of the country artist, but thanks to a little Wikipedia creeping, he was able to connect the dots.
