‘The Bachelor’ Ben Higgins Actually Engaged To Lauren Bushnell? ‘Brutal’ Finale Seen For JoJo?

Recent "The Bachelor" season 20 spoilers claimed that Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell are already engaged despite the fact that the finale is still set on March 14.

According to Yibada, the photo which Lauren Bushnell posted on Instagram on Tuesday could have hinted she is actually the winning leading lady at the end of this season.

The selfie, based on the observation by some fans, "appears to show that she is wearing an engagement ring."

With such post, which was captioned "tea" as she was holding a blue tea cup while taking a photo of herself, it further ignited that speculation that the engagement rumors between the 25-year-old flight attendant and 26-year-old computer software saleman were actually "premeditated."

Therefore, "The Bachelor" Ben Higgins, who is reportedly engaged to Lauren Bushnell, has chosen the lady from West Linn, Oregon over JoJo Flectcher.

"However, granting that Bushnell really won 'The Bachelors 2016,' the fact that she is allowed to post a photo of herself with an engagement ring on Instagram," the outlet raised. "It would also be even more questionable if she was asked to do it to boost the ratings of the ABC reality dating game show."

Considering that the current season of the ABC dating reality show has to beat the ratings of the previous season with Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff, could the rumors saying that Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell are already engaged be a publicity stunt?

In the meantime, "Us" magazine reported that a "brutal" finale is expected.

In its interview with show creator Mike Fleiss disclosed that the former football player would be saying "I love you" to two of the three remaining women.

"Ben was just following his heart," he told the publication, "but it caused considerable drama."

Do you believe that "The Bachelor" Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell are already engaged even weeks prior to the final night?
