Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon, former Bachelor in Paradise alums, announced their engagement on the Bachelor in Paradise show. The couple, who had been dating on and off for three years, got engaged in June 2018 in Rhode Island. They were in full wedding planning mode as they prepare to say their “I dos” in August 2019.
The couple met in Mexico while filming Bachelor in Paradise in 2015. Although they didn’t leave the beach as a couple, they did become close friends. In 2016, the pair went on a few dates, but their relationship got complicated after Jared began a relationship with Calia on BIP season 3.
Ashley announced on Amazon Live that she is pregnant with her second child, Dawson Demitri Haibon, on January 22, 2022. The couple exchanged vows in Rhode Island in August 2019, and two and a half years later, they welcomed their son Dawson in January 2022.
The couple got married in August 2019 and welcomed their son Dawson in January 2022. Ashley and Jared officially met on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 in May 2018. They got engaged in June 2018 while in Mexico for the upcoming fifth season.
In July 2021, Ashley announced that their first child was on the way. The couple’s engagement was confirmed on Monday’s episode of Bachelor in Paradise.

Did Jared and Ashley get divorced?
The road to true love did not run smoothly for these two Bachelor Nation staples. They met in Paradise in season 2, but Jared ultimately broke things off, which made Ashley cry. A lot. Both returned in season 3, and while Jared began dating Caila Quinn, freelance journalist Ashley Iaconetti stayed laser focused on restaurant manager Jared. That season, too, ended with no happily ever after for either. But time heals all Paradise wounds, apparently: In 2018, three years after first meeting on the beaches in Mexico, Ashley and Jared announced they were dating. They married in 2019 and welcomed a son, Dawson, in 2022. Today, Ashley hosts a podcast with former Bachelor Ben Higgins, and Jared owns a coffee house in Rhode Island, where they live. In January 2024, the couple announced that Ashley is pregnant with their second child.
Grocery Joe got the boot on night one of The Bachelorette season 14, but viewers were so smitten, producers cast him on Bachelor in Paradise season 5. He and Kendall Long, a taxidermy enthusiast, broke up on the beach and got back together later — only to break up for good in 2020. Undaunted, Joe agreed to head to Paradise once again in 2021, where he immediately clicked with petite Canadian publicist Serena Pitt. This time, Joe left the beach engaged, and he and Serena had a no-frills wedding in New York last year. The couple lives in NYC and cohost the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast.
After being Mesnicked by Arie in season 22 of The Bachelor, Becca Kufrin did not give up on love. She and Thomas, a real estate broker who got the boot from Katie Thurston in season 17 of The Bachelorette, wound up together in Mexico during season 7 of Paradise. Though they broke up during the show, Becca and Thomas rekindled their flame off camera and ultimately got engaged in May 2022. (And she proposed to him!) The couple welcomed their first child, a boy, in September 2023, and married on Oct. 13, 2023.
What happened between Jared and Ashley?
A year after they met in 2015, Haibon told Bachelor producers that there wasnt anything more than friendship between them. Who knows whatll happen in the future, but for now, Ashley and I are just really good friends, he said. However, by May 2018, the two were officially dating.
After getting engaged within weeks of announcing their romantic relationship, Iaconetti and Haibon tied the knot in August 2019. They went on to welcome their son, Dawson, in late January 2022, and are currently expecting baby No. 2.
The couple reside in Rhode Island, where they run Audreys Coffee House & Lounge.
From that fateful first meeting to coming up with the perfect name for their baby boy, here is a look at Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibons relationship.
Why did Ashley separate from her husband?
We are now both at very different stages in our lives and have different goals for our futures. We both want the other to achieve true happiness and fulfillment and feel that we cannot do this together.
How long did it take for Ashley and Jared to get together?
Ashley and Jared met on season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise, though they didnt officially begin dating until three years later. The friends–turned–lovers were married in 2019. They welcomed their first child, Dawson Demitri Haibon, in January.

How long did Kevin and Ashley date?
Ashley Iaconetti and Kevin Wendt broke up after three months. We now know why. On Ashley’s podcast, she and Kevin explained to Ben Higgins why they broke up. It sounds harsh, but there’s magic. Ashley said they get along well, but there’s something missing. That’s how I feel. Kevin agreed with Ashley. Kevin said that’s normal. If you take away the outside world and just put Ashley and me on an island, we’d probably get along well. I’m very stubborn. We didn’t give up on it. He said Ashley made the right call.
