14 Reasons Ben Higgins Will Be the Perfect Bachelor For Season 20, Officially Confirmed During #AfterParadise

thehollywoodgossip.com

Prepare to swoon, ladies! Ben Higgins has officially been announced as the new bachelor. The charming, 6’4″ 26-year old will be gracing the televisions of fans all around in season 20 of “The Bachelor.” Higgins was part of Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of “The Bachelorette” and captured the hearts of many. He made it to the final three, but was ultimately eliminated the week before the finale.

Us Weekly exclusively announced earlier this month that Higgins would be the next bachelor, however, it was not officially confirmed until Aug. 24 during the special “After Paradise.”

According to ABC, Higgins grew up in the town of Warsaw, Indiana but currently resides in Denver, Colorado. Some of his interests include cooking, sports, hiking and more. He is also an ardent traveler and passionate adventurer.

Here are 14 reasons why Ben will be the quintessential bachelor:

1. He is a total gentleman

This wonderful girl deserves happiness. Much respect for you @kaitlynbristowe and glad you were our bachelorette. pic.twitter.com/N5yhtA8w5N

After all the drama that Kaitlyn Bristowe endured last season, including cyberbullying, Ben stood by her. He said multiple times, including the night of the Men Tell All, that he was glad that Kaitlyn was his bachelorette.

2. He is not afraid to speak his mind

He fired back at Corey, who was eliminated week five, at the Men Tell All. When Corey agreed with Ian that Kaitlyn was a horrible bachelorette, Ben retorted back, questioning him as to how many weeks he was there. Basically, speaking up to say that Corey had no place saying anything disrespectful.

3. He has a good sense of humor

Oh to the mornings you wake up feeling puffed up…then God says "slow your roll" and within 2 min you bang your shin and stub your toe…

Anyone answer me why seals do not watch shark week? It would potentially save a ton of lives. These are some of life's biggest questions.

@alyciatugwell Bows don't look good on me, I am more of a tigger suit type of guy…does that work? pic.twitter.com/q431Kl388Z

Unfortunately, he didn’t get to show off much of that humor during “The Bachelorette.”

4. He is a fan of NEEDTOBREATHE

New music suggestion I don't know if I have let anyone down so far but I promise @NEEDTOBREATHE is good jams for any occasion.

NEEDISAYMORE?

5. He is very open about his feelings and fears

During a one-on-one date with Kaitlyn last season, he expressed to her one of his biggest fears, explaining, “The idea that you could be not loved back or maybe possibly unlovable.” Being open to those types of conversations makes for a great bachelor.

Fans, of course, did not agree with his sentiment of being “unlovable”
