I wanted to do this in front of everyone because I want to show you that I should have done this a long time ago,” Arie said during her proposal on live national television.

Arie and Lauren eventually moved in together in Luyendyk’s hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, and later revealed that they were expecting their first child together, which they eventually revealed is a baby girl.
