"The Bachelor" Season 20 is none other than Ben Higgins. While the show's upcoming season does not air till Jan. 2016, the new bachelor is already met with controversies and speculations after being spotted with "Bachelor in Paradise" star Tenley Molzahn.
Rumors surrounding Higgins and Molzahn started when the two reality stars were spotted hanging out with former "Bachelor" alums in July, Hollywood Take reported. The chemistry between the two stars was very undeniable, but Higgins reportedly refused to start any relationship with Molzahn, as he was recently chosen to star in the ABC series.
"They want to hook up but haven't. They're being careful not to jeopardize Ben H.'s 'Bachelor' stint," a source said.
While this led to speculations that Molzahn will be pulling a Nick Viall in the upcoming season of "The Bachelor," recent reports from E! News dismissed such rumors and said that Molzahn will not be appearing in the show.
"Also, Tenley wants to be pursued, not the pursuer and she doesn't want to be put in the insecure position of competing with a bunch of girls," a source told the outlet.
If Ben Higgins and Tenley Molzahn are indeed dating in real life even before "The Bachelor" 2016 starts, will this mean Ben H. will drop out of the show? Nick Viall previously expressed his interest in becoming the next bachelor and if Higgins' relationship with Molzahn is true, then Viall might score his third chance at finding love.
