- Hey, how you doing? - Hey, what’s up?
Welcome to our home.
Welcome.
Why don’t you come on in and we’ll show you around.
Let’s show you the place.
All right, come on.
Come on!
This is our fur baby, Sparx.
Uh, he likes to greet people at the door.
Oh…
Uh oh.
He’s in a playful mood right now.
He’s got tons and tons of energy.
Yeah, he’s 9 months.
He’s a airedale.
And he’s a terrier, so…
He’s a little spoiled for attention, too.
We can’t do anything without you, Mr. Sparx.
But we don’t have a camera crew here.
It’s just Lauren and I but
that’s how it is Bonny and Clyde style.
So, we’re here in the living room.
As you can see, it’s a lot different than in the bachelor days.
More than just this couch, we’ve actually got curtains now.
We’ve got decorative pillows,
we’ve got roses on this
really awesome mirrored coffee table
that Lauren had in her apartment and she brought over, which I love.
Um, you know, she decorated the mantle.
So, it just feels a lot more homier
than it was when, you know, it was just me.
And I love that. You know, like,
’cause I never really know, like, how to decorate a home.
Like, I know how to get the bare essentials,
but I love the way that Lauren decorated the house,
and yeah, it’s just awesome.
When I first moved to Atlanta and I was living in
the place that you guys saw on the show, Buckhead.
That was, like, my first,
um, apartment, condo in Atlanta, so…
Here we go.
This is the dollhouse.
It’s kinda like this couch
meant a lot to me ’cause it was my first, like,
adult furniture purchase, this couch.
So, just seeing this, too,
it’s like little bits and pieces of our lives kinda coming together.
So, yeah,
bright red. My big personality, so, I love having this here.
This is actually one of our favorite places in the house.
This is where we eat.
This is where we watch TV.
This is where we play with the dog.
Yeah, so we’re always on this couch.
Yeah, I mean, it’s just our little sanctuary.
You know, it’s very comfortable.
We like to cuddle on here.
All of the above.
Plot, plan.
Oh yeah. All that stuff.
We’ve got a lot of things that, you know,
have this sort of sentimental touch to us.
This H out of corks my mom made.
You know, she’s super crafty.
This orchid,
my sister and her boyfriend gave us
on our wedding day, Lauren’s birthday.
Yeah, they did.
And so it’s still very much flourishing.
Yeah, it actually blooms around our wedding date, too,
my birthday, ’cause that’s when we got it.
All right, so what do we have to change, I guess, with
me moving in.
This is your place.
Well, it could be our place pretty soon.
- It could be. - Yeah.
- This is nice. I wanna explore. - Okay.
What was the hardest part about me moving in and blending,
I guess, spaces?
Yeah, I feel like
you just had a few things that you wanted to get rid of.
All your stuff?
All my stuff, obviously.
- It wasn’t all your stuff, babe. - That goes without saying.
- That’s not true. - Not all my stuff,
but the things that were tossed were my things.
- Not necessarily, see... - 100%
What I was thinking was that,
’cause, you know, when you merge lives,
you have two different sets of things, you know…
- Right, right. - Two sets of plates,
- Right. - two sets of mugs…
Two sets of dishes,
and this house just isn’t big enough for all that to be stored,
- all that. - And of the two things…
- I wanted to… - Guess whose things got tossed?
No, I said that we should keep the stuff that’s in
better condition, the stuff that looks a little bet—,
that’s not chipped or…
looks…
a little…
you know…
like it needs, it’s time to go.
Now, did we throw away anything that was yours?
Yes, babe. I did throw away things that were mine.
I still see those fish plates in there.
Well, they’re in good shape.
All right, let’s go upstairs.
Before we go upstairs,
I want to show you something real quick on the staircase.
So, we’ve got all these awesome supporters and
some of them are kind enough
to make these really awesome fan drawings
or pieces of art for us.
And this particular drawing is one of our favorites.
Fans sent it to us and it just captures, you know,
one of the best moments of my life.
- Just so beautiful. - Mine, too.
Yeah.
- Our first kiss. - So… Yeah, oh my gosh.
I still think about that day all the time.
So, we’re just so blessed to have
people who care enough about our love story
to do this type of thing for us.
