'The Bachelorette' 2016 update: JoJo 'doing good,' finally moved on from Ben
JoJo Fletcher's fans might have been disappointed when Ben Higgins chose Lauren Bushnell over her in the recently concluded "The Bachelor," but it opened a huge opportunity for the brunette beauty as she will star in the next "The Bachelorette." The reality show is set to premiere May 23, Monday on ABC.
With the production of the new season currently in progress, JoJo seems to be holding her own and doing well. Last Friday, she caught up with Good Morning America and shared some thoughts with regards to the men wooing her. "I am connecting with these guys," JoJo said. "I'm having fun with them. I'm actually feeling feelings, which I didn't expect so early on."
Despite the emotional rollercoaster brought about by her break-up with Ben, JoJo remained positive that her 'happy ever after' will soon come. "I want to be engaged," she said. "I want marriage. I want a family, so I feel like this could happen right now," she said.
When asked about how things are going between her and Ben, she said: "Ben and I don't communicate...I spent those last couple of days and weeks trying to recover from my breakup with Ben."
In another interview with E! Online, the 25-year-old seemed to be more open in expressing how she has finally moved on from her previous heartbreak. "Right after my relationship ended with Ben, I had some time at home to think about everything," JoJo said. "I feel like I got to a place where I moved on and I was happy, and then it came to me and I felt like I was more ready than ever. The timing felt right and I was really excited," she added.
Since fans are aching to see if JoJo finds her true love among her 25 suitors, show creator Mike Fleiss has recently been posting some updates from the set through Twitter. Fleiss even revealed how many guys she's kissed and the gifts they brought her. One of his tweets reads: "JoJo is doing great. Happy and enjoying her journey!!"
