These Ben. H Instagrams Are Too Adorable For Words
As per usual, Shawn Booth and Nick Viall were ready to go fisticuffs on the July 14 episode of ABC's The Bachelorette, while sweet Ben Higgins — or Ben H., as he is oft known — avoided the drama by continuing to prove himself as a real-life Prince Charming. It was no surprise that Higgins — the epitome of everything dreamy and right with the world — made it all the way to the Fantasy Suites, but I believe there was a collective gasp heard through the nation when Kaitlyn Bristowe tearfully eliminated our favorite suitor at the rose ceremony. Clearly brokenhearted, Higgins managed to keep his composure and had nothing but sweet things to say about Bristowe during his mournful limo ride home. One limo door closing leads to another opening, however, and Bachelorette fans saw the silver lining in the heartbreaking elimination when it was pretty much confirmed that Higgins will be the next Bachelor when the network's 20th season premieres this fall. Say it with me now: YAS!!
The long-running series has bestowed us with an eclectic mix of Bachelors and Bachelorettes who have made their way through our respective television screens to gain a place in our reality-television-loving hearts. In my humble opinion, though, Higgins is poised to be the most memorable and beloved Bachelor this franchise has ever seen. Not only is he kind, genuine, and personally reminds me of what Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid would look like in real life, but his adorable personality has been showcased both onscreen and off. As if we could fall any more in love with Higgins, taking a gander at his squee-worthy Instagram posts is bound to cause a universal explosion of hearts. In celebration of Higgins' unparalleled cuteness, let's take a look at his most adorable Instagrams. You. Are. Welcome.

Even the most mature of us would have trouble sending well wishes to someone who broke our heart — and on national television, no less! Higgins is a class act through and through.
