“The Bachelor 2016” couple Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell has already started talking about their plans. While the engaged couple has yet to set a date for their supposed televised wedding, it seems like the duo are in a rush to start a family together.
On his Instagram page, Higgins teased "The Bachelor" 2016 fans that Bushnell is already "practicing" being a mother. He shared a photo of his fiancé holding a prop baby Simba, the same way Rafiki was holding the cub in "The Lion King."

Speaking to Good Morning America, Higgins said that they shared quite a laugh on the photo. When asked on the number of kids they want to have in the near future, Bushnell said that she convinced Higgins to have three babies. The reality star said that she really wanted to have three kids and fortunately that is not a problem for Higgins.
While Bushnell and Higgins are already talking about baby plans, the couple also discussed about wedding preparations. Contrary to earlier reports claiming that the two have already broken up, it seems like the couple could not be happier in each other's company.
Speaking to E! News, Bushnell shared that she is beyond excited to get the ball rolling. Although the couple has yet to finalize a date for the highly anticipated ceremony, Higgins said that they were looking at 2016 or early 2017. Unlike other "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" couples, it seems like Higgins and Bushnell do not want a long engagement.
"I don't want to rush is to the point where it's stressful, but I also don't want to wait too long."
Higgins also talked about the possibility of doing a televised wedding. As they met and fall in love in front of their fans, "The Bachelor" 2016 lead admitted that they were actually considering sharing the ceremony to their fans. He explained that he and Bushnell were looking into that opportunity.
"If it's something that seems to be best for us and also for the people who have now watched our love story for the last couple of months then great. If not, we'll definitely celebrate privately with friends and family still," he said.
