Benjamin Higgins, an American television personality and entrepreneur, gained fame as a contestant on ABC’s The Bachelorette and later starred in The Bachelor. Raised in Warsaw, Indiana, he pursued a degree in public affairs at Indiana University, which laid the foundation for his career. After college, he worked as an account manager in Colorado, but his life took a turn when he entered the world of reality television in 2015, where he quickly became a fan favorite.

Higgins’ journey on The Bachelor was marked by his engagement to Lauren Bushnell, which ended in a highly publicized breakup in 2017. This experience, while challenging, taught him valuable lessons about love and connection. Following their split, he and Bushnell starred in their own reality show, Ben and Lauren, Happily Ever After?, which showcased their attempts to navigate life post-engagement.

In 2017, Higgins co-founded Generous Coffee, a business dedicated to supporting nonprofit organizations through its profits. His entrepreneurial spirit also led him to co-own a Middle Eastern restaurant, Ash’Kara. These ventures reflect his commitment to making a positive impact in the community, demonstrating that success can be measured beyond fame.

Higgins has also shared his insights in his memoir, “Alone in Plain Sight,” where he explores themes of connection and the importance of being seen and known. His journey from reality TV star to entrepreneur and author illustrates his growth and the lessons he has learned about relationships, purpose, and the power of community.
