'Bachelor' Stars Lauren Burnham And Arie Luyendyk Reveal Why They No Longer Sleep Together
"Bachelor" stars Lauren Burnham and Arie Luyendyk Jr. haven't been sleeping together for more than a month. In a new YouTube video, the couple opened up about making new sleeping arrangements since welcoming their twins in June.
Burnham and Luyendyk said they decided to tweak their sleeping arrangements to raise their three little ones in the best way. Aside from their twins, Senna and Lux, the couple also has a 2-year-old daughter, Alessi.
Since the birth of the twins, Luyendyk admitted they haven't been able to get much rest.
"There are some nights where it is complete chaos," explained Luyendyk. "One wakes up at 10, then the other one wakes up at 2. Before you know it, you've gone through the whole night and you haven't slept."
The former "Bachelor" star said when one of them spends the night in the nursery, the other can rest in a separate room. "We just switch on and off, just to give each other a full night's rest. Then the person who has a full night's rest handles Alessi first thing in the morning," he added.
Despite the challenges, Luyendyk said their new sleeping arrangement has been working out pretty well for him and his wife.
"If I'm having a mental breakdown, Lauren picks up the slack. If she's having a mental breakdown, I get it together and I pick up the slack. I think that is what makes us great at parenting. We can sense when the other needs a little bit more heavy lifting on the parenting end," he said.
The former ABC personalities also revealed that though they are now focused on raising their newborns, they make every effort possible to keep the romance alive in their marriage. Burnham said they always make time for each other by going out on dates without their kids.
"Even if you're only talking about your kids on a date, which you should refrain from, it's good to just have alone time as a couple," she said.
