Most fans of "The Bachelor" Season 20 rejoiced when Ben Higgins picked Lauren Bushnell to be his wife. The couple is oozing with chemistry that everyone thought they're perfect for each other. Both now star in their own series, "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After," which chronicled their lives as an engaged couple. The final episode of season 1 just aired, but fans worry that there may no longer be a second season.
Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell have been bombarded with breakup rumors ever since "The Bachelor" Season 20 finale revealed who Higgins picked. These rumors didn't die down and continued on even with "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After's" release. The breakup rumors were intensified during one episode of the series, in which Higgins told his fiancée that they should put their wedding plans on hold.
Fans of Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell were concerned that the pair had called it quits, but the former bachelor confirmed to ET that they are still very much engaged. Still, there is that concern on whether or not "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After" will continue on for Season 2. In a separate interview with ET, Ben shared that he doesn't know what lies ahead of them when it comes to the reality series. The couple is just trying to focus on their wedding at the moment, and while they will appreciate the opportunity that comes their way, they don't want to get "consumed" by the fate of the series.
Ben Higgins also gave subtle hints about not doing "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After" Season 2. In an interview with Extra, Higgins revealed that he and Lauren Bushnell would rather want a healthy relationship in which they can be a real couple. "The show is stressful. It's hard. You're having somebody around you or up in your business a lot of the day," Higgins said.
Whether or not Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell want to continue "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After" Season 2 remains unclear, but it appears that the couple wants to be away from the spotlight and take a break. This is quite understandable since they have to plan for their wedding - the details of which remain undisclosed.
