Why Ben Higgins And His Fiancée Sleep In Separate Beds
Matthew Perez In his candid conversation with Nick Viall last April, which took place just one month after his engagement, the former Bachelor gave us this glimpse into what's not happening behind closed doors (via YouTube). After Ben Higgins dropped the bombshell that he and his fiancée's current sleeping arrangements are "separate," Nick went one step further to ask if he'd engaged in sexual intercourse in the past week. To that question, the groom-to-be said, "...So definitely not this week and not in, like, the past year and a half."
Nick's co-host, Richelle Meiss, asked if they were waiting for marriage to have sex, and Ben answered in the affirmative. This news, understandably, caused quite a stir in Bachelor Nation as well as closer to home. On his podcast, The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast, Ben did say that it was "weird to have this as now a dinner conversation for her family, my family and Jess and I." But the groom-to-be has no regrets and is not breaking the promise he made to Jess and himself.
