I'm really happy for Arie & Lauren. They make a beautiful couple. They have worked things out. They have a beautiful fam. And all things seemed to work out perfectly for Becca too. Very happy for all of them.

[@aleciao7203]

I dont care what anyone says I'm happy for them both. And everyone saying they won't last? Well I guess you're wrong cuz they got married, have a beautiful daughter, and now have twins on the way.

[@shirlsshirls8594]

You should see some of the recent bachelors nowadays, you would get scared. 1) was secretly gay the entire time and stalked his girlfriend after she dumped him and she got a restraining order 2) slept with everyone on the show, engaged to multiple people and dated them, then broke up with all of them 3) told 3 women he loved them, slept with them all, then dumped the final 2 to go after a women he sent home in a yelling rage.

[@sallysmith8408]

@@ulalaupepa8558 the entire point of the show is to get engaged by the end of it. That’s just what they did, got engaged, then married, then had kids. They weren’t exactly super young when they had their first kid either, she was 27 he was 37, which is kind of old for a guy to have his first kid if anything, but it’s still a good age range. Anyways, they have a KZbin channel together and they look so happy, he doesn’t seem trapped at all

Lauren is just a sweetheart and Becca is godamn firey. Both marriages could have worked but Becca would have been more trying

[@lornawilliams550]

Arie told Becca "My love for you is unmeasurable." You don't say that to someone, propose to them then break their heart.

Read between the lines what he is saying is "Lauren is twenty five years old she is like a five year old who could not express herself and when I propose to Becca I saw the mature strong intelligent wome who was not gonna let me be a playa anymore.....lol so then a bell rung in my head Lauren would put up with my madness,because she doesn't know how to avocate for herself. He got scared and I seriously hope they last,but I highly doudt it. That man doesn't know what he wants and looking at him he still looks scared.

Crystal Boddie Becca is only 2 years older than her, they just have different personalities, between Becca and Lauren.

The way Lauren looking at Arie like she’s so angry with him😠 it’s so cute ☺️it shows she loves him so much 🥰and now they are together and happy with their kids 😊always listen to what your heart says and not people

[@djosephine]

Why would anyone be angry that Arie followed his heart and picked the better choice for him. You can tell looking at their marriage , children and life together they were meant to be. It sucks how he had to do it, with Becca and all but he did it. It takes a real man to make that move. There’s a bunch of men married to women while secretly in love with who they really wanted. It sucks for Becca but I applaud him

[@mamaluvsherbabes]

Arie is not a bad guy. He had conflicting emotions and I think there was pressure from the expectation of being the bachelor to propose to Becca. He obviously needed more time to decipher what his heart truly needed....who the right woman was for him. I"m sure he had strong feelings for Becca....but he couldn't deny his feelings for Lauren. It was not easy for him to break up with Becca...but he did the right thing. If he did not break up with her, then he would have lived a lie and probably would have ended in divorce. Then all the critics would have lambasted him for having married Becca. With regard to public opinion, this was a catch-22 for him...darned if he did and darned if he didn't. But he had to be honest with his heart for both his sake and for that of Becca. He realized he could not give to Becca what she needed, what she deserved...He loved her enough to do right by her and break it off before making a huge mistake. This took strength and compassion on his part. God bless him. And God bless Becca in her future.

Congratulations to Arie and Lauren, may your love endure forever! Arie corrected a wrong and did it respectfully and it only comes from social media bullies to criticize Lauren for not being as loud as they wanted her to be.

[@davidbell8401]

respectfully....? you must be someone who does not know what respect is

[@gravaly]

On a break up, what did he do that lacked respect for Becca? And why do you attack me rather than being clear and define why was he disrespectful to Becca?

[@123NiceBe]

Kindle Grow Lmao! LOUD? How about someone with a brain who can form a complete sentence. Oh that's right, Arie can't do that either. These idiots deserve each other.

[@gravaly]

Lauren is a person who clearly expresses no more than what she needs. Since she won what 28 others ambitiously wanted but failed, makes her smart. Your ugly comments :"idiots" or implying brainless or incapable to a nice and kind person just makes you a bully. And your name is be nice? Laughable.

[@shab21296]

BeNice so ironic that your name is “BeNice”...

[@Rubester-cl6op]

Was upset when it happened but looking back it makes sense Arie and Lauren seem to have turned out to be one of the more stable couples in bachelor nation. And I really don’t think Arie and Becca would have gotten married think at best they would be engaged for a year and split also the men on Beccas seen seemed to all be very different from Arie.

[@sallysmith8408]

You know it’s hard to say what would have happened with them. Becca reminds me a lot of Tsushima, they are both very sweet, smart, confident and outspoken women - but somehow both their engagements got called off. I feel like Becca and arie wouldn’t have lasted but I could be wrong.

What a King of Monster! And Lauren is dumber talking him back knowing he is very manipulative and a BIG liar.

Its ok Arie, we are just human being. We made mistakes in our life. Just be yourself. Be closer to GOD. I wish you good luck and happiness with Lauren. Make babies pls... 😘

[@kastuul]

Arie is not going to be the Jason2.0. The girls in Jason's season didn't say bad things about him. Jason dated Molly for a while. They didn't care the diamond ring and rushed for engagement. Arie dated many women even before the show.

[@jeylohnen]

kastuul YW and even Aries girlfriends not from the show didn’t have good things to say about him( he can’t say monogamous in a relationship) and I think that’s the reason he decided to get back with Lauren who he could easily manipulated and cheat on and she will come back with “ I forgive you “

If you where the bachelor or bachelorette would you think differently after getting engaged?

Better question would be why he feels the need to keep on interviewing like it’s his job, could he be afraid to start real people every day life, where relationships are not as exiting and demand work?

It actually was his job. It was in his contract.

[@chrisnoziere2893]

I still don't think they're right for each other.

[@funstuff9963]

He said "unmeasurable" instead of the correct term "immeasurable" so it let's him off the hook. she handled the break up well though...and well though...she got over it pretty quick when they announced her as the bachelorette. revenge is a dish best served on TV. not impressed with the first batch of clowns they sent her. no marriage material that matches her high class yet. she should try online dating and let love deprived Tia find true love on the Bachelorette.

[@stressmuffin]

My second comment, this time about the runner ups turn winners, Lauren and Molly. At first I hated both of them for taking back the Bachelor star, who dumped them for the original winners. Plus for me, I called them one upping bitches to Becca (Lauren’s competitor) and Melissa (Molly’s competitor), when they were seen happy as clams making out with the men they beat their rivals to. Later, I realized that, no! They’re not the villainesses in their love triangles with their now husbands and love rivals. The real villains were the Bachelor who dumped their chosen ones for them at the time. All Molly and Lauren did is reciprocate their love for the Bachelor who loves them.

I don't understand and do, the part tat he was a fraid to be left off Louren.. Louren no what she wanted, and sedd clearly that she loved him.. Butt i would not thell 2 women i love you, and be intimet, at the same time..He made a mistake, and is happly merryed now, and they are a lovely family, and he corected in media every where, that hi mest up big time, whit the choice, and that's good, and right to Louren that hi corected it to all people in front off her, that she can rely on him agen 👍❤️🙏🤗🍀💏
