What Happens When a DIY Influencer Marries a Tech Guy? Inside Wild ‘Til 9’s Next Chapter

If you’ve been following Lauren Riihimaki (known as LaurDIY) and Jeremy Lewis‘s journey from dating to marriage on their podcast, Wild ‘Til 9, you know they’ve never shied away from getting real about relationships. Now, as they join forces with Dear Media, they’re diving even deeper and bringing on relationship pros like today’s guest: Dr. Kate, a sex therapist, author of What Happened To My Sex Life?, and host of Get Naked with Dr. Kate.

The move feels like a natural evolution for the couple, who’ve grown from sharing dating stories to navigating married life in front of an online audience. Lauren (who built her LaurDIY empire on crafting and lifestyle content) and Jeremy (an ex-frat president turned tech entrepreneur) have always balanced humor with authenticity, but this new chapter promises something more: real expertise alongside their raw honesty.

Watching their relationship unfold on the podcast feels like being in a group chat with your most entertaining friends. Lauren brings the sunshine-and-rainbows energy (and occasionally chaotic stories), while Jeremy drops in with perfectly timed dry humor and deep, often analytical, observations about relationships. They talk about everything from embarrassing dating stories to mental health to that weird thing that happened at brunch, and somehow make it all feel like you’re just hanging out in their living room. With this next chapter, they’re now adding a layer of expert-backed insight to those candid conversations about love, intimacy, and everything in between. It’s like watching your favorite couple grow up and get serious about relationships, while still keeping all the playful banter that made us fall in love with them in the first place.
