A former “Bachelor” lead is developing a new dating app with his wife.

According to US Magazine, Arie Luyendyk and his wife, Lauren, will be launching a new app they are calling “Duo.”

Lauren, then Lauren Burnham, met Luyendyk when she was initially the runner-up on his season of “The Bachelor” before he had second thoughts and decided Lauren was the one after all. Today, they have three children together and are married.

Arie Luyendyk Says the New App Would Include a Date Planner Who Curates an Experience for Users

Arie Luyendyk explained how the app will work on his podcast for US Weekly.

“It is an app for couples for date inspiration and planning,” he said in the podcast.

“What’s really cool is it kind of gives that Bachelor experience for everyday couples because once you sign up on the app, a date planner plans a surprise date for you,” he said.

“Your partner wants to go on a date on Saturday, you submit it to the app, you fill out a questionnaire and then basically one of our date planners — who actually is a date planner for the Bachelor — curates a date for you set at your budget.”

US Magazine reported that former Bachelor host Chris Harrison and his fiancee Lauren Zima are going to be trying out the app, according to Arie Luyendyk. Luyendyk revealed in the podcast, “For two people to walk up and not know what they’re doing and then be thrown into an activity, I think is what creates that romantic moment.”
