Did a baby just out-charm Ben Higgins during the first day of "The Bachelor" production for season 20?

The 27-year-old software salesman was given another chance to find love after being rejected by Kaitlyn Bristowe during "The Bachelorette" season 11 .He began working for the upcoming season last week, but another Ben seemed to have stolen the show from him.

One of the show's executive producers Mike Fleiss brought his cute son Ben on the set of the long-running dating reality show and snapped a photo of him with the bigger Ben. He posted the photo on his Twitter account with the caption "The Bens on night one!!!"

Little Ben's charm seemed to rub off on his bigger counterpart, who looked extra dashing as he carried the baby while wearing a crisp dark suit. It would be hard not to fall in love with the new Bachelor in the picture.

But aside from baby sitting on the set, Ben will face the difficult task of choosing a future wife among the 25 women who will join the show next season. In a previous interview with E! News, Ben claimed that he never imagined that he would be in a situation where women will go out of their way to get to know him better so they can have a chance to capture his heart.

In another interview, Ben shared the qualities that he wants his future lifetime partner to possess. "I think when two people are joining lives together there has to be a ton of communication amongst those two people. I think just being able to live life together is what I'm looking for," the Warsaw, Indiana native shared.

"The Bachelor" season 20 will premiere on Jan. 4 on ABC.
