Two Bachelor alumni are in paradise!
Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham are expecting a baby, a rep confirms to PEOPLE.
On his season of The Bachelor, Luyendyk popped the question to Becca Kufrin before realizing that runner-up Burnham was the one for him. After calling it quits with Kufrin, he proposed to Burnham on the After the Final Rose special in March.
“I’ve made some bad decisions but the best decision was running back to you,” he told Burnham during the proposal. “I can’t imagine a life without you. … I truly believe you are my soulmate. I’m ready to face this life with you and all that comes with it. The good, and the bad. I love you so much.”
In May, the couple announced on The View that they had decided on a January 12, 2019, wedding in Maui, Hawaii. The next month, they bought a house together in Phoenix, Arizona.
In August, Burnham toasted to her nuptials at her bridal shower, and in September, the whirlwind romance continued as Luyendyk shared a peek at his and Burnham’s save-the-date card.
“We’re just really happy with each other, and we vibe well together,” Burnham said on The View. “We’re best friends, so we’re just ready for that next step.”
This is not the couple’s first pregnancy announcement. On April Fool’s Day, Luyendyk faced backlash for pretending that Burnham was expecting.
