Today the shocking news came out that Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell were over. The couple has moved on and won't be getting married after finding love on "The Bachelor." They met on television and even went on to have their own reality television show, but they were not able to make it through their issues. Now, a source is saying that they know what happened and why the couple is over.
Source reveals what went down
A source close to the couple says that this split was coming for a bit and went on to say "They weren’t seeing eye-to-eye on too many things and were arguing about everything lately." It sounds like ben and Lauren were not doing very well.
On their show "Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After?" they shared that they had called off the wedding, but they were still together. They had plans to eventually tie the knot and were not just rushing it.
The source went on to explain more saying that part of the issue is that she was spending time with her friends instead of him. Lauren went to the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, California, at the end of April without her fiance. Lauren was constantly posting on social networks about the trip. It sounds like this didn't go very well. The source said Ben got upset about her spending so much time with her friends instead of him. Ben did share a picture with Lauren since then, but it sounds like that event was a big part of their recent issues.
The last time Lauren posted a picture of Ben was in April for Easer.
