The Bachelor season finale aired last night, and viewers finally learned that Ben Higgins proposed to Lauren Bushnell and that the couple was officially engaged. Following the airing of the finale, the two of them appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and they spoke with Kimmel about many things, including when they officially got engaged and how difficult it was to keep their engagement hidden from the public.
According to Higgins, he and Bushnell have been engaged since this past November, even though he and Kimmel joked that it actually happened all the way back in 2012. Since then, some parts of their lives have gone back to normal, with Bushnell returning to her job as a flight attendant (although she’s gotten much more looks and questions than ever before), but other parts have remained pretty strange, including the different houses that they had to live in together while keeping their engagement a secret. In fact, as Higgins explained, there was even one house in particular that literally only had a couch and a bed and nothing else, no cable, WiFi, or anything to keep them entertained.
“So they lock us in a house for four days, and we literally sit on a couch and stare at each other,” The Bachelor star told Kimmel.
However, the newly engaged couple’s conversation with Kimmel did reveal that there a few things that each of them don’t always love about the other. Higgins is apparently a morning person, waking up at 7:30 a.m. every day, and no matter how hard he tries, he can never get Bushnell up before around 10 o’clock. She claimed that she’s “trained him” to let her sleep in more.
Meanwhile, Bushnell still gets bothered by Higgins’ loud breathing, which he said is because he has “big lungs.” Additionally, she also admitted that she told him that he prays too loudly, which is something he does almost every night before they go to sleep.
“Are you praying that she doesn’t see the episode [of The Bachelor] where you told JoJo you loved her also?” Kimmel asked Higgins, laughing.
