The Bachelorette's second runner-up Ben Higgins has weighed-in on Kaitlyn Bristowe having sex with Nick Viall and not telling him about it on the show.

At The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All taping, Higgins talked about how he felt when finding out Bristowe had told Shawn Booth about her night of intimacy with Viall, but kept it from him. Some fans of the show bashed Bristowe for being unfair to Higgins.

"I respect the fact that she didn't tell me," the 26-year-old software salesman explained to Entertainment Tonight. "I don't know what it would have done to our relationship and I just didn't need to know."

ET also caught up with Bristowe and hoped to receive a different answer to the obvious, most-asked question, "Did you find love on The Bachelorette?" Unfortunately, but as expected, Bristowe didn't budge.

"I don't know if other people say that in other seasons like, 'Yes I found love.' I'm just like, 'I'm really happy,' and that's the story I'm sticking to," said the 30-year-old former dance instructor from Canada.

Higgins got eliminated at the last Rose Ceremony when Bristowe determined Booth and Viall as her Final 2 suitors. Higgins got sent home after having a great overnight, fantasy-suite date in Ireland with Bristowe. She feels any woman would be lucky to have him as a husband and has been campaigned for Higgins to become the next The Bachelor star.

The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All airs Monday, July 20 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
