Ashley Iaconetti Remembers Her Infamous 2-on-1 Breakup with Chris Soules on ‘The Bachelor’
Walking down memory lane…
Bachelor Nation first met Ashley Iaconetti Haibon on Season 19 of “The Bachelor” as she looked for love with Chris Soules.
While Ashley didn’t find love with Chris, she did find love and got engaged to Jared Haibon on Season 5 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
The Bachelor Nation star has been walking down memory lane recently, reflecting on her time on the Bachelor Nation shows, and she recently remembered an iconic moment during her experience on “The Bachelor.”
Ashley took to Instagram to reflect on the infamous two-on-one date in South Dakota where Chris broke up with both Ashley and fellow cast member Kelsey Poe.
Ashley posted a clip online of the awkward moment between her and Kelsey that occurred during that date, which fans remember to this day.
It shows Ashley drinking a glass of wine and avoiding eye contact with Kelsey until Kelsey tells Ashley, “I know what you did.”
Reflecting on that time, Ashley jokingly wrote on the clip, “One time I was on a date with a guy and there was another girl with us and he dumped us both in the Badlands and took off in a helicopter. ✌️”
Ashley then shared an update on where her relationship with Chris stands today.
In her caption she shared, “Somehow I stayed friends with him after that. 😜 Ten years ago today I had a very sad four hour drive back to a hotel in South Dakota after a two-on-one date to remember.”
Fans loved the post and the video received almost 2 million views with thousands of likes.
People filled the comments with their memories of watching this moment on TV and seeing Ashley on this season.
One fan wrote, “This was literally the best moment of the season. But also look where you’re at now! Was worth it for sure,” to which Ashley replied, “TOTALLY!!”
Another fan added, “I remember watching this season... you were my favorite! You reminded me of Princess Jasmine,” and Ashley responded, “Aww thank you! Best compliment.”
And one follower said, “I honestly think about this about once a month since it happened 😂”
We love being able to watch Ashley’s journey unfold over the years and see where she is now. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
