Ashley Iaconetti Reveals She Never Watched ‘Real Housewives’ Before Join ‘RHORI’
A new experience!
As Bachelor Nation fans know, Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti Haibon first met on Season 2 of “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2015.
The two later got engaged on Season 5 of “Bachelor in Paradise” and tied the knot in August 2019. Since then, they’ve welcomed son Dawson into their lives in 2022 and their second son, Hayden, last year.
Recently, Bachelor Nation fans speculated that Ashley might be a future Real Housewife of Rhode Island after footage of the two of them being filmed by a film crew leaked online.
And earlier this week, Ashley officially confirmed that she will be a part of the show’s cast.
Now, Ashley has taken to her Instagram Story to answer some fan questions and shared surprising information about being on “RHORI.”
While answering a question about her experience on the show, the reality TV star revealed that she has never watched “Real Housewives” before.
She said, “I *think* I’m glad I went in pretty blind. I used to think people who went on ‘The Bachelor’ without watching it first were oddballs, now here we are.”
Ashley went on and shared that she has seen it passively before with her mom back in the day.
She shared, “I used to watch it in the background when my mom would watch OG RHONY.”
We are so excited for Ashley and we can’t wait to see her on our screens again. We’re wishing her all the best in this new chapter!
