The couple's happy news comes just a few weeks after Arie and Lauren shared that the former race car driver had recently reversed his vasectomy when they decided they weren't done having kids.
"As you guys know, I got the vasectomy after the twins were born, and ever since then, I don't know, I think I rushed it," Arie explained. "Honestly, it's more on me. I think having the twins was hard at first."
Lauren went on to say that six months into the couple having twins, Arie scheduled his vasectomy "without consulting me first."
"And then I kind of remember a moment of watching Senna, and she's like...all of our kids are like the best age right now," Arie continued. "And I just felt like, 'Dang it, I think we could do this again.' "
At the time, Arie said he was fully on board with having another little one but Lauren admitted that it was taking her some time to come around.
"It's funny, he fully convinced me that that chapter's closed and I'm like, 'Okay,' and came to terms with that. And now have to just get out of that again," Lauren said. "So I'm getting there. Arie is totally there. I'm getting there."
In the spring of 2024, Arie explained that he wasn't ruling out adding more kids to his family in a Q&A on his Instagram Stories. The dad of three was asked by a fan if he and his wife would want more kids in the future.
"A year ago I would have said 100% no way but im feeling more and more like I rushed the vasectomy," he wrote over a picture of Alessi. "Don't know yet what the future holds but rn im loving this stage with them."
