The Bachelor 2016 Break-Up: Lauren Bushnell’s Jealousy Rages - Ben Higgins Won’t Stop Calling Ex-girlfriend

Is The Bachelor Ben Higgins cheating on his winner Lauren Bushnell with his ex-girlfriend? Maybe not physically, but emotionally, yes. This month, Ben Higgins got down on one knee and proposed to Lauren Bushnell during the Season 20 finale. The couple’s engagement has barely been public for a week. However, reports indicate that there is already trouble in paradise, and a possible break-up in the near future.

As you all know, Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell’s engagement got off to a bumpy start when the final episodes of the ABC reality show aired, and Lauren saw Ben tell Jojo Fletcher that he loved her, too. Like any human being, Lauren’s insecurities and jealousy kicked in. Because, seriously, who would be okay with seeing your fiancé tell another woman he loved her the same day that he proposed to you … on national television?

According to a new report from Life & Style magazine, that is just one of the new couple’s many problems. Not only is Lauren B. still upset about the “L Word,” but now Ben’s secret “friendship” with his ex-girlfriend has come to light – and it doesn’t look like it is going to end well. Apparently, Ben’s ex-girlfriend from college is his BFF. While The Bachelor was airing on ABC, Ben and Lauren weren’t allowed to spend much time together, because the network didn’t want spoilers getting leaked. So, Ben used that time to chat on the phone with his ex-girlfriend … for hours.

According to Life & Style Magazine’s inside sources, “Lauren and Ben are already having trust issues. Now that they are finally able to spend time together, if he calls his ex, she is going to freak out, it’s going to start a war.” On the other hand, Ben seems to think that there is nothing wrong with confiding in his ex about his relationship woes…

What do you think, Bachelor fans? Could this be the beginning of another Bachelor break-up? Will Ben’s relationship with his ex and phone calls to her mean the end of his and Lauren B.’s engagement? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
