Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s Wife Lauren Burnham Gives Birth, Welcomes 4th Baby

by

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham have a rosy family update. 

The couple from season 22 of *The Bachelor* announced the arrival of their fourth child, a baby girl, on September 18th, and shared the first pictures of her.

Lauren, age 33, announced the birth of her daughter, Livvy Rowe Luyendyk, in a September 22nd Instagram post. She wrote, ‘Love you our sweet little angel girl!’

They shared the news with pictures taken at the hospital, showing both parents holding their baby, Livvy. She was wrapped in a blanket and wearing a pink bow in her dark brown hair.

Lauren shared a sweet photo on Instagram of herself cuddling her new baby, expressing how much she loves her ‘little gal.’ She also mentioned her other children – 6-year-old Alessi and 4-year-old twins Senna and Lux – and said she feels incredibly blessed.

Becoming parents to four children wasn’t a straightforward journey for the couple. They originally planned to stop at twins, and Arie even had a vasectomy in 2022. So, they were surprised when their family grew again!

Lauren explained in a February YouTube video that he’d made her believe they were done with whatever issue they were facing. She said she accepted this and moved on.

Arie, now 44, later regretted getting a vasectomy. He explained that after his twins were born, he felt he’d made the decision too quickly. “Looking back, I think it was my fault,” he said. “The early days with the twins were really tough.”

And it was one of the twins who helped convince her dad that their family wasn’t yet complete.

“It was really Senna, honestly,” Arie admitted to TopMob News in June. “She was just so cute.”

He observed that by age three, the twins had become quite easy to manage. He explained it had reached a point where parenting them wasn’t very difficult anymore.

He continued. “I just love that age so much that I was like, ‘Can we do another one?'”

Arie says Lauren has decided she’s done having children after this pregnancy. He explained that this pregnancy has been particularly difficult for her, and she’s made a firm decision about not trying for another baby.

Four, he said, “is a good number.”

“I think any more than that is kind of crazy,” he added. “That’s, like, a basketball team.”

Since Arie proposed to Lauren on *After the Final Rose*, they’ve built a wonderfully happy life together. Want to see how other couples from *The Bachelor* are doing? Read on to find out…

Status: Engaged

Spencer Conley, who made a good impression on Jenn Tran with his friendly personality on *The Bachelorette*, found a connection on season 10 of *Bachelor in Paradise*. He shared a post with Jess Edwards (who previously tried to win over Joey Graziadei on *The Bachelor*) hinting that they were falling in love-a typical way of saying they weren’t ready to say “I love you” just yet. In an August 2025 Instagram Story, Spencer playfully declared he’d “already won.”

Jess also expressed her excitement online, writing that she was feeling happy about Spencer. The couple chose their relationship over a $250,000 prize, and were thrilled to get engaged and receive an unexpected check for $190,000. Jess shared that everything they had experienced together led them to this special moment. She’s now planning to move to Dallas to be with Spencer.

Bailey Taylor Brown declared on Instagram in August 2025 that her date with Jeremy Simon was the best first date she’d ever had, following their time on the tenth season of *Paradise*. But could it also be their last? Bailey, who originally competed for Grant Ellis’ affection, and Jeremy, who almost won over Jenn on *The Bachelorette*, managed to navigate a particularly difficult disagreement when Bailey discovered Jeremy had hesitated about sending Susie Evans home.

Despite this, their connection grew stronger in Costa Rica. Though they were eliminated during the *Bachelor in Paradise* finale, they continued dating privately. The show later revealed they had already met each other’s families and were making plans to live in the same city.

It looks like things are still going strong between Andrew Spencer, from Katie Thurston’s season of *Paradise*, and Alexe Godin, who was on Grant’s season. Just six days after Andrew called Alexe “my love” on Instagram in August 2025, she returned the sweet sentiment, calling him “my darling.”

Although they chose a relationship over the $250,000 prize on the *BiP* finale, they still each received $125,000.

“This is incredible,” Alexe exclaimed. “I’m leaving with money, but more importantly, I’m leaving with love.”

The show then revealed that Alexe plans to move to Chicago with Andrew, bringing their relationship to the Windy City.

Kat and Dale faced a difficult situation during the *Bachelor in Paradise* finale when Sean McLaughlin claimed Kat had been secretly communicating with an ex-boyfriend through letters and a laptop. Kat, however, denied contacting him while on the show, explaining that she and her ex still had a connection before arriving because she didn’t expect to find someone new.

Although Kat and Dale didn’t make it to the final rose ceremony, their relationship continued to grow. After the show, they traveled the U.S. together and started making plans for the future, including moving closer to each other. Kat was originally on Zach Shallcross’ season of *The Bachelor*, and Dale appeared on Clare Crawley’s season of *Bachelor in Paradise*.

