It didn’t take Lauren Bushnell long to move on after her split with Bachelor Ben Higgins. Two months after they split, Lauren is exclusively dating a guy from her past.
So much for the “you’re my person” line Ben and Lauren said to each other during the Bachelor finale rose ceremony. After they announced their breakup in May, Lauren moved back to California and it didn’t take long for her to start dating again.
Shortly after she arrived in L.A., she reconnected with Devin Anton, a 28-year-old real estate investor from Los Angeles. Apparently, they met before Lauren went on the Bachelor but they weren’t exclusive. Now they are — and we’re wondering how Ben’s handling this! Judging from the photos below, he’s doing really well.
Lauren isn’t hiding her relationship with Devin. In fact, they were spotted posing for photographs in Maui this week where the couple is vacationing.
Last month, Lauren told TMZ she had “no idea what’s going to happen in my life moving forward,” and she was “open to all things.” When asked if “open” mean a possible reconciliation with Ben, she simply said, “yeah.”
Now it looks like a reconciliation is not happening. E! Online reports that she and Antin are “dating exclusively” and “it happened fast.” Well, not that fast. They’ve known each other for two years.

Considering there were rumors that Ben and Lauren were having issues for months before they officially announced their breakup, it’s not a big deal that’s she already moved on from her Bachelor relationship.
When Ben and Lauren hosted the Disney Wedding special a few months ago it was obvious that they weren’t as smitten with each other as they were during the Bachelor final rose ceremony.
How is Ben doing?
We’re not sure if he’s aware of Lauren’s new relationship, but chances are we will find out soon. If you listen to the Almost Famous podcast he does with Ashley Iaconetti, every topic seems to be fair game. He’s discussed his breakup on the podcast so there’s no doubt he will, at some point, share some tips on “how to move on from your ex when photos of her with a new man are everywhere.”
Meanwhile, Ben is in Honduras doing good things for people. That’s why we love Ben. Oh, and Chris Harrison didn’t completely shoot down the idea that Ben could make a comeback as the Bachelor. Never say never!
And now, let’s take a look at Ben enjoying his time in Honduras. What’s not to love about Ben Higgins? He looks really happy!
What do you think about Lauren’s new relationship? And would you like to see Ben Higgins give the Bachelor another shot?
