Its not something Ben or myself have dreamt of.
Our relationship has really grown and built a foundation post-Bacheloreven.
Those things are really important and I hope this new show explores those things.
Ben, for you, was getting into politics something you were interested in before all of this?
BEN:Definitely, yeah.
As those ideas popped into my head, I was like, why not now?
If at any moment, this seems like the right time.
Lauren, what can we expect to see from you?
Im also going to be exploring the blogging world, as Im interested in fashion and beauty.
It will be fun to show everyone that process.
Fans are very excited about the potential for otherBachelor/Bachelorettealums stopping by the show.
Whom do you all keep in touch with?
BEN:I still have a lot of good friends from the show.
I keep in touch with a lot of these guys!
I feel like all my days are consisting of crazy group texts.
Nick [Viall].
Im sure youll see them on the show because they seem to always be around.
Are you all still talking to JoJo?
LAUREN:I dont think Ben is.
[They both laugh.]
No, but I am.
I text her quite frequently just to confirm that shes doing okay.
We also talk about things other thanThe Bachelor.
There is a friendship there.
If you could watch a reality show of any otherBacheloralums, whom would you want to watch?
BEN:Im pretty good friends with JJ and he lives in Denver.
I feel like he would make a pretty entertaining show.
LAUREN:JJ is pretty funny.
Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever Afteris set to air on Freeform in October.
