Pregnant Lauren Burnham Shows Off Her Baby Bump in a Parade of Itty-Bitty Bikinis
Showing and glowing! Lauren Burnham — who’s pregnant and expecting twins with husband Arie Luyendyk Jr. — took to Instagram on Thursday to flaunt her baby bump in a parade of tiny bikinis.
In a cute video clip, the gorgeous future mom of three — who already shares daughter Alessi, 21 months, with Arie — tries on an array of stylish swimsuits. “Twin pregnancy bikini haul,” Lauren captioned her post, noting that she will be sharing more of her mini fashion show in an upcoming YouTube video.

Lauren’s fun post comes as she and her spouse enjoy a romantic babymoon in Hawaii.
“Not on Temptation Island,” Arie wrote alongside a series of Instagram photos of himself swimming with Lauren. The Shades of Rose designer uploaded vacation pics via social media as well, calling herself a “happy girl” in the Aloha State.
Earlier this month, Lauren put her put her bump on display for a beautiful skin-baring maternity shoot, which she shared on Instagram. In her accompanying caption, the Bachelor Nation star reflected on the devastating miscarriage she experienced in 2020 and revealed how that memory has impacted her current pregnancy.
“This time around has been different to say the least,” she wrote. “The darkness that surrounds a loss is something not easily forgotten. the months of mourning, the months of hoping, to now, moments of worry.”
She added, “Even in the midst of something as beautiful as new life, that darkness finds its way in to remind me that it did in fact exist. It’s tarnished the blissful ignorance i gleefully experienced the first time around.”
However, Lauren went on to say that her struggles have only made her stronger — both mentally and physically.
“With all of that said, I’m proud of this body and what we’ve endured together. I’m proud of my second and third babies for growing so well and grateful for all the reminders they send me saying, ‘Mom, we’re OK,’” she continued. “I’m proud of my journey through the darkness, because without that, the light I see now wouldn’t shine quite so bright.”
Lauren and Arie announced in December that they are expecting twins to arrive in June or July. In January, the Scottsdale, Arizona-based couple — who fell in love with each other during Season 22 of “The Bachelor” in 2018 and wed less than a year later in Hawaii — revealed the sexes of their babies, a boy and a girl.
