“Congratulations to these attractive girls!” she tweeted along with a photo of herself with new “Bachelorette” JoJo Fletcher and Lauren Bushnell, Higgins’ new fiance.

Before Higgins and Bushnell could be an official couple, he had to say good-bye to another woman he loved – JoJo Fletcher, a real estate developer. “Just because you referred to her as ‘the first person who will reassure me and tell me it’s gonna be OK, ‘ and that, for me, is really all I needed to hear”.
And even though she didn’t watch the drama unfold, Lauren says she still felt for both Ben and JoJo, explaining, “Even just imagining that situation, I can only imagine it was brutal to watch and it was tough on both people”. Still, Ben and Lauren got engaged at the end of Season 20 when Ben proposed with a gorgeous 4.25-carat Neil Lane engagement ring!
It seemed fans were really pushing for Fletcher to win and weren’t happy that Higgins fell for both of the ladies.
During the finale episode, Ben needed a little help from his mom when it came to choosing the love of his life.
AP: Ben, when JoJo Fletcher was named the new “Bachelorette”, did it make you feel less guilty about breaking her heart?
“I mean, guys, I’m so excited”, she said, to which Ben added, “She’s very deserving”. ‘As much as my feelings were in two different places, I knew I wanted them to be in one place for the rest of my life’. I think that’s likely … When Kimmel asked if they were anxious that after the excitement, reality would kind of ruin everything and there would be no wedding, Bushnell exclaimed, “I’m not anxious”.
So get ready everybody, because season 12 of The Bachelorette premieres in two short months, and this time JoJo will be the one handing out the roses. On Monday night’s season finale, the 27-year-old popped the question to Bushnell – and she said yes. But most importantly, you’ve been beside me the whole time.

“Roadtrippin’ and will be thoroughly disappointed if I don’t find a chick fil a sometime soon…”, the software-sales rep said on Twitter – and her wish was soon granted.
