So, how does Lainey balance her professional life with a relationship?

"You have to definitely carve out the time," she told People. "It has to be something that you're very aware of, and you're like, 'Okay, I've got a day off here in 10 days. I've got to dedicate that day to spend time with my person.'

She continued, "And we both need that and deserve that, and it's always great. We just try to soak up those moments as best as we possibly can."

Lainey went on to describe Devlin as her "best friend" and " biggest cheerleader," before adding, "He is one of the purest hearts and people that I have ever met."
