Higgins is married to Jessica Clarke. He went solo to the “golden wedding,” explaining in a January 5 Instagram story why his wife didn’t attend.
“She could not get off work because she runs a crazy busy skin clinic,” Ben wrote, according to US Weekly. “And she really cares about her clients and seeing them as often as they need!”
Clarke “wanted to be there but I had to represent the Higgins at The Golden Wedding!” he wrote, adding that he was “back home with her and Waylon now!” referring to their dog.
Higgins met Clarke through Instagram. “She’s a very kind, pure, emphatic and supportive person in general. And she’s not only like that to me. I’m part of that, but she’s like that to everybody around her,” Higgins told US Weekly about Clarke in 2019. “She challenges me to be more empathetic, more loving, more caring, more kind as well. So I’m very happy.”
