After dealing with a miscarriage in 2020, Bachelor stars Arie and Lauren Luyendyk are now expecting not just one rainbow baby, but two! Lauren is pregnant with twins, and as would be expected, her bump is growing super quickly to make room for her two babies. Lauren was an adorable pregnant woman the first time around when she had her daughter Alessi, and she's no less stylish now. Her maternity wardrobe is out of this world.
Lauren and Arie are also seemingly always having fun on Instagram. They're doing couples' yoga, dressing alike, spending time outdoors together, and more. So now just add an adorable baby belly to that, and it makes for some super cute bump shots.
We've rounded up 20 of the best belly photos Lauren and Arie have posted so far. And keep an eye on their Instagrams to see their journey to having twins this July.
Family Hike
Lauren had only just started showing in her athleisure when she and Arie took a post-Christmas hike with their daughter Alessi. "Managed to get all 5 of us in the pic," Arie captioned the photo, referencing the fact that Lauren's carrying their twins. Since she's pregnant with two babies, it wasn't long before that bump popped out.
Sweet Selfie
Wearing a chic little black dress, Lauren documented her bump with a fun mirror selfie taken in early January. She snapped the pic after getting her gender reveal ultrasound and learning what she and Arie were having. The couple later revealed that they're expecting both a boy and a girl. Guess they're fraternal twins, then!
Playing With Alessi
Little Alessi's going to have to get used to sharing her mom with two other siblings soon. But until then, Lauren is soaking up as much mommy-daughter time as she can. We also love Lauren's cute pink dress that she's wearing. Her bump was quickly growing, even at this early stage in her pregnancy.
Super Glam
Sometimes it's just really fun to get dressed up and totally show off a baby bump in a glam photo shoot. That's just what Lauren did here, in a floor-length black gown standing in New Mexico's White Sands National Park. She joked in the caption, "Quite the bump for 17 weeks. Crazy to think I'm not even halfway there yet!"
Snuggled
Nothing makes a better pillow than a baby bump, and Alessi figured that out quickly. She's totally zonked out here, she probably didn't even know that she was being captured on camera. This is the kind of photo that their whole family can fondly look back on one day. Lauren captioned it, "My three babies…all snuggled up." Seriously so cute.
Minty Fresh
Lauren's maternity style is seriously adorable. This mint green minidress is so cute. Arie captured this pic of Lauren after giving her some early Valentine's Day roses. OK, he was doing it for a sponsored Instagram ad, but it was still a sweet gesture. And the pastel pink flowers go great with her outfit.
Yoga Fun
We'd love to see the behind-the-scenes of taking this photo where Arie and Lauren had to figure out how to get into this position. But the end result is super funny, and her bump is totally popping! She's about halfway through her pregnancy at this point, and doing great. We'll see if Arie can still do this yoga position in her third trimester.
Bumpy Ride
Apparently Arie can just call a private plane when he needs one. Perks of being the former Bachelor, we guess? He and Lauren went private jet-setting in early March, and the comments of his photo were filled with puns about it being a "bumpy" ride, since Lauren was showing so much in her beige dress. Clever!
Date Night
We've spent so much of the last year in sweats that the rare moments we do dress up are extra fun. Lauren and Arie must have also loved getting all dolled up to attend a wedding a couple of weeks ago. Date nights will be hard to come by once the twins show up, so they've got to take advantage while they still can.
Just Dazzling
This photo is basically art! We love the light wall in the background, it makes Lauren glow even more than she normally would as a twin mom-to-be. Lauren addressed the caption to her kiddos. "23 weeks! You’re the size of 2 grapefruits! This week you got measured and you were both 1 lb, 3 oz! Bigger than average and it definitely has been showing by how big my belly’s gotten all of a sudden."
Cute Romper
Rompers are kind of tough to wear as our bellies expand, so Lauren was getting as much use out of this cute pink one as she could. "Had to take the pic cuz I'll outgrow this by next week ," she wrote in the caption. She was 24 weeks along at this point, and growing rapidly. Twins take up a lot of belly room.
Glowing
That pregnancy glow is a real thing with Lauren. Sure, good lighting from the sun may have helped in this photo, but she also looks radiant all on her own. And Arie is clearly so excited to become a father again. "Arie & I can’t wait to meet our new additions, but in the meantime we're making a point to soak in all the moments we have together before things get a little more chaotic," Lauren said.
Matchy-Matchy
The family that matches in sweats together stays together, right? Lauren and her growing baby bump made her matching set look extra cute, and we love that Arie was totally on board for this couple photo. In fact, he and Lauren love to match whenever they can, like in their Christmas jammies this past December.
Built-In Shelf
When baby bellies aren't working as excellent pillows, they also make great built-in shelves to carry other kids on. Alessi and Lauren shared a moment in this photo, with Alessi perfectly perched on her mama's belly. Lauren had hit the 25-week mark by this point, and her twins were the size of eggplants. "Your big sis is dying to meet you! She is constantly pulling up my shirts and dresses to say hello to you…kind of embarrassing in public," Lauren joked in the caption.
Pretty in Peach
OK, we're gonna need Lauren to drop the brand of this peach-colored maternity dress ASAP. It's so cute. Honestly, she can probably wear it even after the babies come, because the skirt is made of that stretchy popcorn-style material that snaps back in place. We love ourselves some reusable maternity wear.
Hitting the Beach
Arie and Lauren recently bought a second home in Hawaii, so Lauren got to have a mini babymoon on the island toward the end of March. That white swimsuit looks stunning on her, and it's fun to see her hanging on the beach. "Happy girl," she captioned the photo. We're only a little jealous.
Island Life
Here's a sneak peek of the Luyendyks' new Hawaii home. To show off their big purchase, they dressed up in their island best — a beige linen button-up for Arie with light gray pants, and a gorgeous white strappy dress for Lauren. They're gonna have such a fun time there with Alessi and the twins once they're born.
Enjoying Nature
Lauren hit her 26-week mark while in Maui, so she took advantage of the gorgeous scenery to take a bump progress shot. "This week was all about getting a little time to reflect and enjoy Hawaii before you get here!" Lauren wrote to her twins in the caption. "We talked about how fun it would be to play around on the beach with you and your big sister."
Kicking Back
Sometimes a pregnant mama just needs to take a load off. When Lauren and Arie were on a walk recently with Alessi, Lauren decided to hop in the wagon with her daughter. Arie was more than happy to pull them both along so Lauren could take a break. It's the least he can do since his wife is growing twins in her belly!
Pool Day
Arie and Lauren live in Arizona, which is how they can have a warm pool day at the beginning of April. Seeing Lauren's bump in all its glory here, it's kind of amazing that she's only about 27 weeks. Her belly is not messing around with those two little ones in there. They're growing so fast! She's soaking up every minute.
