Be still, our Ben H.-loving hearts.
Ben Higgins, second runner-up on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “The Bachelorette,” will be the next “Bachelor,” sources tell Access Hollywood.
Kaitlyn and her beau, Shawn Booth, were both pulling for the 27-year-old software salesman to be the next man to search for love on the ABC reality franchise.
“Ben H. He’s our guy,” Shawn told Access in a July interview, when asked who he was rooting for to be “The Bachelor.”
“Yeah, definitely Ben,” added Kaitlyn.
ABC had no comment regarding the “Bachelor” news when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.
