Arie Luyendyk Jr. Reveals What He Thinks His Life Would Be Like If He Wasn’t the Bachelor
Spilling the tea.
As Bachelor Nation fans know, Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham Luyendyk got engaged on Season 22 of “The Bachelor,” and the two later tied the knot in 2019.
Since then, they’ve welcomed three children: Alessi and twins Senna and Lux.
But during a recent Q&A on Instagram, a fan asked Arie what he thinks his life would look like right now if he hadn’t returned to the franchise and been the Bachelor.
Arie shared photos of him and Lauren from his season and wrote, “Honestly, I have no idea! Life before being the Bachelor wasn’t as fulfilling. It’s exactly what I needed at the time.”
He continued on, saying, “Plus, I continued my passions after the show and I gained a best friend and life partner. Win-win!”
How sweet!
Another fan asked Arie if there was any additional news about their family’s house in Maui after his first updates.
He said that luckily their house still hasn’t had any damage aside from a few trees burning down.
Arie said that his time visiting Maui a few weeks ago to help out was “very sad,” but he encouraged people to continue to support local businesses there, as “our friends on the island need your business!”
We’re so glad Arie was able to come back to “The Bachelor” and create the beautiful life he has with Lauren and their adorable family.
We’re continuing to think about everyone who has been affected by the fires in Maui and we’ve linked the Hawaii resource guide here for anyone hoping to get involved.
