Ashley & Jared Have One Last California Dinner with Jade & Tanner Before Rhode Island Move
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
A bittersweet goodbye! Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon had one last double date in Southern California with fellow Bachelor Nation couple Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert before their move to Rhode Island.
Ashley headed over to Instagram on Sunday to share a selfie from their dinner, which took place outdoors in Orange County. In the photo, Ashley, Jared, Jade, and Tanner flash wide grins even though each pair will soon reside on opposite sides of the country.
“Our last Janner & Jashley dinner as all California residents,” Ashley wrote, referencing the duos’ self-appointed portmanteaus. “We’re gonna miss them being just an hour drive away sooo much!”
The same night, the foursome celebrated Ashley’s birthday a day late. (The TV personality turned 33 on March 6.) Jared shared video footage of Ashley blowing out candles on a birthday cupcake presented to her by Jade, Tanner, and their adorable 3-year-old daughter, Emmy.
Ashley and Jared’s visit with Jade and Tanner’s family comes just weeks after they babysat Emmy — and surprised the toddler by dressing as her favorite Disney characters, Jasmine and Aladdin.
Hopefully, Jade and Tanner — who also share sons Brooks, 19 months, and Reed, 3 months — will be able to make a trip out to the East Coast once Ashley and Jared are settled into their new home. The latter couple are currently in the process of building a house in Jared’s home state.
During a February appearance on the “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” podcast, Jared told co-hosts Tayshia Adams, Joe Amabile, and Natasha Parker that he plans to open a restaurant in his native New England.
“To own and operate my own restaurant or bar in Rhode Island would be certainly somewhat of a dream come true,” said Jared, who has lived in Los Angeles with Ashley for years after meeting and falling in love across multiple seasons of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Jared would also like his establishment to be “a place you could come during the day, open up a laptop, and grab a coffee,” he said. “That would be my ideal place.”
Sounds like the perfect location for another Janner and Jashley double date!