Did Ashley and Jared get engaged on Paradise?
The two got engaged on Season 5 of “Bachelor in Paradise” and tied the knot in August 2019.
Since then, they welcomed their son Dawson last year, and now, Ashley is opening up about having more kids in the future.
During a recent Instagram Q&A, one fan asked Ashley if she and Jared want to have more babies and Ashley was candid with her answer.

Where did Jared propose to Ashley?
Jared Haibon had an audience of Bachelor Nation stars — including Ashley Iaconetti‘s ex-boyfriend Kevin Wendt — when he proposed to her on the beach in Mexico on the Monday, September 3, episode of Bachelor in Paradise.
In a clip posted to the ABC dating shows Twitter account on Monday, host Chris Harrison can be seen introducing the couple to the other contestants, explaining that he counts them as a Paradise success story.
“They have the date card,” he continues. “Were going to set them up down at the beach, each of you will go and talk to them and at the end of the day theyre going to decide who gets that date.”
Did Jared meet his wife on set?
The couple first met while working on Supernatural in 2008, when Genevieve was shooting a scene as a demon in her underwear. The pair got to know each other over the course of a few months before going on their first official date.
A year later, Jared popped the question, and they tied the knot in 2010. The couple have since welcomed three children into their family, along with a slew of farm animals.
In 2021, they acted together once again on the CW show Walker, but this time, they played husband and wife.
Being able to show her off to the cast and crew was awesome, Jared told PEOPLE. She sacrificed so much while I was in Vancouver shooting Supernatural… She was home a lot with the kids, changing diapers and making lunches. So getting her back out with people with similar passions and interests was awesome to see. Its good to flex those muscles again!
What happened between Jared and Caila?
Jared and Caila broke up quickly after they left Paradise, but the ordeal stuck with Caila for years to come. Though shed made a ton of friends through the process of being a part of Bachelor Nation, once Paradise aired she explained that many of the relationships shed counted on for support were no longer there. Because of the decision shed made for herself, Caila was ostracized from the community shed leaned on for support in the past. She felt left out of Bachelor Nation events, especially once Ashley and Jared finally got together and had the full support of the community.
In a recent Instagram story, Caila explained that Bachelor In Paradise was one of the worst experiences shes ever had in her life. She said that it led to the demise of many of the relationships shed fostered in the Bachelor Nation community, leaving her isolated by people she thought she could trust. Now, she typically skips paying much attention to Bachelor In Paradise when it airs because she feels the show gives her a sense of PTSD. She feels traumatized by her time on Bachelor In Paradise, despite having moved on from the experience and building a beautiful family.
Bachelor In Paradise airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
Are Jade and Tanner still together?
Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert made Bachelor in Paradise history by becoming the first couple to get married through the show after beginning their love story on the spinoffs second season. They got engaged in 2015 and married the following year in a televised ceremony. The couple shares three kids: Emerson, Brooks and Reed.
When the production of Bachelor in Paradise‘s fourth season was temporarily halted while investigating a sexual misconduct claim, participants were able to spend some quality time together off-camera. A pair that ended up hitting it off during that time was Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk, who realized they were a good match after a night out at a bar in Dallas. Though they didnt get engaged on the show, they established themselves as a couple and got engaged two years later in 2019 and married in 2021. They have two sons, Gates and Max.
In a moment that shocked Bachelor Nation fans, season 22 bachelor Arie Luyendyk broke off his engagement with Becca Kufrin on camera, deciding that he was meant to be with runner-up Lauren Burnham instead. After getting engaged on After the Final Rose in 2018, they wed the following year. The couple share three kids, Alessi and twins Lux and Senna.
When did Jared and Ashley fall in love?
Summer 2015. Jared and Ashley meet on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 and she immediately falls in love with him.
I remember walking down the steps in Paradise and seeing him at the bar and it was the weirdest feeling, Ash says. I was just so gravitated and drawn to him. It was truly love at first sight.
The pair briefly date (by which I mean Ashley spends a lot of time crying hysterically), but he rejects her. And she…doesnt take it well:
October 2015. Ashley and Jared hit up a charity event, which is the first time in ~his opinion~ that they start vibing. I wanted you that night, Jared muses, while chatting about the below pic:
📹 Ashley Iaconetti + Jared Haibon’s Wedding Film – Presented by Le Reve Films
Here it is! Our full wedding film! We can’t tell you how much joy it brought us watching this together. It brought back so many …
I was in shock seeing that Jared really care about Ashley so much & I’m happy for them they won each other’s heart & they been thru a lot from the Ups & downs to loving each other again & getting married in paradise this is what true love is all about like you found your perfect match & made a connection I’m happy for Jared & Ashley & they deserve each other
They remind me of this movie “Flipped.” For some reason this girl was obsessed with a boy who never really liked her in that way. When she finally seemingly got over him, that’s when he started to feel for her, which is what I feel like happened here. I can’t really understand their story but if it’s anything like that movie I can try to.
