Arie Jr & Lauren Luyendyk - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #5

Twins! Congrats...and good luck to them.

Congrats to Arie & Lauren! It was kind of fun to see their reactions to twins. I'm trying to visualize that after already having 1. They're going to be busy!

Proudly celebrating three years since Arie cheated on his fiancée. Lauren’s “LOL” really sets the tone.
These two continue to suck. A cute baby doesn’t make you a good person.

Becca stays rent free in Lauren's head and it's embarrassing and tacky imo. They remain insufferable no amount of cute children will ever change that imo

I'm glad Lauren is so proud of their humble beginnings.

This just shows how insecure she still is about not being chosen first, IMO.

I saw this on Reddit and my blood boiled.  I had finally come around to Lauren and was truly happy for their family.  I think her need to post this shows at best a lack of awareness and at worst a bit of actual cruelty.  I now have lost whatever respect I had mustered back for Arie.  Not that people are incapable of change, but when they show you who they are, "believe them the first time".

I suspect they defend themselves by citing Becca's willingness to allow Arie to seek closure, though little did she realize what was about to happen.

I can't imagine the lack of self-awareness they must have to post something like that and laugh about it like it's a fond memory. How did they think people would respond? 'Aww, how cute'???

The funny thing is that it appears not to bother them and Becca seems to have moved on... so why are the fans ‘offended”?

I don't really think it matters if Becca has moved on or not. It's still 0% classy to show the world the moment an engaged man slid into your DMs.

Happens all the time in this franchise. It doesn't really matter how gross people are, if they're in a relationship and they have a pretty wedding and some babies, they can do no wrong.

I guess it's unsurprising, it's going to attract a lot of fans who don't really think critically and who really just want a love story and don't think much about who the people in the love story really are.

Some of the people in the couples in this franchise are awful people... IMO

IF I remember correctly Arie told Becca that he felt he didn't get closure with Lauren and she told him to go talk to her if he needed to. (does anyone else remember this conversation he had with Becca on the couch ) Maybe that's when he reached out to Lauren and sent her that DM?I don't know but I guess it's possible

I don't care why he reached out to Lauren. He lied to Becca about why he was doing it. I doubt she though he would then break up with her. Lauren knew he was engaged and happily carried on with him. Despite all of that, they ended up getting married, have a child and 2 more on the way. They should be over the moon...and yet this is what she posts?

To me it shows a lack of class, self absorption and a touch of cruelty. It takes no account of how their actions effect others. It reminds me once again of when they took photos and were making fun of someone working out at the gym while they were in Spain. Clueless and shallow.

Good luck making light of your husband cheating on his previous fiance. (Which, from what I recall, was not his first time messing about.) Just pray that karma doesn't bite you in the a**.
