Ben Higgins’ Wife Jess Reveals Their First DMs from 2018 in Adorable New Video
Throwing it back!
Ben Higgins and his wife Jess Clarke Higgins got married in November of last year and have been sharing adorable photos and videos from their wedding day ever since.
The two first met back in 2018 and have shared that they first connected by Ben sliding into Jessica’s DMs on Instagram.
Ben has previously shared that as he was scrolling through Instagram, he came across a picture of Jessica and immediately screenshotted the photo.
A few months later, he decided to reach out to her on Thanksgiving and the rest is history!

Now, around four years and a wedding later, Jess shared Ben’s very first message to her as a part of a sweet “Let’s Skip to the Good Part” video.
The trend of showing the beginning of your relationship and then cutting to where you are now is popular on TikTok.
In the first message, which Ben sent on November 22, 2018, he wrote “Ok random request. In the spirit of giving, don’t know how else to do this without it being weird, so please be kind.”
The former Bachelor went on, saying, “If you are first single and second ever in Denver and interested in going out, I would love to take you. Please for now don’t ask how I came by your profile (it’s a long story).”
Jess replied the next day and her message said to “pretend that I replied when it was still Thanksgiving.”

The video then cuts to them smiling holding hands and it cuts again to their vows at the altar.
Jess ends the adorable video with the two of them dancing on their wedding day, and it seriously couldn’t be cuter!
Many of Ben’s fellow Bachelor Nation stars took to the comments of the post to share their love for these two.
Christen Whitney wrote that she’s “Shook by this love story!”
Madison Prewett chimed in, saying, “LOVE THIS!” and Elyse Dehlbom added, “Love you guys!”
We couldn’t agree more! Sending Ben and Jess love today and every day!
