Some time in the near future, Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell are getting married.
No, wait, the wedding between Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell has been called off!
Contrasting reports regarding the latest winner of The Bachelor and his chosen suitor have gone viral over the past few weeks, confusing fans desperate to see another successful relationship spring from this show.
So, which is it?
Are Ben and Lauren closer than ever to saying “I Do” or to saying “See Ya?”
According to Us Weekly, it’s the former, as that magazine claims the famous tandem “will get married very soon, probably this summer.
Yes, the tabloid adds, these nuptials would be televised as an “ABC special.”
Higgins rejected new Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher toward the end of his featured season, proceeding to propose to Bushnell during the finale’s taping in Jamaica.
They actually do seem like a very happy couple, but how often have you heard that about Bachelors and their fiancees before?
Just prior to the relationship coming to a not-so-surprising end?
Ever since his season concluded, though, Higgins and his 25-year old love have been “very happy,” a source tells Us Weekly, saying of Ben and Lauren:
“They’re making it work a lot better than past people have done in their shoes,” adds the source.
Why would they film their nuptials for a national audience?
Money. No… wait. That isn’t it.
“We want to share our life with everyone who’s been supportive,” says Bushnell, who recently moved into Higgins’ Denver home. “And that includes Bachelor Nation.”
If this wedding special makes it to air, Ben and Lauren would become the fifth Bachelor couple to exchange vows in front of network cameras.
Trista and Ryan Sutter started this trend in 2003 and were followed by:
Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney wed in 2010; Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum in 2012; and Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici in January 2014.
