What?!

Filming for The Bachelor's twentieth season kicked off Thursday night, and Mike Fleiss tweeted a picture of Higgins in a suit and tie holding a baby. Naturally, fans might assume one of Higgins' 25 contestants brought a baby with her to the mansion.

However, The Bachelor creator revealed the infant that Higgins, 27, is holding happens to be Fleiss' baby son also named Ben.

"The Bens on night one!!!" Fleiss captioned the cute picture on Twitter.

The term "the Bens" is not new considering Higgins and fellow The Bachelorette contestant Ben Zorn were often clumped together as two of the nicest and most attractive guys from Kaitlyn Bristowe's season.

As previously reported, Higgins was fairly interested in Bachelor in Paradise star Tenley Molzahn and vice versa, however, there's a slim chance Molzahn will go on the show to fight for his heart.

"She and Ben had the opportunity to get to know each other and I think if they connected on the level that Kaitlyn and [Nick Viall] did, it would be a different story," a source told E! News. "Also, Tenley wants to be pursued, not the pursuer and she doesn't want to be put in the insecure position of competing with a bunch of girls."

The Bachelor's next edition starring the software salesman premieres Monday, January 4 on ABC.
