It looks like a wedding between The Bachelor‘s Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell won’t be happening anytime soon.

During the latest episode of Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?, the couple revealed that they had called off the wedding during a couples therapy session.

While Ben expressed that he wants to marry Lauren eventually, he explained that he didn’t want to rush things, especially since the process had been so nontraditional.

“The wedding’s off…I think this thing sped up real fast, and we haven’t had a second to breathe,” Ben expressed.

Lauren went on to explain that she was totally blindsided and hurt by Ben‘s comments as she had left her life and job in LA to come live in Denver with him.

Although the couple haven’t split, the wedding is officially off for now.

We hope Ben and Lauren are able to work through this!