Dale wrote under Kat’s August 2025 Instagram post that things were difficult at times, but they got through it together, and he wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

Status: Just friends—for now 

After leaving season 10 of *Bachelor in Paradise*, Gary Levingston and Leslie Fhima (who was a finalist on *Golden Bachelor*) seemed optimistic about their future together, even sharing a video about creating new memories. However, Leslie, who once inspired musician Prince, isn’t certain she wants to pursue a romantic relationship with Gary.

She shared that she and Gary talk constantly. Appearing on *Bachelor Happy Hour* in August 2025, she described him as one of her closest friends – someone she can always rely on for support and advice. They’re always there for each other and have each other’s backs.

Even though they live far apart – she’s in Minnesota and he’s in California – she’s still optimistic about their connection. She explained that, for her, the most important part of any relationship, especially a romantic one, is building a strong friendship first. She wants to be with someone she considers her best friend as they both get older.

Kim Buike, a frontrunner on *Golden Bachelorette*, has found love with Faith Martin, who received the first impression rose from Gerry Turner. Despite being eliminated on season 10 of *Paradise*, the pair are still together. In August 2025, Faith shared a video on Instagram showing Kim enjoying a date with her in Washington.

After being eliminated from Paradise, Faith raved about her partner, saying they were a wonderful person. Kim added that while they might not know if they’ll be together forever, they’ve formed a strong bond and plan to continue building their relationship outside of the show.

Grant initially connected with twenty-five women on *The Bachelor*, but ultimately chose Juliana Pasquarosa. Unfortunately, the couple broke up less than three months after their engagement was shown on television.

Grant announced on Instagram on June 13th that he and Juliana have decided to break up. He explained that they both tried their best and cared deeply for each other, but after careful consideration, they realized they weren’t compatible for a lasting relationship.

I was so thrilled to watch Joan on *The Golden Bachelor* and then even more excited when she became the very first *Golden Bachelorette*! It was amazing seeing her journey, and I absolutely screamed when she got engaged to Chock! They’re such a lovely couple, and I’m so happy for them both.

During the November 2024 finale of *The Golden Bachelorette*, Joan shared a message of hope, saying, “We’re proof that even later in life, things can still work out.” Just before Chock proposed in Bora Bora, she told him, “I’ve waited for this moment, in this beautiful place, to tell you I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you-waking up with you every morning and kissing you goodnight.”

At the end of season 21 of *The Bachelorette*, it seemed like Jenn Tran, who previously appeared on *The Bachelor*, had found love with her final choice, Devin Strader. However, during the *After the Final Rose* special in September 2024, Jenn shared that Devin became distant as soon as filming ended.

Jenn explained to Jesse Palmer that he dramatically declared his love for her one day, then completely changed his tune the next, denying he’d ever felt that way. She said all the loving promises he’d made had suddenly disappeared.

The situation escalated when Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram explaining his perspective. In the video, he took responsibility for his actions and detailed the reasons behind the breakup, which he had originally discussed in a 15-minute phone call.

Jenn said he ended their relationship during a phone call in August, but he insists she pressed him about what was happening while he was trying to tell her in person.

Honestly, I was really hoping to tell her face-to-face, but she pushed me to just get it out there. It felt like I didn’t have much choice in the matter, you know? I was put on the spot, and I just reacted.

Jenn then met Sasha Farber while competing on *Dancing With the Stars*, and the two began a romantic relationship. They continued dancing together even after being eliminated from the show in October 2024, but eventually broke up in 2025.

Greg Grippo, who appeared on Katie Thurston’s season of *The Bachelorette*, started dating Victoria Fuller from *Bachelor in Paradise* in November 2022. They announced their relationship on the season eight finale of *Bachelor in Paradise*, but Greg shared in April 2024 that they had broken up.

Before Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo revealed they were dating on the season finale of *Bachelor in Paradise*, Victoria had broken up with her fellow cast member, Johnny DePhillipo, ending their engagement.

Gerry and Theresa Nist got engaged in November 2023 on the first season finale of *The Golden Bachelor*. They then married in a televised ceremony in January 2024. They are now divorced.

However, three months after their nuptials, the couple announced that they were breaking up.

Gerry and Theresa have been having open and honest conversations about their relationship and living arrangements. During an appearance on *Good Morning America* in April 2024, Gerry announced that they have mutually decided to get a divorce.

They reached a divorce settlement in June 2024, according to court records reviewed by TopMob News.

In April 2025, Gerry shared on the *Bachelor Happy Hour* podcast that he was seeing someone and things were progressing nicely.

