Did Unexpected stars Lilly Bennett and Lawrence Bishop finally get married? The couple’s wedding has been a topic of discussion since Season 5, and now Lilly is ready to take the plunge. So, did they manage to tie the knot or are they still holding out? Read on to find out the current status of their relationship.
Lilly Bennett has been in a relationship with Lawrence Bishop since 2019, and she returned to Unexpected in Season 4. Previously, she appeared on the show in Season 1 with her then-boyfriend, Jason Kennedy. As a pregnant teenager, Lilly hoped that Jason would be there for her, but her intuition told her otherwise. After giving birth to their daughter, Aaliyah, their relationship didn’t last, and she left the show. Eventually, she met Lawrence Bishop, and they fell in love.
In Season 4, Lilly and Lawrence discovered they were expecting a son and rejoined Unexpected. Lawrence proposed, and they welcomed their son, LJ. As time went on, Lilly faced challenges in balancing motherhood and maintaining their home. Towards the end of Season 5, they began looking at wedding venues. However, the costs were high, causing Lawrence to feel apprehensive. While he wanted to marry Lilly, he didn’t want to go broke in the process. Now, in Season 6, Lilly wants to get married within three months, but Lawrence is urging her to slow down. So, did they make it to the altar?
It appears that they did. A post from @everything_tlc_unexpected on March 22, 2023, stated the following:
“So now that Lilly & Lawrence have OFFICIALLY tied the knot last weekend, and production has wrapped on filming the final big event, let’s hope that means we’ll be getting a Season 6 premiere date sooner than later! 🤞”
However, the anticipated premiere date did not materialize, and there were rumors that the delay was due to Jenna Ronan. Some believed that TLC wanted to capture the birth of Jenna’s child and use it as the season finale. Jenna gave birth in November, but the new season didn’t begin until Monday, June 3rd, 2024.
The Finale
Lilly Bennett and Lawrence Bishop’s wedding was likely intended to serve as the Unexpected Season 6 finale. It is now uncertain if Jenna Ronan’s birth will take its place. Nevertheless, fans were thrilled to learn that Lilly and Lawrence had officially tied the knot. Many expressed their excitement and congratulated the couple. Additionally, Lilly’s mother, Kim, and her longtime partner, Glenn, also got married, spreading even more love within the family.
