Celebrities have hurt us in many ways; if not with their love life it could be a derogatory statement that got them used for another one they also hurt us with some choices they make when we we feel the opposite. But overall, they’re still human beings like us and are bound to do what we don’t like to see them do. Probably the most painful is their breakdown in relationships with each other. Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins have done us a lot of damage in this regard.
What really happened between them is what a lot of people still haven’t figured out. Here are all the facts you need to know about Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins’ relationship and why it fell apart.
Why Lauren Bushnell ended her relationship with Ben Higgins
Almost a year and a half after Ben proposed to Lauren while filming the final season of The Singles, they called off their relationship on May 15, 2017. In an interview with etonline.com by Ben, he made several revelations about the causes of the debacle of their once solid relationship. Surprisingly, it wasn’t Lauren who called him.
From everything he said, it became pretty obvious he was the partner who pulled out of the relationship. According to him, he is a person who is obsessed with his “routines and consistency”, such that anyone who steps in and changes the status quo means he will put him on a high and more reactionary state of alert.
Likewise, he is “overly sensitive” to such things as it affects his relationship with the opposite sex. Ben let it be known that he had these thoughts in his mind asking if the relationship he had with Lauren was real, or maybe it will be another person who doesn’t really love him but who plays until she finds another person more worthy of being her. These thought patterns continued for some time and he feared most, he would soon be suffering from another heartbreak than the last one that had left him devastated, if not emotionally and psychologically ill.
Based on this, Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins ended their relationship. It’s possible that Lauren was hurt the most by being the romantic partner of someone who doubted everything she felt for him. Since then, Ben has continued his career and seems very happy with the praise his works are receiving. He revealed that although he was behind the time he had planned to get married, he didn’t feel he had to commit to another relationship or get married.
