Arie Luyendyk Jr. is keeping it real about family life. The former Bachelor star, 44, underwent his second vasectomy on August 14, 2026, and he brought fans along for the ride on Instagram Story. The first time around was rough, so this time he found a new doctor who offers laughing gas, went solo, and joked about hoping it would be fun. He also made sure to point out that the procedure is nothing compared to what his wife Lauren went through giving birth to their four kids.
The couple, who met on The Bachelor in 2018 and married in 2019, have certainly built a full house. After the procedure, Arie headed home wearing a T-shirt that read“All Juice, No Seed,”which is probably the most honest statement in reality TV history. Lauren had a care package waiting for him with his favorite snacks and frozen peas, a small gesture that shows how they keep things light and loving through the chaos of raising a big family.
This kind of story resonates because it’s real life. Vasectomies, birth control decisions, and knowing when your family is complete are conversations happening in kitchens all across the country. It’s just nice to see a celebrity tackle it with humor and heart. Do you and your partner have a story about knowing when your family was complete? Drop it in the comments.
