ABC has picked Ben Higgins to headline "The Bachelor" season 20. It is his turn to find true love after failing to establish a love connection with Kaitlyn Bristowe in season 11 of "The Bachelorette." But rumor has it that the software salesman from Denver, Colorado has already found the one even before the show has taken off. 

Apparently, Higgins started dating Tenley Molzahn from "Bachelor in Paradise." The relationship is allegedly being kept a secret and other reports claim that the two already chose to stop anything that's developing between them because Higgins is already on board the ABC series. Yibada, however, says that some fans are not convinced the two have completely broken off. 

To make the matter more complicated, there are other girls being linked to the would-be leading man of "The Bachelor" 2016. There are reports claiming that he already has a girlfriend back in his hometown. OK Magazine, on the other hand, wrote about the 27-year-old bachelor hanging out with a girl named Kelly Osborn during a Taylor Swift concert earlier this month. 

All these reports beg the question of whether or not Higgins will be the star of the new season of the reality dating show. ABC and Higgins are keeping their lips tight on the matter. There are speculations, though, that shooting has already commenced and he has already met some of the girls joining him in his journey for love. 

Celeb Dirty Laundry, however, says that there are problems on set although the site did not provide details. The publication says that while this apparently makes the show a lot less appealing to Higgins, he is still doing it because he has already signed the contract. 

There are tons of rumors and speculations about Higgins not pushing through with the show anymore, but unless he himself or the network confirms it, it is best to take these with a pinch of salt. 

"The Bachelor" season 20 is expected to start airing in January 2016.
