"The Bachelor" 2016 Ben Higgins allegedly flirted with Cassandra Ferguson and Tenley Molzahn at the same time. Multiple reports suggest that Higgins was a true playboy, breaking the hearts of the cast of Bachelor Nation.

According to Reality Steve, Higgins was flirting with Ferguson non-stop. He was reportedly interested in starting a relationship with Ferguson, after the latter finished filming "Bachelor in Paradise." Their connection, however, soon fizzled and Ferguson started dating Jonathan Holloway.

Insiders claim that in spite of the constant flirting through text, the two never actually hooked up. Higgins then eventually moved on to wooing Molzahn, which also did not work out.

It was said that Higgins and Ferguson were reportedly still sending texts back and forth just before he was announced as the next Bachelor. He was also spotted having dinner with Molzahn just before the big announcement. Could he be trying to get to the two women at the same time?

According to Star Pulse, Higgins was only trying to have options just in case he was not chosen to be the next bachelor. Even if the reality star has always been one of the fan favorites in "The Bachelorette" 2015, Higgins reportedly had second thoughts if he will be given another chance.

The outlet pointed out that Higgins may just be making sure if he truly had no emotional connections with his co-stars before being in another reality series. He was allegedly weighing his options before deciding which direction he wanted to go in.

"The Bachelor" season 20 premieres Jan. 4, 2016 on ABC.
