As we inch closer to the series premiere of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Ashley Iaconetti is reflecting on her Bachelor Nation roots.
On March 1, Ashley took to Instagram with a reel showing herself heading into glam for a RHORI confessional.
“People are asking me how filming Housewives has differed from The Bachelor…I can’t say much except when you see it, you’ll know. 😂,” she captioned the post.
ICYMI: Ashley met her now-husband Jared Haibon in 2015 on Season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise.
While Jared initially wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, the two remained close friends for years before eventually finding their way back to each other.
In 2019, Jared proposed on the same beach where they first met.
The couple now share two sons: Dawson (born January 31, 2022) and Hayden (born July 22, 2024).
With The Real Housewives of Rhode Island set to premiere April 4 (!!), we’ll likely learn more about Ashley’s post-Bachelor evolution.
And, how her new Housewives chapter compares to her reality-dating origins.
