'The Bachelor' Star Ben Higgins Confirms He's Engaged
"The Bachelor" won't be living up to his title for much longer: Reality star Ben Higgins has confirmed that he's engaged.
Higgins made the revelation during an appearance on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, where he chatted about the dramatic events of Monday night's episode, in which he exchanged "I love you"s with the two remaining contestants, JoJo Fletcher and Lauren Bushnell. Now, Higgins has confirmed that things go even further with one of those women.
"I am engaged – I can say that?" he said on "GMA." "I haven't said that in an interview yet!"
Higgins added, "You don't know how much stress and weight that is, to carry [that secret] for so long. Good morning America, I am engaged! Yes, finally!"
Though past bachelors have refrained from revealing their engagements before the final rose is handed out, Higgins said in an interview with People that he didn't think he was breaking any sacred "Bachelor" rules by spilling the beans -- though of course, he declined to hint at just who winds up being the lucky lady who gets a ring along with her rose. Higgins did reveal, however, that whoever it is supported his decision to confess his love to both JoJo and Lauren, and he's extremely happy with his bride-to-be.
"I can't help but say I'm very much in love!" he told People.
Audiences will find out just who Higgins chooses when "The Bachelor" ends its season on March 14.
