Bachelor Alum Ben Higgins on Money, Marriage and Everything in Between

The Bachelor franchise used to promise contestants the possibility of two things: true, happily-ever-after love… and a lucrative spotlight. Ben Higgins knows this, probably better than anyone. Many card-carrying members of Bachelor Nation would argue that Ben represents the peak of the franchise, but for Ben, that was just the beginning. Nicole talks to Ben about his business successes and failures, and the sometimes sticky topic of money in relationships. Ben shares how he and his wife Jess tackle their finances, how they navigated the uncomfortable topic of estate planning, and whether a Ben junior is on the horizon.
