I think there is a history of Helix/former Helix performers ending up with teenagers (Lane/Chad, Max/Silas). From what I know, Chad met Lane (real name is known) during the Helix book tour for Lane's book, "His Own Way Out", during a stop in Phoenix. Chad, knowing Lane was going to be at the book signing, and being a fan of Blake Mitchell, decided to go and they hit it off. Not sure if they hooked up right away, but Chad quickly moved in with Blake when he decided to move to LA; they shared a nice condo in Santa Monica.
When they first got together, and I think this is after Lane's then-girlfriend had a miscarriage, tons of people wanted to know if Chad would ever film for Helix. And Chad was adamant that he wouldn't film for anyone, let alone Helix. He had his hair-styling career and was happy. I guess he saw how much money he could make filming porn, especially when Blake signed with Cockyboys, and thus Leo Grande was born.
They have an open relationship - Chad is known to direct a ton of Lane's OF content. And they moved to Lexington last year when Lane decided to go back to school at Kentucky.
As for Lane himself... I found him to be a good performer, but outside of porn, he's quite lazy, preferring to spend his days playing Twitch.
