Arie Luyendyk and his new fiancé Lauren Burnham made their first TV appearance following Bachelor: The Final Rose on Tuesday night.

Despite the backlash the couple is facing following the dramatic season finale, Arie and Lauren don't look like they're letting the haters get to them. Click through to see the pics!
Lauren and Arie were seen smiling and laughing together as they walked arm-in-arm to the late night talk show.
Arie wore his signature suit, while Lauren rocked a short light blue dress.
