Higgins is best known for his reality television journey in the 'The Bachelor' franchise. He began his on-screen career as a contestant on the 11th season of "The Bachelorette." This led to his starring role in the 20th season of "The Bachelor" and subsequent appearances in "Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?" and "The Bachelor Winter Games."

Higgins is also a published author. His book, "Alone in Plain Sight," is a testament to his openness about personal struggles, including a past painkiller addiction and mental health challenges. Personal experiences and insights, such as the benefits of abstaining from premarital sex, are topics he candidly discusses. This transparency extends to his views on "The Bachelor" franchise, where he has openly critiqued the handling of various controversies within the show.

Higgins' personal life, particularly his relationship with wife Jessica Clarke, also garners attention. The couple, who are expecting their first child, tied the knot in a ceremony attended by fellow 'Bachelor' franchise alumni.

Higgins' engagement in public speaking and sharing personal stories is notable, as seen in his book and his hosting stint on "Bachelor Live."
