Alessi Ren Luyendyk Photos: Bachelor's Arie, Lauren's 1st Child

Beloved Bachelor duo Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham have always been one of the cutest couples to come out of the franchise, and their daughter, Alessi Ren Luyendyk, is one of the cutest kids, too. Fans have gotten to watch her grow up since her birth in 2019 — and she was promoted to big sister in June 2021 with the arrival of Arie and Lauren’s twins!

After welcoming their first child in May 2019, the Bachelor alum confirmed that both mommy and baby were doing great. Within a few hours, the new mama had shared her daughter’s name — and the first photo of the little girl to boot. “Alessi Ren Luyendyk,” she gushed on Instagram beside a sweet photo. “Born May 29, 2019 @ 2:09pm. 6 lbs, 13 oz. 20 inches long. She is sweet, calm and @ariejr and I could not be more in love with her.” Before long, Arie posted his own photo of a special moment with his daughter. “This was first time she laid eyes on me and I’m forever changed,” he wrote. On his Instagram Stories, he featured a photo of Lauren and Alessi together.

“I’m so proud of you, @laureneburnham,” he captioned the shot. “You’re truly incredible and you did so good today.” Throughout Alessi’s delivery, they documented pretty much every step of the process. At 5 a.m. PST, the reality star let fans know that Lauren had gotten her epidural. By noon, he and his wife took turns guessing what they thought the baby’s weight, hair color, and eye color would be. At 3:30 p.m., Arie announced that he and his lady love had a “healthy, BEAUTIFUL baby girl.”

The couple’s sweet daughter made them want to continue growing their family. Sadly, things didn’t immediately go as planned. In May 2020, the duo revealed they had suffered a miscarriage in a heartbreaking video. “We made so many plans,” the couple wrote in the description. “We bought a new house with more space, we planned how we wanted to tell you all and we envisioned our future with Alessi’s little brother/sister. We were planning to share our journey through pregnancy with you, but, unfortunately, we didn’t get the happy story we had hoped for.”

Mere months later, the proud parents had happy news to share: Not one, but two, rainbow babies were on the way. “It’s hard to know what to say right now,” Lauren wrote next to a photo of Alessi wearing a “big sister” tee in December 2020. “I’ve been crying on and off for the past 3 months … right now is no different. So so grateful.” Arie and Lauren welcomed Alessi’s little siblings, a boy and a girl, in June 2021.
