Ben Higgins is ready to introduce his girlfriend to the world.
After much excitement and anticipation, The Bachelor fan-favorite took to social media on Wednesday afternoon to make his relationship with Jessica Clarke Instagram official.
“I’ve been selfishly keeping this girl to myself for too long! Hey friends meet @jessclarke_!” he wrote to his followers. “I successfully slid into her DM’s a few months ago. I took a risk and I am glad I did. She is someone special, and I look forward to where life is going to take us.”
Ben continued, “Stay tuned for the journey. In addition, this picture was taken this week in Honduras. I got to spend some time with an incredible group of people from all over the USA on a @generous_coffee_ adventure. Life is good!”
In this week’s episode of Ben’s iHeartRadio podcast, his co-host Ashley Iaconetti revealed that Jessica will be a guest on the Almost Famous show this coming Monday.
“This is the most fantastic, heartwarming thing! I’m so happy for you!!!” Ashley shared in the comments section. Wells Adams added, “#HottyToddy.”
Back in January, Ben first revealed on his podcast that he had been dating someone and was currently in a long-distance relationship.
As he tried to keep her identity under the radar, those close to him stayed loyal but also revealed how happy he was.
“Everybody is buzzing about this. No [I haven’t met her], but I know that they’ve been going back and forth on flights to see each other over the past couple of months,” Ashley revealed to E! News at OK! Magazine‘s Pre-Grammys party. “He definitely seems very happy.”
So who is Ben’s new love? Let’s take a look at everything we know about Jessica so far!
