During his time as the Bachelor, Higgins was left with two final contestants — Lauren Bushnell and Jojo Fletcher — both of whom he had professed his love to. After a tough decision, he ultimately chose Bushnell, but their relationship only lasted for a year.
Higgins shared why he and Bushnell went their separate ways on his Almost Famous podcast.
I would say the joy we felt towards our relationship at the beginning was — for some reason — slipping away. And we were both working very hard to bring that joy back. And it just never seemed to get there.
The reality star also added that though both Bushnell and he had ended their relationship, it was hard for both of them as they had believed the other to be “the one” for them and spent so much time together.
Like Higgins, Bushnell has also moved on and tied the knot with country star Chris Lane on October 25, 2019.