Tennis star Joey has found his life partner! After dating 32 women, he proposed to project manager Kelsey Anderson in March 2024. He told Kelsey, “I can’t wait another minute to tell you that I love you,” before asking her to marry him. Joey explained that Kelsey’s positive energy made him incredibly happy, a feeling he’d never experienced before. He shared that meeting her showed him just how wonderful life could be, and he knew he wanted to build a beautiful future with her.

John Henry Spurlock, a contestant from Charity Lawson’s season of *The Bachelor*, and Kat Izzo, who competed for Zach Shallcross’s affection, found a connection on season nine of *Bachelor in Paradise*, but not until halfway through the season. John Henry proposed with a Neil Lane diamond, telling Kat she was everything he was looking for. However, shortly after the season finale aired, the couple announced their split. They explained in a joint social media post that their differing career goals led them to realize they weren’t a long-term match, but they were thankful for the support they received from family, friends, and fans of *The Bachelor* franchise.

Eliza Isichei, who previously dated Clayton Echard, is engaged! Despite feeling anxious about finding love again after her time on *Paradise*, she happily said yes when Aaron Bryant proposed by the ocean. She was especially touched that Aaron asked her mother for her blessing, admitting she was so emotional she couldn’t control what she said.

However, the couple revealed in December 2023 that they’ve decided to end their engagement. They shared that while watching the show back was difficult, they are parting ways with positivity and respect for each other.

Despite previously expressing disappointment that her boyfriend, Aven Jones, hadn’t proposed in the traditional way – something he had apparently been ready to do on *The Bachelorette* with Rachel Recchia – Kylee Russell accepted his proposal to try and make their relationship work after *Paradise*. Although she had a special engagement gown planned, she felt she needed to follow her heart, believing that love requires taking chances.

However, just two days after the show’s finale aired in December 2023, Kylee revealed on Instagram that the relationship had ended due to Aven’s infidelity. Aven later apologized, admitting he had made significant mistakes and hurt Kylee deeply.

Charity Lawson is thrilled with how her season of *The Bachelorette* ended! She hinted to TopMob News that things were going well, but that was an understatement considering the romantic finale. Dotun Olubeko, an integrative medicine specialist, proposed to Charity, a child and family therapist, getting down on one knee and asking her to make their “perfect” love story a reality.

Although they’re planning a wedding for 2025 or 2026, Charity won’t be waiting long to shine – she’s also joining the cast of *Dancing With the Stars*! Dotun surprised her with the news on *The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose*, knowing how much she loves to dance and how excited she was about the opportunity.

 

Zach Shallcross proposed to Kaity Biggar at the end of season 27 in March 2023, despite some difficulties during the Fantasy Suites. He told her, “I am so in love with you. You are my world. The love I feel for you is something I could have never imagined.” In July 2023, the couple, who are based in Texas, announced they had moved in together on Instagram.

I was so thrilled when they finally tied the knot on May 23, 2025! Kaity described it as a sweet, intimate chapel ceremony, and she actually downsized from a bigger wedding. She explained on *Bachelor Happy Hour* that she realized a huge celebration wasn’t necessary. She felt the most important thing was to focus on their love and connection, and she’d gotten too caught up in the small details. It was such a refreshing perspective, and perfectly *them*.

However, one thing especially impressed her. The aunt who signed her up to compete for Zach’s affection discovered the charming chapel near Austin where they had their wedding. Kaity explained, “It was absolutely perfect.”

As a lifestyle expert, I always keep an eye on Bachelor Nation, and sadly, Danielle Maltby and Michael Allio have called it quits. Many of us were rooting for them – they met on *Bachelor in Paradise* and seemed like a perfect match! Danielle, who’s faced heartbreak in the past, and Michael, a devoted single dad to his son James, really seemed to be building something special. Danielle even moved from Nashville to Ohio to be with him. But about a year later, they decided to go their separate ways. Michael shared on a recent podcast that sometimes, even when there’s love, people just aren’t compatible, and that loss of a future you imagined is truly painful. It’s a reminder that even seemingly perfect connections can end, and it’s okay to mourn that loss.

As a lifestyle expert, I always find it bittersweet when couples who find love on reality TV navigate their relationships in the real world. Brandon Jones and Serene Russell seemed so promising! He proposed to her on *Paradise*, declaring his love would last a lifetime. Sadly, just five months after their engagement aired, they announced their split. They shared that trying to work through things privately, with so much public attention, was incredibly difficult. It was clearly a painful decision for both of them, and they asked for kindness, which I think is so important. It just goes to show that even when things *look* perfect, relationships require a lot of work, and sometimes, despite the love, it’s not enough.

Pilot Rachel and contractor Tino Franco ended their engagement after he kissed someone else while their season of the show was still airing. Tino later admitted on the podcast *The Viall Files* that he deeply regrets his actions. He said he feels ashamed and wishes he could have handled the situation differently, adding that it continues to bother him.

