Ben Higgins Lauren Bushnell Split: What the ‘Bachelor’ 2017 Winner Had to Give Up for Ex

Following the announcement that Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell have split, some fans are still fazed. It appears that the "Bachelor" stars' fans will grieve for the breakup. Find out what went wrong between the reality stars' romance.

In a recent interview with E! News, a source close to the "Bachelor" franchise revealed bits about the couple. It would be surprising now to find out that there have been arguments just after the 2017 season wrapped up. The insider said Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell had a disagreement just after the finale special.

As fans know, Lauren Bushnell had to quit her job for Ben Higgins. The former flight attendant had to move to Denver to live with Ben. However, she has been open to her friends about her true feelings for the new lifestyle she received.

It appears that Lauren Bushnell was the one who struggled more than Ben Higgins did. The insider added that Lauren felt she had to give up everything to be with the "Bachelor" 2017 lead. The 27-year-old also realized that she was the only one who changed a lot of things so she can please Ben.

However, the joint statement that Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell unveiled last week had a different tone. The statement said the now-exes mutually made the decision to part ways. They also made it clear that they would remain friends.

Meanwhile, Lauren Bushnell is ready to move on. PEOPLE confirms that she is packing up her stuff and moving back to California. Ben Higgins will stay in their shared Denver home. It is unclear how they will split up the things they bought together.

Ben Higgins has recently clarified that he is not dating Ashley Iaconetti. They two were spotted in an event together and it has sparked some controversy. Lauren Bushnell has yet to talk about the alleged issue involving the "Bachelor in Paradise" star.
