"Bachelor" stars Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell are happily engaged and planning to start a new life together in Denver.
However, the past few months haven't been the easiest for the couple.
Bushnell admitted that she's had moments of frustration with her new fiancé, including learning that Higgins had also professed his love for JoJo Fletcher during the production, which Bushnell described as "hurtful."
"This whole thing has been an emotional roller coaster," she told reporters Tuesday. "As these episodes are airing, and you're reliving it, you're reliving those emotions."

Higgins, 27, proposed to Bushnell with a 4.25 carat diamond ring in the season finale of the ABC reality TV show.

Still, questions about Higgins' relationships with the other women would sometimes emerge.
"Ben is such a good listener and so good at understanding, that it's helped me get through those times if I am feeling upset or confused," she added.
