Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham recently made a heartwarming announcement about the gender of their fourth child. The couple, known for their time on The Bachelor, shared the news of expecting another baby girl through a joint gender reveal video posted on Instagram. Arie, 43, and Lauren, 33, involved their three children in the special moment, with daughter Alessi, 5, and twins Lux and Senna, 3, joining in the excitement.
In the video, Arie and Lauren popped black balloons to reveal pink confetti, confirming that they are adding another girl to their family. The couple shared the joyous news with their kids, who were thrilled to hear that they would have a little sister. The sweet moment was captured on camera as Burnham gave her husband a loving kiss to celebrate the occasion.
Their children also had a gender reveal of their own, dipping glasses into a cake with pink filling to mark the special announcement. The Bachelor Nation alums had announced their pregnancy in March after Arie underwent a vasectomy reversal last summer.
Lauren shared a post on Instagram in March, captioned “Our last missing piece,” showcasing her baby bump and revealing that their newest addition is expected to arrive in September. Arie had previously opened up about his decision to undergo a vasectomy reversal to expand their family, admitting that he felt they could handle having another child after watching their kids play together.
The couple’s journey to conceive their fourth child was not without challenges, as Arie had made the decision to undergo the procedure without consulting Lauren when their twins were just 6 months old. Despite the initial surprise, Lauren eventually agreed and supported her husband’s choice to try for another baby.
Reflecting on their growing family, Arie expressed his excitement at the prospect of adding another child to their brood. With their children at an ideal age, he felt confident that they could handle the responsibilities of parenting another child. The couple’s gender reveal video and pregnancy announcement have been met with an outpouring of love and support from fans and well-wishers as they eagerly await the arrival of their newest family member.
