Arie Luyendyk Jr. Steering His Daughter Toward NASCAR Career?
Race car driving is in Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s DNA. Is he steering one of his daughters to follow in his footsteps? Keep reading for all the details on the youngster’s interest in racing.
Is Arie Luyendyk Jr. Still Racing?
Arie Luyendyk Jr. is probably the most famous these days for his time in reality TV. Bachelor Nation viewers met him as a contestant on Emily Maynard’s season of The Bachelorette in 2012. He came in second place after she chose Jef Holm. However, Arie didn’t give up on love. He returned to star in Season 22 of The Bachelor.
His season is notorious because he did find love… but with the wrong woman. He proposed to Becca Kufrin only to change his mind, end their engagement, and propose to runner-up Lauren Burnham. Season 22 is one of the Bachelor seasons available to stream on Hulu if you want to relive the drama.
Arie and Lauren married in 2019 and share three children together. Their daughter Alessi arrived that same year. In 2021, they added twins to their family: a daughter they named Senna and a son Lux.
Arie Luyendyk Jr. recently shared an adorable photo of him bonding with Lux. The young boy wanted to sit next to his dad on the plane, and Arie happily obliged. Fans couldn’t get over his mini-me.
All Of His Kids Love The Racetrack
Before he was on The Bachelorette, Arie made a name for himself as a racecar driver. His father, Arie Luyendyk, was a two-time winner of the Indy 500. According to Romper, his son has never had quite the same success on the racetrack. But that doesn’t stop him from trying.
Arie briefly returned to reality TV on Season 1 of The Traitors, but it seems racing cars will always be his first love. And it looks as though he’s passed that love of fast cars onto his three children.
He shared a cute photo on Instagram of his three young kids watching the races. “My little race fans are here,” he wrote on the snapshot. But does one of his kids have the need for speed more than the other two?
