It was just last week that we learned Javi Marroquin and Lauren Comeau are dating, but it seems the couple is wasting no time with a “getting to know one another” phase.
Despite living in different states, Javi and Lauren are rushing headlong into a serious relationship, zipping past the usual milestones at breakneck speed.
Though they met in person for the first time just a few days ago (Javi and Lauren had been communicating online), both parties have spoken to the press about their relationship, and both seem to agree that things are getting serious in a hurry.
Comeau has spoken about the unique challenges of their relationship, admitting that she and Javi are facing obstacles that most couples will never have to think about.
In addition to the long-distance issue (Lauren lives in South Carolina, Javi in Delaware.), there are the problems presented by fame, and the fact that Javi’s ex-wife, Kailyn Lowry, has an obsessive fan base that’s several million strong.
It’s not a situation that most young women will ever find themselves entering, and we imagine it has to be more than a little intimidating for Lauren.
Comeau opened up about Kailyn and the possibility of meeting her in a recent interview with OK! magazine:
“I’ll meet her when the time is right and they both think I need to,” Lauren told the tabloid.
“I haven’t really put much thought into it,” she added.
“I’m just trying to enjoy the excitement and newness [of our relationship].”
Lauren made sure to clarify that she has no intention of stepping on Lowry’s toes or attempting to take her place as a mother figure to Kailyn and Javi’s son, Lincoln.
“I 100 percent respect [Kail] as Lincoln’s mom, so when the time comes, I think it’ll go over just fine.”
Lowry might feel differently.
She has yet to publicly address Javi’s new relationship in direct fashion, but some fans believe she’s already made her feelings known.
The day Javi announced that he’d found love with Lauren, Kail tweeted:
“Today is not a good day. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.”
Could’ve been unrelated – could’ve been subtle shade.
