This beautiful painted rose captivates us all. Alessi, the daughter of The Bachelor alums Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Luyendyk (née Burnham), energetically created her own masterpiece without realizing the significance it holds, connecting it with her parents' serendipitous encounter.
Lauren, who is 31 years old, shared a video on her Instagram Story on Saturday, September 30. The video showed Alessi, completely focused, painting the flowers on an easel.
In the video, Lauren excitedly exclaimed, "Look, there are roses!" She went on to express her amazement, saying, "You made these all by yourself? I'm incredibly impressed."
Alessi, with a paintbrush in hand, replied that she’s painting another rose.
“She did roses! imagine that,” Lauren wrote on the video, with a red rose emoji.

Arie also posted videos of Alessi creatively painting roses while enjoying Taylor Swift's timeless songs. "The most talented young artist," he wrote in a caption for one of the clips.
The pre-kindergartner probably doesn't realize the significance of roses to her parents.
Arie, 42, was introduced to Bachelor nation fans in 2012 when he competed for Emily Maynard's affection in season 8 of The Bachelorette. Despite being the runner-up, he made a comeback five years later on The Bachelor season 22 and encountered Lauren, a resident of the Netherlands.
After giving his final rose to Becca Kufrin on the show, the race car driver ended the relationship to be with Lauren. (In September, Becca welcomed her son Benson with her fiancé Thomas Jacobs from Bachelor in Paradise.)
Lauren and Arie got engaged on the live After the Final Rose episode in March 2018 and got married in Hawaii in January 2019. The ceremony was conducted by Chris Harrison, who was the host of The Bachelor at the time.
"We've always been eager for this day ever since we got together," Arie shared with We previously. "It's hard to believe it's been a whole year. It feels surreal because just a year ago, we were discussing marriage during the 'happy couples weekend' on The Bachelor. It's truly incredible that the long-awaited day has finally arrived."
In November 2018, Us revealed that the couple was expecting their first child. Four months following their wedding, Alessi was born.
"We joyfully announce the arrival of our adorable baby girl, weighing 6lbs and 13oz and measuring 20cm long," Arie shared on his Instagram Story. "Both mommy and baby are in excellent health, and we couldn't be happier."
Following Lauren's heartbreaking miscarriage in 2020, the couple experienced the blessing of a growing family and embraced the arrival of twins named Senna and Lux in June 2021.
