Ben Higgins<\/strong> is ready to introduce his girlfriend to the world.<\/p>\n

After much excitement and anticipation, The Bachelor<\/em> fan-favorite took to social media on Wednesday afternoon to make his relationship with Jessica Clarke<\/strong> Instagram official.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been selfishly keeping this girl to myself for too long! Hey friends meet @jessclarke_!” he wrote<\/a> to his followers. “I successfully slid into her DM’s a few months ago. I took a risk and I am glad I did. She is someone special, and I look forward to where life is going to take us.”<\/p>\n

Ben continued, “Stay tuned for the journey. In addition, this picture was taken this week in Honduras. I got to spend some time with an incredible group of people from all over the USA on a @generous_coffee_ adventure. Life is good!”<\/p>\n

In this week’s episode of Ben’s iHeartRadio podcast<\/a>, his co-host Ashley Iaconetti<\/strong> revealed that Jessica will be a guest on the Almost Famous<\/em>\u00a0show this coming Monday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“This is the most fantastic, heartwarming thing! I’m so happy for you!!!” Ashley shared in the comments section. Wells Adams<\/strong> added, “#HottyToddy.”<\/p>\n

Back in January, Ben first revealed on his podcast that he had been dating someone<\/a> and was currently in a long-distance relationship.<\/p>\n

As he tried to keep her identity under the radar, those close to him stayed loyal but also revealed how happy he was.<\/p>\n

“Everybody is buzzing about this. No [I haven’t met her], but I know that they’ve been going back and forth on flights to see each other over the past couple of months,” Ashley revealed to E! News at OK! Magazine<\/em>‘s Pre-Grammys party. “He definitely seems very happy.”<\/p>\n