I love Ashley!😃 In my opinion, seeing Ashley, the first impression of her, is this promiscuous girl, who has no shame in it.But she’s not, it’s the total opposite! When Jared was with Caila, Ashley said, “Caila is sexy & can smile & make guys fall for her..but that’s not me, I’m not sexy” and I feel like she really feels that way about herself. She’s beautiful & I’m sure guys do see her as a sexy woman. I feel like she’s very genuine with her feelings & she don’t hide it. I mean, she’s the queen of crying! My favorite Ashley moments, were when she was upset & venting to the bird..& when she prayed to Lucy, for a guy she would be into..Then Wells shows up!! Wells is my fav! As soon as he walked out of the limo on jojos sesson, I thought wow, he’s such a cool guy!😎 Everyone needs a Wells in their lives! Now that Chris Harrison is gone 😥, I would be so happy if Wells took his place!
4:40…Jenna called it right. Things work out the way that you want it to if you pursue it w/o mercy for years. Yes, the stalking crying virgin act wore Jared down to the point when she had to use Kevin to fake that she was really moving on. And the always indecisive Jared was trained to never be w/o his own buzzing bee so he was finally shook into to just caving to a life with this girl b/c no other person entering their world would be safe in their mess. Good on Kevin to give cheating and user Ashley a hug to cover up the awkwardness. But really after the gang was forced to watch and toast the proposal, they knew the real deal when they talked about the couple later after the proposal.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen
This isn’t a romantic happy love story..This is a crazy unhealthy relationship. .Ashley you were crazy obsessed with jared for years, so much that you acted out with terrible and mean behavior towards the women Jared WANTED to date…Both of your are immature and fame hungry. Happy that Kevin is with Astrid, who is as kind and mature as he is.
So I just got done perusal the BIP seasons they were on and all I have to say is wow… Ashley was literally bordering delusional with her obsession for Jared & it was just normalized?? He clearly wasn’t into her for the longest but finally gave in bc she was constantly persistent. Out of all the seasons of the show, I don’t think we’ve ever seen anyone act as desperate as Ashley did during the show. It was getting embarrassing to watch. But kudos to them for ending up together, Ashley finally got what she wanted.
I watched him break her heart on tv and she cried so much, my heart said move on, give up, he does not want you BUT she knew he was the ONE, she hung in there, it took a lot for her to do so I’m sure, and it worked out, beautiful wedding and he truly does love her, she already loved him. So happy for this couple!
I literally just got finished perusal Bachelor in Paradise season 3 and at the end I was like “Jared secretly loves Ashley he just doesn’t know it” and I literally went to find out if they ended up together and seeing this wedding article made me cry, like it made me so happy! I’m so happy for them they make so much sense together.
Craziest love story ever. I remember when A said: “There will never be another youuuuu…..” through tears as J rejected her yet again. I thought Girlllll, desperate is a turn off. Way to push him away, for good….which normally, it would off, but apparently they were meant to be, in spite of all the desperation. Lol She’s a sweet girl. Jarred got lucky! 💥😉♥️
I’ve never seen someone love someone like Ashley loved Jerad. She fought hard for him and cried a million tears through that love. I think when she was giving up and open to love with Kevin,it woke up Jerad as he could lose that Unconditional kind of love she had for him. Don’t ever stop falling in love with each other. Never get bored,or lust and temptation is everywhere. I thought I had this kind of love. He told me daily, I love you more than any husband loves his wife. We were always affectionate. He changed at 35,mid life crisis and he was addicted to the bachelor then clubs. Met a 20 yr old and left. “She makes me feel young”. The grass is green where you water it. Always date and keep the fire burning. I still miss him and our lives together. Love you both.💞
I have watched Jared from the bachelorette and on to the bachelor in paradise. It was so frustrating in the beginning to see that Ashley would just not give up. But, then I realized that this amazing women has goals and she will stop at nothing to get it. Then I thought, does he deserve her? To make a long story short this has been such an incredible ending to amazing people. I met my husband in high school, we never dated, I moved away and came back and I married someone else. We kept coming back to one another for some reason. I had 2 kids and he had 2 kids. We finally put ourselves first and ended up together and getting married and having 2 more kids. It was a crazy life, we had 3 boys and 3 girls. We laughed and joked that we were the updated Brady Bunch family. This year will be our 16 yr wedding anniversary and almost 18th are together. 3 years ago, he was diagnosed with End of Stage Renal Disease. We were 39 yes old. I posted and posted and I’m sure I drove people insane because I was looking for a live kidney donor. I would even have people send me messages and tell me Stop, we get it, we know your husband needs a transplant. I didn’t care and continued to do it no matter what anybody else said or believed. Now after perusal, 1 month ago, our miracle happened. A heavenly angel gave my husband his kidney because my old posts happened to run on their feed and the brother contacted us right away. Less than 48hrs later he had a new kidney. He is doing well. This is proof to show that no matter what anyone else says or does, if YOU believe it’s right then DO IT.
