The two now star on their own reality show called Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?, and on Tuesday’s episode Ben expressed that he wanted to call things off.

“I feel like we have so much to figure out that it’s hard for me at this point to really feel comfortable getting married.”

He then went on to say “I’m not leaving you. I’m not. Don’t think that for a second.”

Later in the episode Lauren seemed pretty understanding about Ben’s sudden change of heart.

“If Ben needs a little more time to feel comfortable getting married, that he should really have it because in the end, it won’t matter if this wedding’s a little bit later.”

Ben and Lauren are not the first couple to call off their engagement following their engagement on the show. Overall The Bachelor has had a 41 percent success rate of couple’s staying together, and there has been a 33 percent success rate for The Bachelorette.
