Arie Luyendyk Reveals Why Daughter Senna Is the Reason He & Lauren Are Having Another Baby

Spilling the tea...

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham Luyendyk got engaged on Season 22 of “The Bachelor.”

Since then, the two have gotten married and welcomed three children: Alessi and twins Senna and Lux.

And earlier this year the couple announced that they are currently expecting another baby girl! 

Now, Arie is opening up to “E! News” about why their daughter Senna is the reason he and Lauren decided to have another baby. 

Originally, the two Bachelor Nation stars had decided they were done having kids after bringing home their twins and having three kids under 3 years old. 

“Such a challenging age,” Arie reflected, “[Alessi] was just starting to communicate with us. And I still feel like there’s a little bit of guilt for us at that point, because a lot of the attention had to go towards the twins.”

But once all three kids got a little older, Arie started changing his mind and wishing for another baby. 

“It was really Senna, honestly. She was just so cute,” Arie admitted. “It’d gotten to the point where it just wasn’t as challenging… And I just love that age so much that I was like, ‘Can we do another one?’“

The soon-to-be dad of four continued and shared, “Not to take anything away from Lux… Lux is cute, too, but, you know, Senna with the way that she talks and stuff, it’s just so sweet. And she’s such a daddy’s girl that she definitely convinced me that we should have another one.”

Arie also expressed how much he and Lauren are enjoying this phase of life and how excited they are for their fourth and final baby. 

“This phase is so incredible, and that’s why we’re having another one, because it’s so enjoyable,” he said. “They’re a little bit more independent, and it’s such a freedom that we didn’t have when they were newborns that we feel we have our lives back.”

So exciting! We are so happy for the entire Luyendyk family and can’t wait to meet their baby girl in September.
