LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Arie Luyendyk Jr., the Bachelorette 2012’s race car driver contestant, previously dated Cassie Lambert, claims reports. Cassie Lambert is a producer on The Bachelorette. But several years ago, she and Arie Luyendyk Jr were reportedly dating. And if spoilers are correct, the revelation comes as a surprise to Emily Maynard this season.

For anyone with a computer, there was no mystery who Arie Luyendyk Jr was posing with in news pictures several years ago. A gallery on Motorsport.com from several years ago shows the younger Arie with then “girlfriend Cassie Lambert.” And while those pictures, apparently taken from a fashion show at the time, have roughly two thousand views each, expect that number to increase close to the finale of the Bachelorette 2012 season when that revelation is reportedly revealed on TV.

Cassie Lambert’s Twitter profile indicates she is currently a “Producer on ABC’s The Bachelor & The Bachelorette”. But if spoilers online are correct, Arie allegedly admits that to Emily close in the final episodes of the season. How does Emily react? Reportedly Emily is surprised by the news, but still keeps Arie and send him to the final three.

In fact, this week Emily told news that she still likes Arie greatly. So does Arie win the season?

Arie Luyendyk last raced two years ago, in 2010, on the Indy Lights circuit. But could Arie race into a new tv series after Bachelorette? If Arie doesn’t win this season, he could become a future Bachelor. Based upon his popularity last week, he would appear to be likely frontrunner among fans.
