"I think I'm excited about what experiences are next in life. Just like I never expected to be on 'The Bachelorette,' I never expected to be the Bachelor," Higgins told E! "I don't know what to expect next and I'm open to anything."

Another star from the dating reality series is rumored to be considering becoming part of the dance show's cast. Kaitlyn Bristowe, the star of "The Bachelorette" season 11 and also Higgins' ex-girlfriend, is reportedly interested in acquiring the Mirror Ball trophy.
