Ben Higgins’ Season 20 of ‘The Bachelor’: Where Are They Now?

Ben Higgins may go down as one of the most beloved Bachelors in the history of the ABC franchise, but season 20 still had a fair share of drama. After competing for Kaitlyn Bristowe’ s heart on season 11 of The Bachelorette in 2015, Ben’s own journey for love began in 2016. Ben came under fire when he told both Lauren Bushnell and JoJo Fletcher that he loved them, but ultimately proposed to Lauren B.

“I don’t know if regret would be the right word , because it’s how I felt, which is messed up, and not great when you then break up and propose to somebody in the same day,” Ben told Us Weekly exclusively in June 2020. “I think at the time I was naive enough to think that it was a way to reassure them, when they left, that this was the real deal, that I really did care about them both.” You have successfully subscribed.

But Jess will not be watching it, she doesn’t have a desire to watch it, ” Ben told Us about The Bachelor: GOAT. “She is my partner, and I want her to know that, I don’t want her to feel any sort of heartbreak or sadness from that. So she’ll make an appearance on the show, but she will not be watching it.

I think she’s decided ...

And if she wanted to, I’d let her. I mean, I don’t really want to tell her what to do.” Ben also created Generous Coffee Co.

“I was meant to go on the show to find Nick. If I wasn’t on the show, I wouldn’t ever have met him because I would never have been a blogger and that’s who introduced us and set us up on our first date. So, I think everything happens for a reason and I thank God every day.

“The post was made by somebody that he was seeing. In a sense they were texting with each other. It was a relationship over text.

He met this person on Grindr and he is dating a trans woman.” Following the allegations, Caila jumped to her husband's defense, denying the claims. “WTF is this.

..” she commented on one of the content creator’s TikToks.
