From Ian Thomson calling Kaitlyn Bristowe “shallow” to Clint Arlis falling in love with JJ Jane, The Bachelorette has been full of men who are on the show for the wrong reasons. Although Kaitlyn seems convinced that her future husband is one of the remaining men, current frontrunner Ben Higgins is the latest suitor to have his dishonest motives exposed!

On a recent episode, Ben opened up about his past relationship with ex-girlfriend Shaelin Adams. Although the suitor seems ready to move on with Kaitlyn, he joined the show soon after the duo split! “He told me he loves me a few times even after the breakup,” Shaelin revealed to OK! magazine. “It was hard for him to let go.”
