        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p ><strong>Ben Higgins</strong> is off the market.</p><p>On Friday, the former &#8220;Bachelor&#8221; star, 31, got engaged to longtime girlfriend Jessica Clarke.</p><p>&#8220;I don’t remember everything you said, but I know that I said yes. I woke up in a dream today and I get to live in this dream every day from now on (eeeep),&#8221; <strong>Clarke shared Saturday on Instagram</strong>, along with shots of the scenic proposal.</p><p>Higgins, who has been linked to Clarke since early 2019, initially planned to propose in New York, where he and Becca Kufrin <strong>were set to co-host &#8220;The Bachelor: Live on Stage&#8221;</strong> earlier this month, <strong>according to Entertainment Tonight</strong>. Amid the coronavirus outbreak, he changed course and popped the question in Franklin, Tennessee, close to Clarke&#8217;s family.</p><p>&#8220;I went back to a pond behind her house, and we had set it up with sunflowers near a bench. It&#8217;s right in their backyard, but a little hidden. I proposed and her family and mine were watching from a distance, and then we all celebrated together,&#8221; Higgins told the publication.</p><p>Though Higgins had designed Clarke&#8217;s engagement ring for three months with Denver&#8217;s Gnat Jewelers, he got the sparkler &#8220;two days before [they] came to [Tennessee].&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m pretty happy with it. It took a lot of work and big team effort,&#8221; Higgins said.</p><p>Higgins first appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe&#8217;s season of &#8220;The Bachelorette&#8221; in 2015. He became &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221; a year later, and got engaged to finalist Lauren Bushnell. The couple called it quits in 2017.</p>]]></content:encoded>
