We’re sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, well, that’s our job sometimes: “Bachelor” star and Denverite Ben Higgins’ fairytale relationship is as gone as his political career.

Higgins, 29, and his fiancée, Lauren Bushnell, 27, broke off their relationship this week, according to E! News.

“We feel fortunate for the time we had together, and will remain friends with much love and respect for one another,” the couple said in a joint statement released to People magazine.

As you may recall, Higgins announced his candidacy for Colorado House District 4 last summer only to withdraw less than a week later due to “unforeseen concerns.”

Many speculated that Disney, owner of the channel Freeform, which was set to air reality show “Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?”, forced Higgins’ hand over concerns that featuring a show starring the Republican would lead viewers to assume the network supported then presidential candidate Donald Trump.

At the time, “Colorado GOP Chairman Steve House said in a statement that Disney and ABC threatened Higgins to drop out,” according to The Denver Post.

What’s Higgins up to now? According to a LinkedIn profile appearing to be his, the newly single Higgins is working as the vice president of business development at Talisys, a financial services company in the Denver metro.

With no one and nothing standing in his way, will Higgins re-enter the political arena? We’ve reached out to him and have yet to hear back. We’ll let you know if we do.
