Lauren Bushnell, the winner of The Bachelor star Ben Higgins' heart, is reportedly envious of upcoming The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher.

Sources are claiming Bushnell -- who appears happily engaged to Higgins -- is green with envy over his ex-girlfriend Fletcher and her new gig as the Bachelorette.
"It's definitely weird that The Bachelor winner is jealous of the runner-up, but she is," a source recently told Life & Style. "JoJo is having the time of her life filming The Bachelorette, and Lauren's just a girl with a fiance."
Bushnell is currently adjusting to life in Denver, CO, with Higgins. The couple has been documenting their love all over social media since The Bachelor's Season 20 finale aired in March.
Only four days ago, Bushnell posted a photo on Instagram of herself with engagement-ring designer Neil Lane and the following caption: "Thanks Neil for making my ring fit perfectly! Also for making the most beautiful ring I've ever laid my eyes on. Now that my ring fits perhaps I should start wedding planning."

But according to one insider, Bushnell is still tormented over the fact Higgins had also expressed his love to Fletcher on the show.
"They're out of the honeymoon phase," a friend of the couple told Life & Style. "[Lauren is] no longer excited for the wedding because she thinks friends and family are still whispering about Ben being in love with JoJo. It's ruining the marriage process for her."
Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette is set to premiere Monday, May 23 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
