The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher has shared her reaction to news her ex-boyfriend and former The Bachelor star Ben Higgins has landed a new reality show with fiancee Lauren Bushnell.

Freeform -- which was formerly known as the ABC Family network until it rebranded earlier this year -- announced last month it had ordered a new show for Higgins and Bushnell, who got engaged at the end of The Bachelor's twentieth season, called Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After.
"That's so exciting!" Fletcher told Entertainment Tonight while filming The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All this past Saturday in Los Angeles.
Fletcher's reaction might come as a surprise to fans considering Higgins told her that he loved her before crushing her heart at the final Rose Ceremony on his season. However, Fletcher remained great friends with Bushnell.
"I just talked to Lauren the other day and I am just excited for them," Fletcher revealed, proving she has no hard feelings toward the couple. "I'm just excited to watch it and see how it plays out."

Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After premieres in October 2016 and will feature the pair preparing to walk down the aisle while navigating the real world, coming off of the exotic dates and Fantasy Suites on The Bachelor.
Hopefully Fletcher's closure from Higgins is partly due to the fact she found true love on The Bachelorette's currently-airing twelfth season.
