Ben Higgins Reveals Why He Isn’t Having Sex With Fiancee Jess Clarke Until They’re Married

USmagazine.com:

Keeping it PG-13! Ben Higgins revealed that he’s not having sex with fiancée Jess Clarke until after they tie the knot.

“It’s just a respect level,” Higgins, 31, told Nick Viall during the Wednesday, April 22, episode of the “Viall Files

” podcast, noting that the two have been staying with Clarke’s parents amid the coronavirus quarantine. “And also what the logistics of it is.”

The couple, who got engaged in March, haven’t slept together since they began dating in November 2018.

The former Bachelor star explained that he has “definitely” not had sex in that “last year and a half” and that they are waiting until marriage to do so — at least that’s the plan for now.

Since the lovebirds don’t know when they will walk down the aisle, the former reality TV star admitted that they’ve considered having sex beforehand.
