Over the years, The Bachelor franchise has given the viewers many couples to be envious of, but it seems as though fans have taken a liking towards Arie Luyendyk and Lauren Burnham's relationship. The couple met during Arie's season of the reality series in 2018. Lauren was a frontrunner from the beginning, but he sent her home during the final rose ceremony and proposed to Becca Kufrin instead. After a couple of months with Becca, Arie realized that he made a mistake, and that Lauren was actually the one for him.
Arie proposed to Lauren during his season's After The Final Rose special, and they quickly settled into life together. Less than a year after their engagement, the pair tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii surrounded by family and friends. A couple of months before their lavish wedding, the two announced that they were expecting their first child together. Lauren gave birth to their daughter, Alessi, in May 2019. Now, Arie and Lauren are expecting a set of twins and cannot wait to go from a family of three to a family of five.
According to a thread on Reddit, fans of The Bachelor have long been admiring the love story between Arie Luyendyk and Lauren Burnham. One fan admitted, "I binge their YouTube videos because their life seems picture perfect." They also included how successful they have become in their careers and how adorable their growing family is. Others agreed that this Bachelor couple did have the dream life, but wouldn't have jumped into marriage so quickly as they did. One viewer said, "[They] have the dream life but Lauren was about my age when she went on Bachelor, and no way I'm ready to be married. Maybe if my bf was an older man who was successful."
These fans also pointed out how, even though some viewers used to "hate on" Arie and Lauren's relationship, the couple has slowly become one of Bachelor Nation's favorite pairs. Many people who follow them on social media and watch the videos on their YouTube channel think that these two seem truly happy in their relationship. The fans have noticed that Arie and Lauren seem more genuine in comparison to some of the other couples from The Bachelor franchise. Overall, the life that they have built a life together in Arizona is something that many people dream of having: a beautiful home, a loving marriage, an adorable child, and twins on the way.
Arie and Lauren were not beloved by fans when they first started a life together like they are today. Viewers despised Arie for breaking off an engagement to continue a relationship with his runner-up. But now that the pair have started a family together, they have become one of the most loved and stable couples from The Bachelor.
