Arie and Lauren, who recently bought a house in Hawaii and will be moving there soon, announced Lauren is pregnant with twins in December 2020, not long after Lauren suffered a miscarriage in May of last year.
The couple announced in January 2021 they will be welcoming another daughter as well as a son, due to arrive in this June.
Lauren finished Arie's season of The Bachelor in second place when Arie actually chose Becca Kufrin as his winner and popped the question to her during the Final Rose Ceremony, which aired in March 2018.
But weeks after getting engaged, Arie decided to dump Becca because he claimed he was still in love with Lauren, and so he begged Lauren for a second chance.
