ABC Latest News | Latest News Videos

Software salesman Ben Higgins has been announced as the latest heartthrob to seek love in the 20th season of THE BACHELOR. He stops by GOOD MORNING AMERICA to chat about what the upcoming gig means to him.

Bachelor Nation was heartbroken when fan favorite Ben Higgins, the charming software salesman, was sent home by Kaitlyn Bristowe on the 11th edition of "The Bachelorette." Ben saw a "great life" with Kaitlyn, only to have it disappear before him when he was left without a rose. It wasn't easy for Ben to open himself up to love on "The Bachelorette" because he's been hurt in past relationships.

However, now knowing he is capable of being in love and being loved, he is ready to put the heartbreak behind him as he searches for his one true love when he stars in the milestone 20th season of ABC's hit romance reality series, "The Bachelor," returning to ABC in January 2016. The announcement was made live tonight on ABC's "Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise" show.
