People Magazine's: Lauren Bushnell & Ben Higgins' Physical Chemistry Never Went Away, but 'the Emotional Connection Fizzled'

Congrats Lauren, now keep talking and you can catch up to Ben. Blah to both of them. JMO.

@GuardianAngel I guess cause the friend Lizzy posted in front of a fence too and said let's pretend to be a blogger. IDK

Sleuthers knew this, good for her for finally saying something, although she has a lot of catching up to do if she want's to keep up with Ben. Two sentences in total is nothing compared to Ben IMHO.

“I remember during filming Happily Ever After, I was so stressed out, we couldn’t even communicate with one another when we were filming Happily Ever After,” she explains.

“We were just stressed and tired physically,” Bushnell admits, and adds, “Emotionally, I just felt like it wasn’t there anymore.”

ETA: @Cila51290 Thanks I still don't get it, but that's ok.

Lauren visiting her friend Megan in Colorado.  Her daughter Ceyla is Lauren's goddaughter, who Ben also seemed to have a special relationship with:

I like pictures like that where Lauren looks like a real person and not a porcelain doll. Hope she has a good trip. I also always thought Ben and Lauren had chemistry and no friendship to follow it up with. Good to know I was on with that one. I am usually wrong. JMO.

She looks so happy. Getting rid of Ben was the best decision she's ever made.

I don't mind what Lauren said. She's being real and that's the difference between her and BS Ben IMO.

Lauren isn't all 'I'm sads, poor me, I don't even know why we broke up!', she's simply saying that their emotional connection wasn't there, they couldn't communicate. She's not playing the victim, and what she says, makes sense. She's also not talking for Ben, just for herself. Jmo.

Nor is she saying they'll always be besties. Why would they, if it was mostly physical and they could barely stand each other's company for the past several months? Refreshing to hear the honest truth. JMO.

I like Lauren's statement. She highlights her thoughts and no victimology. It validates what many of us saw. I totally believe after Ben's public humiliation of Lauren on canceling the wedding on camera for HEA...the emotional bond was broken beyond repair. I get it. IMO Lauren worked hard to put the double ILY's behind her but having to endure the second blindside by Ben was just to much. Who needs that kind of thoughtless unsupportive love? IMO Lauren is way better off without Ben.

Love the photo of Lauren with her precious godchildren. She looks like the weight of the world has been lifted off her shoulders. I wish her happiness in life.

JMO

Problems during happily ever after? So they would have essentially been done at the one year mark of their relationship or actually a little before that since the show filled July-October. They stretched out the inevitable for an extra 6-8 months. Good for Lauren for getting some of her side out there! IMO.