Susie Evans and Clayton Echard’s relationship, which began on the 2022 season of *The Bachelor*, had a complicated journey. After Susie initially turned Clayton down during the finale, they briefly reconnected, but ultimately broke up six months later. Susie, a videographer based in Los Angeles, explained the split was necessary for her own well-being. In a November 2022 blog post, she shared that she hadn’t been thriving and felt disconnected from her true self, despite having some happy times with Clayton. She emphasized the breakup was for the right reasons, as those close to her noticed she wasn’t her usual vibrant self.

Susie then dated Justin Glaze from Bachelor Nation, but they ended their relationship in August 2024.

Michelle, an elementary school teacher from Minnesota, accepted a proposal from Nayte Olukoya, a sales executive from Texas, on a reality show and received $200,000 towards a future home. However, the couple ultimately split six months after the show’s finale in December 2021, realizing they weren’t a good long-term match. Nayte later admitted on the podcast *The Viall Files* that while their relationship had many issues and disagreements, breaking up over text was a mistake. Michelle later began dating Jack Leius in 2023, and they became engaged the following year, marrying in Minnesota in June 2025.

Fans were really hoping to see Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian build a future together, picturing cozy Sunday mornings as a couple. However, the *Bachelor in Paradise* season seven pair only lasted a few months. In a joint statement released in January 2022, Maurissa (who previously dated Peter Weber) and Riley (a former suitor on Tayshia Adams’ season) announced they were breaking up. They explained that they both needed to focus on personal growth and hadn’t anticipated this outcome.

Status: Split

The first same-sex couple to get engaged on *Bachelor in Paradise* – during season six – revealed their breakup in 2019 on Halloween.

We’ve always cared deeply for each other, and making the best decision for both of us has always been our top priority. With love and sadness, we’ve decided to take a break and focus on ourselves. We believe this is the right step for our individual growth and future well-being, even though it’s difficult.

Despite a breakup during season seven of *Bachelor in Paradise*, Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer realized they were meant to be together. The couple, who initially settled in San Diego, recently bought a house in Noah’s hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Abigail shared on Instagram in July 2023 that they’re excited to start this new chapter, hinting at wedding planning. Noah proposed to Abigail in August 2023 at a beach house in San Diego.

Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile, who first gained attention on *The Bachelor* and *Bachelor in Paradise*, surprised everyone by getting legally married at City Hall in October 2022. They had gotten engaged a year earlier and were already planning a larger wedding for September 2023. Serena, now co-host of the *Bachelor Happy Hour* podcast with Joe, shared the news with a playful message: ‘We are still having a wedding this September but who doesn’t want to get married twice!’ Joe, known as the grocery store owner from Chicago, originally appeared on Becca Kufrin’s season in 2018.

Kenny Braasch proposed to Mari Pepin with a Neil Lane diamond ring during the 2021 finale of *Paradise*, telling her, “I am so in love with you and can’t imagine my life without you.” Mari, who first appeared on *The Bachelor* and captured Matt’s attention, relocated from Maryland to Kenny’s hometown of Chicago to start their life together. Before their November 2023 wedding-a 65-person ceremony held on a beach in Puerto Rico-the couple solidified their bond with matching tattoos during a trip to the Bahamas in May 2023. Kenny had previously been eliminated from *Paradise* by Tayshia Adams in week five.

Becca Kufrin, who starred on *The Bachelorette*, and Thomas Jacobs, a contestant from Katie Thurston’s season, found love on season seven of *Bachelor in Paradise* in 2021. They briefly split up during filming but got back together after the show ended.

In May 2022, they announced their engagement, revealing that Becca had proposed. She told TopMob News that she hoped their decision would encourage others to break with tradition. Thomas returned the gesture by proposing to her in October of the same year. In September 2023, they welcomed their son, Benson, with Becca sharing on Instagram how overwhelmed they were with love for him.

Just weeks after Benson’s birth, the couple had a surprise wedding ceremony on October 13th.

Status: Split

In the 2021 finale of *The Bachelorette*, Katie got engaged to Blake Moynes. They initially connected and expressed their feelings for each other during a memorable date that included paintball, a relaxing soak in a cowboy tub, and a heartfelt conversation under the night sky.

Blake proposed to Katie by getting down on one knee and telling her he wanted to support her dreams and be with her always. He said she deserved everything good in life.

Just three months after getting engaged, the couple announced they were breaking up. In a joint statement, they said they cherished the time they spent together this past year, but realized they weren’t right for each other long-term and that going their separate ways was the kindest thing to do. She has since married comedian Jeff Arcuri.
