"The Bachelor" 2016 is just right around the corner, but rumors are suggesting that this year's searchee, Ben Higgins, is thinking of quitting.
Latest reports are claiming that Ben already has a girlfriend back home in Colorado. He allegedly met Kelly Osborn right after "The Bachelorette," and before he knew he was chosen as the 2016 Bachelor.
"Rumors on the Internet are teasing that there are some issues on the set of The Bachelor, and Ben Higgins no longer wants to participate on the show - but he is obligated by contracts and Chris Harrison and the other producers are basically making him go through the motions and date other women, even though his heart is back in Colorado," Celeb Dirty Laundry reported.
TV execs and Ben have yet to comment about the said rumor.
This was not the first time "The Bachelor" 2016 was slammed with rumors. It was previously hinted that Ben was reportedly seeing either Becca Tilley or "Bachelor in Paradise" star Tenley Molzahn.
"While the show has not yet started, there are already talks that Higgins already has a special someone and that he might drop out of the show, Realty Today reports," Christian Post noted.
"Two of the most prominent names that have come up are After the lead for Bachelor season 20 was announced, she [Tilley] posted a status on Twitter saying Higgins is the guy that she is looking for, the report details."
"Molzhan, on the other hand, is rumored to have dated Higgins before the guy agreed to join The Bachelor. The two reportedly went out a couple of times but split after Higgins decided to be part of the ABC reality dating show."
