Where is Ashley Iaconetti now? How 'The Bachelor' star found love with Jared Haibon in 'Bachelor in Paradise'
After its first two episodes that gathered immense attention, Season 25 of ‘The Bachelor’ is leaving no stone unturned to make it spicier and interesting. While the previous episode of Matt James’s season ended on an uncertain note after a suitress passed out during the rose ceremony, the teaser for the next episode, gave us a glimpse of a face familiar to the Bachelor Nation.
For those of you who are still wondering, former ‘The Bachelor’, ‘Bachelor in Paradise ‘ and ‘The Bachelor Winter Games’ contestant Ashley Ianconetti will be gracing the next episode.
Going by the teaser, Ashley will be briefly appearing on the January 18 episode of ‘The Bachelor’. The host, Chris Harrison, recently shared a picture on Instagram with Ashley and Matt and wrote, “Well look who showed up to help @mattjames919 find love! For the record @ashley_iaconetti didn’t cry once in the making of this episode #TheBachelor.” It's evident from Ahsley's Instagram posts that she is spending her time crushing on the new bachelor Matt James while binge-watching the show.
His post was showered with comments, as 'The Bachelor' fans couldn't contain their excitement about having Ashley on the show. However, the majority of them seemed more interesting in learning about her life after her journey on the Bachelor show.
Where is Ashley Ianconetti now?
Ashley first contested on Season 19 of 'The Bachelor' in 2015. While sparks clearly didn't fly between her Chris Soules, she met her future husband Jared Haibon in 'Bachelor in Paradise'. Even though Ashley believed it was "love at first sight" with Jared, the duo didn't walk out of the show as a couple. But, they continued to stay in touch after the show concluded.
When Ashley started dating Kevin Wendt, who she met on 'Bachelor: Winter Games' in 2018, Jared realized his feelings for her and made sure they were conveyed. Ashley soon ended things with Kevin and followed her heart. In May 2018, Ashley and Jared publicly came out as a couple. They got engaged in June and tied the knot in August 2019.
Ashley is focusing on starting a family with Jared
Ashley has been enjoying her married life and her Instagram posts with Jared serve as proof. They often share posts from their daily life and keep their followers updated.
In November 2020, the couple announced on Instagram that they were planning to expand their family. She wrote in her post, "We hope this time next year we’ll have another little stocking up! We’ve been open about our trying to conceive this fall." They are hoping to welcome their bundle of joy by next Christmas.
