I love my boyfriend. 💜A post shared by Ashley Iaconetti (@ashley_iaconetti) on May 22, 2018 at 6:44pm PDT
I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possibleA post shared by Jared Haibon (@jaredhaibon) on May 22, 2018 at 6:21pm PDT
In their YouTube clip dedicated to their rekindled relationship, Haibon said of his first impression of Ashley:
“I never felt like it was over between us after Paradise. I’m not gonna lie and say that I was in love with Ashley during BiP. It was a slow build for me.”
It wasn’t until he went on BIP Australia that he felt himself wishing the 30-year-old had been there (aw), but she was back home in another relationship with her Bachelor Winter Games costar Kevin Wendt.
He said of that time:
“I was sad. Sometimes I need a kick in the ass. That was a big kick in the ass.”
So, back in January on a trip to St. Lucia with Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, Jared made a move and kissed her at the airport. But… Ashley I. decided to continue giving her relationship with Kevin a go:
“I thought ├óΓé¼╦£Okay, well that’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but I’m definitely gonna continue dating this other guy. I do like him. He’s pursued me ├óΓé¼┬ª he’s been all in the entire time and I deserve to pursue somebody else and for somebody else to pursue me after all this time.'”
When Winter Games finally aired, she realized it was really Jared that she was meant to be with… and the rest is history!
