Bachelor Host Chris Harrison Thinks Arie Luyendyk Jr. Will Be A “Great Dad”

Bachelor host Chris Harrison is like a proud grandpa… kind of.

Chris, who has been the host of all Bachelor Nation shows since the very beginning, takes a lot of pride in seeing some of his leading men and women go on to get married and have families of their own.

The next Bachelor couple to get married and have a child, all within a few months of each other, is Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham.

It’s safe to say Chris couldn’t be happier for the pair. He even gushed about Arie’s dad skills to Life & Style over the weekend.

“I was so excited. He gave me a call and they were unbelievably surprised and excited. I’m so happy for them. He’s going to be a great dad,” Chris shared.

“He’s such a lover and he’s such a — I mean this in a loving way, he’s such a nerd and he’s such a goofy guy.”

He continued, “Like he’s going to be such a good dad rolling around on the carpet with his baby, and they’re great.”

Not to mention, Arie and Lauren have established their roots in Arizona, so they’re ready to take on parenthood.

“They built their house, they built their home,” Chris said.

“And so everything’s kind of perfect for them right now. I wish them the best. I love him to death.”

Lauren and Arie just revealed on their baby’s Instagram page that they’re already 14 weeks along!

“14 weeks old today! I had a wild week. Mom and Dad and I heard loud race trucks…sounded like music to me,” the caption said.

“Inside here things are getting a little weird, I’m growing hair all over my body called lanugo. I’m also growing little eyebrows and eyelashes, I think they’re turning out pretty good if you ask me.”
