Arie Luyendyk Jr. & Lauren Burnham Luyendyk Reveal the Name of Their Newborn Daughter
Days after revealing the name of their newborn son, Lux Jacob, Arie Luyendyk Jr. and wife Lauren Burnham Luyendyk shared the name of his twin sister: Senna James.
“senna james + lux Jacob,” Lauren wrote alongside an adorable photo of her babies napping together this Sunday on Father’s Day.

In his own post, Arie expressed his gratitude at welcoming Senna home following a brief NICU stay after the twins’ June 11 arrival.
“Best early Father’s Day gift, our baby girl is home!” the former Bachelor captioned a photo of himself holding his son and daughter. “Lauren surprised me this morning when she came home from the hospital with her.”

Last week, Arie and Lauren — who also share daughter Alessi, 2 — explained why Senna had to stay behind at the hospital for a bit.
“Poor baby girl, she needed oxygen but is doing much better now,” Arie wrote in an Instagram Story post, accompanied by a photo of his daughter attached to lifesaving tubes and machines.
The Bachelor Nation couple previously opened up about their baby girl’s respiratory challenges in a vlog detailing their twins’ birth.
“Babies transition really quickly during the first 12 hours of life,” a nurse told the Scottsdale, Arizona-based family. “Some babies need it for a couple days. Just depends. When the doctor comes back over and if she’s still needing respiratory support for a few more hours, she might get a chest X-ray just to see a better picture of what’s going on.”

Arie and Lauren welcomed their twins on June 11. “@Luyendyktwins are here!” Arie wrote on his Instagram Story at the time. “Momma and babies are doing great and everything went smoothly. Spending time cherishing these moments, thank you all for all the support.”
The pair — who tied the knot in January 2019 after falling in love on “The Bachelor” Season 22 — announced in December that Lauren was pregnant again following a devastating miscarriage in May 2020. Days later, they revealed that they were expecting two bundles of joy.
