Arie Luyendyk Jr. just received the “best early Father’s Day gift.”

Ahead of the special holiday, which occurs tomorrow on Sunday, June 20, The Bachelor alum shared the heartwarming news that his newborn daughter is out of the hospital after being placed in the NICU. Moreover, Lauren Burnham, who gave birth to their twins exactly one week ago, also celebrated the family update.

“Best early Father’s Day gift, our baby girl is home!” the proud dad captioned his Instagram post on Saturday, June 19, alongside several images of him holding his little ones. “Lauren surprised me this morning when she came home from the hospital with her.”

On Instagram Stories, Lauren opened up about how she was feeling these last few days while her baby girl was in the hospital.

“I just felt like I needed to pull back a little bit and have some privacy,” she said in a video clip. “I was going through something that was pretty vulnerable, having our daughter in the NICU and also going through the postpartum period.”

The 29-year-old reality TV personality continued, “I took some time for myself but she is officially not in the hospital anymore. I’ve got both my babies home and it was the best day ever…It’s a really, really happy day.”

The couple, who fell in love on The Bachelor in 2018, revealed their newborn son’s name—Lux—earlier this week, however, they have yet to share their daughter’s moniker.

On Wednesday, June 16, Arie gave an update on his baby girl’s health on social media, explaining, “They don’t really know if she’ll come home tomorrow or the next day or if she needs any more time.”

“She’s having some trouble with her breathing,” he added. “She’s not on oxygen. She’s perfectly healthy. Her development’s just a little bit behind, so she gets really relaxed. Her heart rate slows down because of the breathing slowing and that is concerning. They’re just being extra, extra careful, which I appreciate but still a little bit heartbreaking.”

Despite their circumstances, the pair remained in good spirits. Just yesterday, Friday, June 18, Lauren celebrated the one-week mark of her twins’ arrival, writing on Instagram, “happy first week of life to my sweet babies. looking forward to double the diapers, double the feedings, double the snuggles. can’t wait to have you both home.”

The couple is also parents to their 2-year-old daughter Alessi, who seems to be enjoying her role as a big sister. As the toddler shared on her Instagram account, “i love my baby brother and baby sister.”

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham are bringing some light into their family.

Four days after welcoming their twins, The Bachelor stars posted a vlog that showed them leaving the hospital and coming home to their 2-year-old daughter Alessi. Arie, 39, and Lauren, 29, introduced their eldest to their newborn son, revealing his name is Lux.

“Alessi is warming up to Mr. Lux,” the race car driver said in the video on Wednesday, June 16. “You’re such a good big sister already.” He also told her, “You’re so good with him.”

However, their baby daughter, whose name is still under wraps, had to remain behind at the NICU, which Arie said made Lauren “pretty upset, obviously.”

“They don’t really know if she’ll come home tomorrow or the next day or if she needs any more time,” he said on camera.

As Arie explained, “She’s having some trouble with her breathing. She’s not on oxygen. She’s perfectly healthy. Her development’s just a little bit behind, so she gets really relaxed. Her heart rate slows down because of the breathing slowing and that is concerning.”

He added, “They’re just being extra, extra careful, which I appreciate but still a little bit heartbreaking.”

After shedding some tears, Lauren teased that she’s going to be a “psycho mom” now, as she checked Lux’s breathing in their car on the way home from the hospital. 

On Tuesday, June 15, Lauren asked for support as she left her little girl in the NICU. “We get to leave the hospital…but little sis has to stay behind for now,” she posted. “pls say prayers for our girl.”

On Tuesday, June 15, Arie took to Instagram to share a carousel of images showing 2-year-old Alessi meeting the little guy that day. In one pic, Alessi has a sweet smile as she holds the sleeping child, and in another shot, she plants a precious kiss on the top of his head.

“Already loves her brother so much [heart emoji],” the 39-year-old former lead of The Bachelor captioned it. “Thank you everyone for the kind words and for those that watched our vlog on YouTube.”

The Bachelor‘s Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham just expanded their family by two. 

The couple, who fell in love on the ABC dating show in 2018, announced the news that Lauren had given birth to the pair’s twins on Saturday, June 12.

“@luyendyktwins are here!” Arie shared to his Instagram Story. “Momma and babies doing great and everything went smoothly. Spending time cherishing these moments, thank you all for the support.” 

Arie and Lauren are also parents to their 2-year-old daughter Alessi, who they welcomed in May 2019. Last December, the duo, who said “I do” in Hawaii three years ago, shared that they were expecting not one, but two babies.

A month later, they revealed they were expecting a boy and a girl. 

“I’m so relieved that there’s at least one boy in there,” Arie joked in a YouTube video after Lauren pointed out that he would be severely outnumbered if she was carrying two girls. “Oh my gosh, that’s so cool.”

“This time around has been different to say the least,” the 29-year-old reality TV personality shared. “The darkness that surrounds a loss is something not easily forgotten. The months of mourning, the months of hoping, to now, moments of worry. Even in the midst of something as beautiful as new life, that darkness finds its way in to remind me that it did in fact exist. It’s tarnished the blissful ignorance i gleefully experienced the first time around.”

She continued, “With all of that said, i’m proud of this body and what we’ve endured together. i’m proud of my second & third babies for growing so well and grateful for all the reminders they send me saying, ‘mom, we’re okay’. i’m proud of my journey through the darkness, because without that, the light i see now wouldn’t shine quite so bright.”

To celebrate Mother’s Day on May 9, Lauren shared a sweet photo of herself and Alessi to Instagram along with the caption, “blessed today & everyday to be mama to these babies. to those of you having a hard time today, i’m thinking of you & sending so much love.”
