  • Bachelor and Bachelor Winter Games alum Ben Higgins proposed to his girlfriend Jessica Clarke on Friday night.

  • Ben got engaged to Lauren Bushnell after The Bachelor, but the two broke up in 2017.


Congrats to Bachelor Nation sweetie Ben Higgins for getting engaged on Friday night. Ben proposed to his girlfriend Jessica Clarke, who he didn’t meet during his time on The Bachelorette, The Bachelor, or Bachelor Winter Games. Ben and Jessica, who is a fitness entrepreneur, went public with their relationship back in February 2019.

As *real* fans will know, Ben got engaged to Lauren Bushnell after his season of The Bachelor, and the two even had their own reality show, Ben and Lauren, Happily Ever After? before breaking up in 2017.

But back to Ben’s engagement! Jessica posted some pictures of the big moment with the caption, “I don’t remember everything you said, but I know that I said yes. I woke up in a dream today and I get to live in this dream every day from now on (eeeep)”:

Ben also opened up about the proposal to ET, saying:

I went back to a pond behind her house, and we had set it up with sunflowers near a bench. It’s right in their backyard, but a little hidden. I proposed and her family and mine were watching from a distance and then we all celebrated together. I was super nervous. She’s my best friend, my partner, and I love her. I was nervous to kind of do this whole thing in front of her. I wasn’t anxious—it’s just a big moment!

So cute! Congrats again to Ben and Jessica!
