ben Higgins of "The Bachelor" just recently admitted to splitting from Lauren Bushnell. The two were engaged, but it didn't end up lasting. On their reality show "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?" fans saw that they had a few issues. It really wasn't shocking to the fans when the news came out that they were over because the rumors had been flying for a while. Now he is moving on and was actually seen with someone from Bachelor Nation out at a concert. TMZ shared pictures of Ben out at a Bryan Adams concert having a good time, and he had a girl by his side.
This was the first time that Ben was seen with a girl other than Lauren since their split.
So who was Ben Higgins hanging out with?
Ben was at the concert with Ashley Iaconetti. She was on Chris Soules season of "The Bachelor." Ashley then went on to be on "Bachelor in Paradise." The fans have wondered if she would find love, but so far, Ashley seems to still be single. This caused some speculation that she might be more than friends with Ben Higgins, but it really doesn't look that way.
These two were seen talking and having a good time together, but it doesn't sound like it was romantic at all. A source even revealed that they are just friends and it was nothing more. Ben and Ashley did seem to enjoy their time at the concert, but it wasn't like they were showing off any PDA or anything.
Personally, I don't see these two together, but I would love for both Ashley and Ben to find love. Couples that have met outside of the show, but are from Bachelor Nation do sometimes work out.
What are Ben and Ashley doing together?
It turns out that Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti are working together on a project. They are going to be doing a radio podcast together that is called "Almost Famous." They went to the concert for this podcast and had a bunch of people from iHeart Radio along with them.
This was all for the job. It doesn't sound like Ben and Ashley are more than just friends, but you never know if that could end up changing in the future. If Ben had still been with Lauren, then she probably would have gone along with him to the concert.
