"We've had them picked out for the last couple of years," she said. "We came up with [our daughter] Alessi's name. Right after we decided on her name, we actually chose the next two for our boy and our girl."

"It just ended up working out where we're now having a boy and a girl. So we're just gonna use both of those names that we loved," she added.

Elsewhere in Wednesday's video, Lauren was shown getting emotional as she said goodbye to her daughter.

"It's kind of day to day, to be honest," Arie said in the video of his daughter's condition. "They don't really know if she'll come home tomorrow or the next day, or if she needs even more time.

Arie said that while she is "perfectly healthy," she's "having some trouble with her breathing" and is on oxygen.

Arie and Lauren, who tied the knot in 2019, announced that they were expecting twins in December after revealing that earlier in the year Lauren suffered a miscarriage.
