What Dreams Are Made Of! Alessi Luyendyk Got to Ride an Actual Unicorn for Her Birthday
Alessi Luyendyk celebrated her second birthday early by living out her fairy-tale princess fantasy.
Yes, the adorable daughter of Bachelor Nation couple Lauren Burnham Luyendyk and Arie Luyendyk Jr. marked another turn around the sun by enjoying a ride upon every little girl’s favorite mythical creature. (Our inner toddler is extremely jealous.)
“happy early bday to my little butterfly princess. last one as an only child so had to do it up,” Lauren wrote in a Saturday Instagram post, accompanied by a slideshow of photos from Alessi’s dreamy fete at her family’s home in Scottsdale, Arizona — which featured tons of sparkle, pink and purple balloons, a gorgeous cake, and, most importantly, a unicorn.
Indeed, this year will be Alessi’s last birthday sans siblings. (She officially turns 2 on May 29.) Lauren — who is pregnant and expecting twins with Arie — is anticipating the arrival of a son and daughter in June.
During a recent interview with Us Weekly, Lauren — who announced her pregnancy in December following a devastating miscarriage in May 2020 — said that she can’t wait to see Alessi step into her new role as a big sister.
“I took her to her first ultrasound with me this weekend. It was fun for her to see that the lady had the ultrasound machine on my stomach, and then she could see the baby on the screen,” the future mom of three said. “I think that maybe helped her put two and two together a little bit more. She’s always talking to them, like, ‘Hi, you baby,’ and kissing them. It’s really cute.”
