Speaking to The Wall Street Journal's WSJ Magazine, she explained: "Living with Jeff is like having a master class every day.

What else is Lauren working on?
Lauren is reportedly set to release a children's book called 'Flynn, The Fly Who Flew,' later this year. Her beau Jeff has been with her every step of the way. Speaking to WSJ magazine, she said: "We love to be together, and we love to work together. He's helping me with the book. He's getting his pilot's license. We fly together. We work out together. We're together all the time."
