Arie Luyendyk Jr., aka Arie Luyendyk, is sharing a bit about his personal life!
The former The Bachelor contestant recently took to his Instagram handle to conduct a small Q&A session with his fans, where he spoke out a little about different things, including his present life with his family, aka his wife and children.
Luyendyk has been married to his now-wife, Lauren Burnham, since January 12, 2019. They met on The Bachelor season 22 and engaged on the show itself. Shortly after their wedding, May 29, 2019, they welcomed their first child, daughter Alessi.
In 2020, Burnham suffered a miscarriage; however, later, in December 2020, the married duo announced they were expecting their second child. Later, it was revealed that they were expecting twins. On June 12, 2021, they welcomed daughter Senna and son Lux.
Some months after the arrival of their twin children, Luyendyk and his wife jointly decided that Luyendyk would have a vasectomy. On February 1, 2022, the reality TV star uploaded a YouTube video revealing he got a vasectomy.
Fast forward to now, Luyendyk has answered the fan question regarding whether he would reverse his vasectomy. This happened during the above-mentioned Q&A session conducted by Luyendyk on his Instagram handle.
Firstly, one Instagram user askedThe Bachelor alum if his life at the moment was how he envisioned his future when he started his journey as the Bachelor. To the question, Luyendyk replied that he never thought that he would be this lucky.
His reply read, “I never thought in a million years I would be this lucky. Honestly, this is better than the future I had carved out in my mind. Lauren is everything and has also given me so much more to love with our three kids. I am forever grateful.”
Right after answering that fan question, Luyendyk answered another fan question regarding his vasectomy and if he would ever consider reversing the procedure. He replied by tagging his wife’s Instagram handle and writing, “Whatcha think Lauren?!”

As of this writing, it doesn’t seem like the Dutch-American auto racing driver’s wife has responded to her husband’s question over Instagram. On the other hand, a vasectomy reversal might not be the only way for Luyendyk and his wife if they want more children.
There is also an option of adoption, a choice regarding which the married couple has even opened up about in the past. While promoting their joint YouTube channel, Lauren & Arie, on February 18, 2022, the duo talked briefly about their options if they wanted more kids in the future.
The Shades of Rose designer stated, “I wasn’t necessarily ready to close that chapter yet just because I know it’s hard right now [with three kids under 3], but once we’re out of this space, I might want another one. Who knows?”
Burnham, a Virginia native, then mentioned that if they want more children in the future, they can “always adopt” or get Luyendyk’s vasectomy reversed. “They’re reversible if we have some heartaches in five years’ time,” Luyendyk chimed in.
“This is the first time we’ve ever really felt an age gap. She’s 30, and I have a little bit of a different outlook. I want to be a younger dad. I’m not a young dad, but I don’t want to be an even older dad than I am now,” he added.
Luyendyk continued his statement by claiming that the decision not to have more kids after welcoming three was based on his age. “Five years from now, I’ll be 45. I feel like that might be a little bit too late for me to be active with [babies],” he concluded his statement.
