‘The Bachelor’ 2018 Spoilers: Arie Dumps Winner For Runner-Up After Finale, Report Claims

“The Bachelor” is only on episode 5 but, as previously reported, Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s winner has already been revealed, and then some.

Ahead of ABC’s Season 22 premiere of the dating series, it was reported by notorious spoiler blogger Reality Steve that the former race car driver chose contestant Rebecca “Becca” Kufrin as his winner. Now, it seems “The Bachelor” star may have changed his mind.

Despite reportedly being engaged to the 27-year-old, it is now being reported by Reality Steve that the ABC star has called off his engagement in favor of being with his runner-up, Lauren Burnham.

“Arie ended his engagement with Becca a little over a week ago and is now dating Lauren,” the site’s bombshell report reveals.

Rumors that Arie may have regretted his decision to propose to Becca during the finale started surfacing last week after a photo of cars outside Lauren’s home in Virginia were released followed by reports that ABC’s cameras were filming inside. Arie was also said to be with Lauren at the time.

“That’s why he was in Virginia last week at Lauren’s parents house,” the site explained.

While ABC and “The Bachelor” cast members involved have not talked about this rumor, Becca’s recent Instagram story posts hint at the speculated breakup. One photo showed her kissing her cat with the caption, “At least she still loves me.” Another image she posted this week showed flowers wilting in a bouquet accompanied with the caption “mood.”

While Arie’s decision to change his winner may shock viewers when the finale airs, Arie has made it clear on more than one occasion that he fell in love with two women this season.

During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in January he said, “I did fall in love. With two women.” After host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly asked if he could pick both contestants, Arie said there were rules against it.

Will Arie actually pick Becca only to dump her for Lauren? Viewers will have to stay tuned to find out. “The Bachelor” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
