"The Bachelor" Season 20 has not yet started on ABC, but the reality show is already met with controversies prior to its season premiere. A recent report claims that Ben Higgins, who has been named as the next bachelor hopeful on the show, has expressed his desire to quit the show altogether, as he has allegedly found love beyond the show. Will he still star in the series?
Ben Higgins has been recently confirmed as "The Bachelor" 2016 despite Nick Viall's expression of interest to star in the upcoming season of the ABC reality series. While Higgins has been a fan-favorite contestant from Kaitlyn Bristowe's "The Bachelorette" much thanks to his shy personality and good looks, rumor has it that Higgins is not exactly a goody two shoes.
Celeb Dirty Laundry cited several instances, which prove that Higgins is, in fact, a player and has been hanging out with different ladies since his time at "The Bachelorette." According to the outlet, Higgins was rumored to be dating "Bachelor in Paradise" star Tenley Molzahn, but had to break up because he prioritized his contract with the network over his relationship.
Not only that, Higgins allegedly had a girlfriend named Kelly Osborn in his hometown in Denver. Higgins and Osborn had photos together on the social networking site, Instagram. The dating rumors doesn't stop there for "The Bachelor" 2016 though, as Higgins is also reportedly flirting with Cassandra Ferguson.
Ferguson previously starred in "The Bachelor" and "Bachelor in Paradise" and has been exchanging text messages with Higgins. Ferguson, however, chose to date Jonathan Holloway.
Meanwhile, Inquisitr noted on several reports, which claimed that Higgins is already looking into withdrawing from the upcoming season of the show. However, Higgins has already signed a contract with the network and show, and therefore, has no choice but to date other women even when he has a relationship in real life.
