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

This is a discussion thread and they’re a couple who have chosen to be in the public eye.

I'm probably one of the few who actually enjoyed Courtney both on the show and after.....she is who she is . If they can maintain a friendship and a relationship...good for them!

I know she and Arie regularly do some real estate work together and with Arie recent liking Courtney's semi-nude IG post they must all be comfortable with the intertwined relationships.  She's a tough one to figure out IMO.

If Courtney was invited, surely sleuthers would have found out and lit up SM with the discovery IMHO. I couldn't find any evidence of Arie and Courtney doing real estate together, but perhaps you'd share that information. 

Gotta admit to being a little disappointed in the "semi-nude IG post" of Courtney. It's an artsy, shadowed model-type pic of the model showing less than you'd see on the beach. IMHO.  A quick scroll through showed likes by Bach Nationers Sharleen, DeAnna Stag, Olivia Caridi, Molly Mesnick and *gasp* Jesse Csincsak. Hopefully Mrs. Ann Csincsak is cool with it. Probably best to discuss Courtney on the former contestants thread IMO.

@FLChica Arie and Courtney were working together to sell the house they they had renovated together prior to Arie going on his season, according to their IG stories last week. That looks to be the extent of their interactions, at least publically.

I didn't think much of the Courtney model post to be honest.

Everything is absolutely the same for me. His dad said he hadn't seen Arie being that much in love with anybody ever. I knew they were perfect for each other with Lauren.

In one of his much earlier  interviews with People TV, he said Lauren was somebody he couldn't lose,  he was willing and determined to take the risk 

@Larie,
Arie, a “seasoned” gentleman in the game of life and love, got down on one knee and proposed marriage to a completely different woman, on national tv. I’m happy he made the change and I wish him and Lauren every happiness and success but, IMO they are together because Becca is very different from her public persona as indicated by her subsequent choice. Making the change was more than courageous, it was best, IMO.

Not sure if I can ask in this thread, but can you please elaborate on Becca being different? Is it because of her chosen F1? I don't really follow her but I'm curious

Before we get off topic, I think it's obvious each of those couples chose the right person for them as it appears both couples are incredible happy. That's all that matters.

Back to Arie and Lauren.

When is Lauren due again?

Early June.

Did Lauren get lip fillers? Her lips certainly are looking a bit more full lately.

There are plumping gloss products some women use that create full lips for several hours. Applies like gloss but tingles at first. Less invasive than injections and such.

Not a fan of theirs but did see that their baby successfully turned head down with the help of doctors. Happy for that good news for them.
