The 28-year-old recently surprised fans of the reality show by inviting fellow contestant Nick Viall to join him and create a Movember team to help raise awareness for men's health. You can donate to their team here.
E! News caught up with Booth to chat about the cause that's so close to his heart as well as his upcoming wedding to Kaitlyn Bristowe.
"Prostate cancer is something that I'm very passionate about and runs in my family and has affected some of my family members," Booth told us when asked why he felt compelled to join the challenge.
Booth hopes to use his platform to really make this "a big deal," and they've set a goal to raise $100,000. All their differences aside, Booth says he and Viall are "both just trying to do as much as we can for the greater good, and really do something big here."
In addition to leading the fundraising charge for Movember, Booth is settling into home life with his fiancé quite nicely.
"We've actually probably spent no more than 4 hours apart from each other since the finale," he shared. "We've been with each other every single day since then."
Booth further opened up about their special bond, saying, "It's real, it's genuine, and every day we learn more about each other. She's an amazing person and she's 100% wife material."
Speaking of wife material, Booth says wedding planning is in their immediate future, we're "going to set a date after the New Year." The reason for the delay is simply due to the fact that the couple is "all over the place right now," traveling, and enjoying their time together.
And while the two are never without one another nowadays, Booth admits the time they spent apart following filming was really hard.
"Especially to have to sit around for 10 weeks without anyone knowing that we were together, I mean that was absolutely brutal."
As filming for the new Bachelor season dwindles, Booth jokes that Ben Higgins should keep a close watch on his phone bill. "Hopefully the girl he ends up with is not in a different country, so you don't have to worry about your phone bill. The first time we got a phone bill after we were on the show, we each had $2,000 phone bills."
Booth added, "He's an amazing guy. I can't wait to see who he ends up with. I know it's getting pretty close to the end, so it's pretty exciting."
