Is Ben Higgins married?
Ben Higgins is not married. However, he is engaged to his girlfriend, Jessica Clarke. Ben came across a picture of Jessica on social media and instantly fell for her. He decided to slide into her DMs and managed to get a reply back.
“We’re great. It’s fun. It’s just healthy…I think she would say the same,” he said about their relationship. “I’m a better version of myself, a more free version of myself than I’ve been in a while.”
Even though the pair had been in a long-distance relationship for most of the time, Ben admitted he wouldn’t change a thing. “Long-distance has its benefits because it forces us to be intentional with our time,” he said.

Ben reflects on the proposal
The Bachelor star knew that Jessica was the one for him. He made sure that the proposal took place in a sweet, close to home manner. “I went back to a pond behind her house, and we had set it up with sunflowers near a bench. It’s right in their backyard, but a little hidden,” he recalled. “I proposed and her family and mine were watching from a distance, and then we all celebrated together.”
He continued, “I was super nervous. She’s my best friend, my partner and I love her. I was nervous to kind of do this whole thing in front of her. I wasn’t anxious, it’s just a big moment!”