And you know, I think going down the stairs every morning,
I just love to see it, ’cause it kind of reminds me —
not that I need more reminding —
but it reminds me of the blessings that we’ve had.
And yeah, just love it.
This is where the magic happens. That’s what everyone says, right?
Welcome to our bedroom.
Welcome to our bedroom, guys.
’Course you guys saw this on the show.
The master. This is freaking big, Cameron — for just you.
- Hopefully not for too long. - You’ve anticipated…
Not too much has changed.
We got this lovely bedding.
Ooh yeah.
I love doing that actually. I’m such a big kid.
- It’s fun. - ’Cause I feel like, you know,
when you’re younger…
your parents tell you don’t jump on the bed.
Right.
So, something about being an adult and just
coming and belly flopping
on your comfortable, beautiful linens that is so gratifying.
This is me and Cam’s favorite spot to, uh, read.
We actually love this porch up here
because we get to survey the whole neighborhood.
- Right. Right. - See everything and everybody.
So it’s great, but, uh,
what conversation did we have up here, babe?
So, we were talking about you moving in…
- Right. - And…
What’s now my office and that possibly being a baby’s room.
Yes.
I’m getting flashbacks here.
This home is beautiful.
You have plenty of space for me in here.
It’s so crazy, like, just,
like, seeing this and thinking about the future and, like,
oh, this could be a kid’s room.
I remember that day very well.
It was, like,
one of the days where it all became…
- Real. - Even more realer than it was.
I mean, the wedding was coming up.
And we were, you know, just eagerly anticipating it,
but there were still a lot of questions
that we both had for each other.
- And… - That we’re trying to answer.
Now here we are together,
living here as husband and wife for what—
- A year and a half. - What?
Almost a year and a half now.
I would show you guys my closet, but…
Yeah, no closet seeing.
No.
But, maybe when we move into our next place,
I’ll show you guys ’cause it will be…
way more…
no!
You opened it, though.
No.
This is where all those plans take place.
As I said earlier, you can see I actually...
Lauren’s turned me on to candles now.
Got my incense holder.
Um, there’s a little note here on the blackboard that
Lauren wrote for me.
Pretty much I think it was, like, the month that we got married.
Yeah, when I first moved in. Aw, you still got that.
- I never erased it. So… - That’s cute babe.
Yeah.
So, this is the mad scientist laboratory. Let me get a pan.
Sure.
Mwahahahaha.
Something new that kind of got added to my framed collection...
- is our marriage certificate. - Uh oh, there it is.
- It’s legal, people. - It’s very legal.
Yeah, you know, I was just so proud that we got married that,
like, that was one of the first things I wanted to do
was frame my marriage certificate.
I don’t know if that’s weird, but…
- No, it’s not weird, babe. - it means a lot to me, so…
All right, guys.
Time for the other mad scientist’s laboratory.
That’s right.
Mwahahaha.
Take a look at this pic, guys.
My dad actually brought this over maybe like a couple months ago.
And it is from when I actually met Tina Turner
when I was about, maybe,
I would say 7 or 8.
And it was great.
She was so nice and she told me I was a star.
I’ll never forget that.
She was like, “You’re a star, young lady.”
I was like, “I love ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It!’”
So, my dad brought this over and I keep this to remind me.
Oh and this is black Jesus.
I actually received this from Adult Swim.
I did a show there when we were doing press
and they gave me this goody bag and this is one of the things,
and I was like, “Yes, black Jesus.”
My parents, when they first got married,
they planted two trees in their backyard.
They were just little saplings.
Now, they’re huge, the size of the house.
So, that’s kind of what I had in mind
when I gave Lauren that plum tree back in the pods.
I’m just happy to see it maturing now.
All right, guys!
We had so much fun having you guys over.
That’s right.
And thank you so much for coming, for putting up with the dog.
He says bye.
You know, yeah, that’s his way of saying bye.
He’s very emphatic about it.
Anyways, we had so much fun having you here for guests.
And we really hope you come back here soon.
You know, anything else to say, babe?
Well, you know what they say, you don’t gotta go home
but you gotta get the heck out of here.
See you guys.
All right, see you guys, bye!
Bye!
