He may not quite be the Virgin Bachelor that Sean Lowe was but Ben Higgins' faith seems to play just as big a role in Season 20 of ABC's hit dating TV show. According to the latest gossip news updates, the 2016 lead has all but banded kissing his 28-contestants. Word has it that despite his dedication to his faith, however, Higgins had three overnight dates with three different women - making the chance of hanky-panky highly probable.
He may not be totally dedicated to abstinence in the way the Sean Lowe once was, but Ben Higgins claims that he isn't going to be using his time as Bachelor as an excuse to kiss all the girls.
During his interview in the latest January 11, issue of InTouch, Higgins explains that he wanted to make sure to fall in love with more than just the contestants' looks:
"I think [kissing is] always important in a relationship and that comes with time.
"It was something I wanted to hold back from as things started."
For all his insisting to be morally superior to his predecessors, Wet Paint points out that Ben found himself spending the night with three different women during his time as The Bachelor lead:
"Ben did have overnight dates with all three women before eliminating one at the rose ceremony.
"Whether they all had sex in the suites is unclear, but considering Ben told Kaitlyn last season he's not a virgin, there's a good chance he did sleep with at least one or two of them."
What do you think of the new Bachelor?
Does Ben Higgins really seem as devoted to chastity as he pretends?
Or, is Ben's vows to keep the kissing to a minimum as real as Sean Lowe's dedication to abstinence?
