'The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons - Ever!': Jared opens up about Kaitlyn in Ashley's presence, fans find it bizarre
While it is hard for us to imagine Jared Haibon with anybody aside from Ashley laconetti, there was a time when he shared a strong bond with former 'Bachelorette' star Kaitlyn Bristowe. Way before Jared and Ashley were a thing, he came on 'The Bachelorette' Season 11 in the hopes of wooing Kaitlyn. Although Kaitlyn and he instantly hit it off, things didn't work out for the beautiful couple, as she eliminated him from the show.
On the latest episode of 'The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons -- Ever', we saw the host Chris Harrison take us a walk down the memory lane of Kaitlyn's season as the bachelorette. When discussing the highlights from the season, the name Jared inevitably popped up. After watching one of the most romantic dates in the franchise history between Kaitlyn and Jared, Chris decided to get in touch with Jared.
On a Zoom call with Jared and his wife Ashley, Chris decides to pick Jared's brain about his connection with Kaitlyn. It was extremely awkward to watch Jared seated next to his wife and reminiscing about his former flame. Although Jared time and again looked at Ashley to make sure she is alright with him discussing other women, she took it like a champion and assured him that it was totally fine. So, Jared proceeded to awkwardly explain how Kaitlyn will always have a special place in his heart, while his wife continued glaring at him.
Fans couldn't help but cringe while watching the interview between the couple and Chris Harrison. A fan tweeted, "LOL this interview w Ashley and Jared is making me cringe #TheBachelorGOAT." Another fan wrote, "Chris Harrison asking Jared what he thi is about his time on the Bachelorette in front of Ashley is soooo awkward. #TheBachelorette #TheBachelorGOAT." "Who else felt SO awkward watching Jared talk about past seasons right next to Ashley I? #TheBachelorGOAT," asked a fan. Another fan echoed similar thoughts with, "Oh man this conversation with Jared and Ashley is super awkward #TheBachelorGOAT." "So bizarre seeing Jared sitting next to Ashley talking about his relationship with Kaitlyn. SO WEIRD. #TheBachelorGOAT," declared a fan.
