    Arie Luyendyk Jr. and his wife Lauren Burnham Luyendyk are expecting a baby girl

    The 43-year-old auto racing driver and the 33-year-old internet personality held a gender reveal event, which was attended by their three children - Alessi, five, and three-year-old twins Senna and Lux - family and close friends


    During the special occasion - which they filmed and uploaded to YouTube and Instagram - Arie admitted he was convinced the baby was a boy.

    He could be heard saying in the video: "I think it's a boy. And I thought it was a boy the entire time. If my instincts are wrong, I'm going to be so shocked. I'm wearing blue because I think it's a boy. This pregnancy feels different."

    Shortly after the TV personality's prediction, the couple burst a balloon to cause pink, white and gold confetti to explode out of it.

    They told their kids: "You're going to have a little sister!"

    Alessi, Senna and Lux were able to announce the gender themselves, as they dipped glasses into a cake with pink filling.

    The former 'Bachelor Nation' stars announced to the world in March that they are expecting their fourth child.

    Lauren shared a photo of her showing off the baby bump on Instagram on March 10, and she captioned it with: "Our last missing piece, coming this September."

    It comes after Arie underwent a vasectomy reversal in summer 2024 to try for another child with Lauren.

    She said in a previous YouTube vlog: "We said we were done having kids, like, a couple years ago, but I think we're going to do it one more time.

    "That sounded funny, like, we're only going to do it one time."

    Arie explained: "As you guys know, I got the vasectomy [in 2022] after the twins were born.

    "Ever since, I think I rushed it, honestly. It's more on me [and] I think having the twins was hard at first."

    Lauren added: "He was like, 'OK, it's happening. We have got do this. And we did. I got on board."

    Arie continued: "All of our kids are at the best age right now, and I just felt like, 'Dang it, I think we could do this again.' If we had a singleton, we could totally handle that."

    The couple have both insisted that the new baby will be their last.
