Lauren Bushnell finds Ben Higgins' rumored return to Bachelor 23 "scary," but is all for it

After their split which came as quite a surprise, Lauren Bushnell is all supportive about her former fiance's life decisions.

After Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins got engaged during Season 20, their not-so-private split made headlines. So when she commented on Ben's rumored return as the next bachelor on season 23 we were all ears.

Monday night at a Bachelorette screening, she told USWeekly, “Um, I mean … I hold my tongue. No, I’m just kidding! I hope he finds someone honestly, like, he’s such a good guy and he would make such a good husband...So no matter what avenue he wants to go about to find that, I’m supportive.”

The former flight attendant also added, "If he does go through with it again I hope it works out because I can’t imagine going through what I went through and I’m sure what he went through on his end, twice...So for me personally if I were in his position, that would be scary. But I also don’t think that should ever hold you back from a good opportunity or experience or possibly finding someone to spend your life with.”
