ABC Ben Higgins on ‘The Bachelorette‘. “I think he’s one of the few people that actually lives up to the hype. I think Kaitlyn did that to the best of her ability”. About a month ago, it was rumored that Higgins, who was the second runner-up, would be next season’s suitor – and now Higgins has confirmed that the rumors were true!
As for how he feels about Kaitlyn now, Ben admitted that there’s no bad blood between himself and his on-screen ex. Higgins is a smart guy, but he chose to go after love instead of continuing with his career right now.
“I think, just to be fair to myself, I wanted to take a couple days to process it through and make sure I thought of all the different pros and cons”, he said. This time however, it will be Higgins up on the dais as he returns to the Bachelor Nation.
Rossiter added: “We also look for is this person really ready to find the love of their life and get married?”
