Ben Higgins & Lauren Bushnell Breakup Rumors And Details: Couple Confirmed Breakup By Sources

Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell have reportedly been spending less time together ever since their reality show, "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After," came to a close last year.

As Higgins and Bushnell breakup rumors gained traction, the 28-year-old reality TV star joined Instagram and posted an adorable message, slamming the split speculation. "No need to respond often to rumors or 'fake news' but the feeling I have in this picture is the same feeling I have for this girl today," he captioned their photo from Jamaica. He further clarified that as reality TV stars, they understand that there will be rumors, but he is happy to share his life with Bushnell.

In response to the breakup rumors, Higgins also opened up with E! Online earlier this year and revealed that "The Bachelor" couple's 2017 agenda is to have more "wedding clarity." He added that they will have a date this year or know exactly when the couple will finally walk down the aisle.

At the same time, Bushnell also posted a photo of herself with her beau, locked in an embrace, captioning it as "We ain't perfect but we trying." The 27-year-old blogger explained that the two have been incredibly busy between filming schedules and holidays and they never really got a chance to sit and plan.
