In the recently concluded "The Bachelor," Fletcher lost out to 25-year-old Lauren Bushnell, who was ultimately handed the final rose and is now engaged to "The Bachelor" season 20 star Ben Higgins. Though Fletcher admitted that she spent several weeks getting over Higgins, the new Bachelorette also said that she has no hard feelings towards him and that they are no longer in touch.
Despite her heartache from "The Bachelor," Fletcher said that she's ready for a new relationship and that she wants marriage and a family. "I want to be engaged," she shared.
And it appears that she now has a better idea of what she's looking for in a potential partner.
"I'm looking for a man that can make me feel safe and protected, and somebody that I can trust," Fletcher said.
