Growing up, Lauren was very interested in singing and dancing. She eventually attended Whitworth University, and graduated with a degree in business management. She initially did modelling work, and appeared in several publications, before she transitioned to working as a flight attendant. Her popularity and net worth would increase significantly when she then participated in the 20th season of “The Bachelor” as one of the contestants.
“The Bachelor” is a dating and reality television series which began in 2002, which became highly successful and lead to various spin-off shows. The show’s premise is that a single bachelor starts with a pool of romantically interested ladies, from whom he will eventually select a wife. Throughout a season, each of the candidates is eliminated until he can make a final selection.
There have been several twists to the format of the show depending on the bachelor or the contestants’ prerogatives. The 20th season of “The Bachelor” featured software salesman Ben Higgins, who was previously a part of the 11th season of “The Bachelorette” which featured Kaitlyn Bristowe, actually placing third during the competition. Contestants in this season of the show included runner-up Becca Tilley and Amber James, news anchor Olivia Caridi, and Joelle Fletcher who is the half-sister of Ben Patton. This season found them travelling to numerous places around the US, and the cast also went to The Bahamas and Mexico. Bushnell would eventually win the competition, during which her social media pages also grew rapidly.
After the show, the couple appeared in their own reality series entitled “Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After?” The show aired on a sister network called Freeform, but was short-lived. Rumors about their breakup started circulating, but the two apparently cleared the situation stating that they hadn’t separated, and they had a good relationship. However, their relationship did end in 2017.
Lauren has also tried her hand at acting, and appeared in the 2017 film “Famous in Love” starring Bella Thorne. She also continues to increase her net worth through blogging.
For her personal life, since Bushnell’s engagement to Ben Higgins she has apparently been single. She remains highly active on social media, having over 1.2 million followers on Instagram and well over 200,000 on Twitter.