I felt like I was perusal a Nicholas Sparks mini movie. Omg this is so beautiful. From the music to the vows. Perfection. So happy for Ashley cuz she finally got her happily ever after. Now she’s crying tears of joy!! Loved this article. They are so beautiful. They were made for each other. Congrats guys!! Much love and happiness!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
You can’t watch this without tearing up! I really like Ashley’s evening dress and her tied up hair. It’s a simple look and she looks beautiful in it. It looks comfortable to party in. Some women choose dresses that squeeze their waist (can they breathe ok?) or they can barely freely walk or dance in.
I have watched these two from the beginning . A smile that breaks my face happens every time! Never have I witnessed two people who belonged together more! It’s rare for me to leave comments, but in this case I must. I predict a long and very happy life, to your health, Ashley and Jared. You bring hope to the world!
I been perusal Ashley & Jared from day one! I was hurting for her back then incredibly joyful when Jared finally woke up and they got together! Once that happened I knew it was only months away before engagement and I was right! I freak out when they hit engage and this beautiful marriage is definitely RIGHT in gods eyes!!! Congrats to both of you! I know this couple is forever! I have no doubt!
Ashley was very blessed to have won Jared’s heart after so many tears. It doesn’t turn out that way for many who fall in love. It usually ends up being one sided, and the one in love has to live know ing the love of their life will never love them in return. I can tell you that happened to me when I was 21. I am now 70, and I never stopped loving him. I found another love, but the feelings for that first one will be with me forever 💔
When people ask what love is this is love. When you can’t help but know that the person who you are standing in front of is the one. I can’t imagine a better couple to come out of the bachelor universe. Ashley and Jared’s love takes my breath away. When you see this article you can’t help but think about the people that you love in your life. This article made me cry because there love is beautiful but more importantly because it reminded me how much I love my wife. Their love inspires love and I’m so lucky to have someone like that in my life that does the same thing for me
When I watched bachelor in paradise, I was always hoping that Ashly and Jared would be together forever, and seeing how she loved him the first time she saw him shows how special there love is. I was so sad when he couldn’t see what was right in front of him and kept on denying it in the episodes and perusal Ashely crying because of how much she wanted him made me cry, 😥and even though they went through some things I’ve always hoped they would come back to each other and be together, and look were they are now.🤗 I am so happy and proud of them and when I saw this article I knew that my wish came true. I am just so proud and happy for y’all and I wish y’all the best! 🥰Also sorry, I might have missed spelled a lot of words
Finally, cry me a river don’t ya! Just think I voted for Jared to be the next bachelor but I am so happy you both finally came together FINALLY! You have a community of people that have grown to love you both from afar. You are never alone we wrap our arms around you from afar, and keep you in our prayers, God Bless you both.
What a perfect couple. THIS is love. You’re the most genuine couple (alongside Carly and Evan!) to come out of the bachelor nation. Ashley you always stayed true to who you are, knowing your worth. Jared it took you some time but that’s how you know it’s real, that’s how we all know Ashley’s heart is safe with you. Good luck for the future you guys. It’s going to be amazing. You both deserve it ❤️
It really really happens and I know exactly how you, Ashley, feel. It’s like you marry him, you engrave his name, and you accept him at first sight! It’s not lust, it’s the feeling of finding your another half that brings unexplainable peace in heart. I have that too. 5 years strong, 1 beautiful baby boy, and the whole life ahead. Love you guys!
