Arie and Lauren, who fell in love on The Bachelor's 22nd season and have twins on the way, announced they are moving from their home in Scottsdale, Arizona to the island of Maui in a Friday social-media post.

"WE'RE MOVING TO HAWAII!" Arie captioned two photos of the pair standing in front of their new home.

The couple -- who just enjoyed a babymoon in Maui -- subsequently posted a video on their YouTube channel late last week in which they revealed they had closed on a house and received the keys.

Lauren and Arie proceeded to give fans a tour of their new house, which is not far from the ocean, in the eight-minute video.

"We have a house in Maui and we are moving to Maui!" Arie gushed in the YouTube clip, revealing the pair's decision was pretty spontaneous and somewhat random.

Arie added, "We are going to make so many memories here. We are going to have the best life. It's going to be the perfect spot to raise our little babies. It's going to be cool."

Lauren gushed about how she's always dreamed of having "little beach babies" and "little blonde babies running around in the sand." She therefore warned Arie it was too late to back out now.

"Lauren told me when we first got together, she said, 'I'm fine with living in Arizona as long as we can escape to the beach.' And so now, we bought a house in Hawaii and we're doing it!" Arie said. "This is like a dream for us, and we are really excited."

After Arie and his pregnant wife announced their big news, Arie posted a hilarious video of the couple reenacting Temptation Island's opening song in Hawaii, with Arie rubbing sand on himself and Lauren getting tossed in the waves.

"Now that secret is out welcome to #larieisland," Arie captioned his post.

Arie and Lauren -- who have been married for over two years and are already parents of a daughter named Alessi, who turns 2 next month -- revealed in January they are expecting a boy and another girl who are due in July 2021.

The couple gushed at the time about feeling "so happy" and "so lucky" to have twins on the way.

Arie and Lauren announced Lauren's second pregnancy in December 2020, not long after Lauren suffered a miscarriage in May of last year.

Arie proposed marriage to Lauren in March 2018 on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose after Season 22 aired on ABC. The couple then moved into their first home together in Phoenix, AZ, in April of that year.

The pair announced they were expecting their first child together in November 2018 and revealed two months later that Lauren was pregnant with a baby girl.

Arie and Lauren tied the knot at Haiku Mill in Maui, Hawaii in January 2019 and then welcomed Alessi on May 29, 2019.

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.

After Lauren decided to take Arie back, the couple got engaged live on television and started their life together.
