Who are 'The Bachelorette' star Aven Jones' parents?
Aven and his family appear to be very private people. 'The Bachelorette' star very rarely shares details of his personal life on social media, so we couldn't find any details about Aven's parents. However, Aven did drop some nuggets of information about his family on the ABC show. During one of his dates with Rachel, the 29-year-old revealed that his parents separated when he was very young. He lived with his father for most of his childhood. Having spent most of the time with his father, Aven found it difficult to connect with his mother when he was later sent to live with her. However, the mother-son duo eventually hit it off and are really close to each other today.
As a symbol of her love, Aven's mother made him a bracelet to help him stay hopeful and attract positive vibes during tough times, which he always wears around his wrist. However, when Aven noticed that Rachel was having a hard time facing rejections from her suitors, he removed his bracelet and gave it to her, hoping that it would help Rachel as well. This little gesture won him brownie points from not only Rachel but also the dating show's fans.
In another conversation with Rachel, when she asked him if he brought any girls over to meet his parents, he admitted that he did. While pointing out how important family was for him and how excited he was about introducing her to his parents, the two most important people in the world for him, Aven also added that his exes didn't have the smoothest sailing with his family. He revealed that the first girl he took home, didn't get the seal of approval from his father. Aven's father reportedly felt that she wasn't the right girl for him. His most recent ex reportedly hit a "rough patch" with his mother. After hearing about the poor track record of his exes with his parents, Rachel began feeling nervous about meeting them. But Aven assured her that his parents would absolutely love her and also love them together. This filled Rachel with some hope. We can't wait to watch how things pan out between Aven's family and Rachel during the hometown date.
'The Bachelorette' Season 19 airs on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC.
