And Ben, 31, is eager to be in a hurry and tell People, ‘I mean, it’s been a year back now. I made this commitment that I have been making with her for a long time and it is just being pushed back. ‘
Pause: Ben Higgins of Bachelor fame says it was ‘difficult’ for his fiancée Jess Clarke to postpone the marriage
Higgins, who was the lead man in season 20 of The Bachelor, said he leaves most of the planning to Jess, who he says has a “hard” time with all the uncertainty.
“I think it was very difficult for Jessica,” Higgins said. ‘I think the hard part is just sitting in the back of your mind, like,’ We can plan with this thing, and it might not happen. This can be completely changed. ‘
“It’s hard. It also tries to plan it so that grandparents can hopefully come and so they can be there to celebrate with us. I think this is the part that is most stressful, just not knowing. ‘
Bad timing: The couple got engaged in March, just as the pandemic started taking hold
Unfortunately, ‘It has not been ideal for us over the past year,’ Higgins admitted.
The couple is also ready to tie the knot so they can complete the relationship, and they had earlier revealed their decision to wait until their wedding night to have sex.
“It has not been ideal for us over the past year,” Higgins admitted.
‘Because the plans, of course, as I said, have changed quite drastically over the last year. It was not part of our plan to wait a year and a half. This had to happen because of COVID. ‘
The couple announced their engagement at the end of March, just as the coronavirus lockout began to sink in as the new normal.
