Surprise: Bachelor in Paradise's Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon Are Engaged
Bachelor Nation flipped out last month when Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon finally revealed they were in a relationship. This was a long time coming: Separately and together, Iaconetti and Haibon have appeared on every iteration of the Bachelor franchise and spent most of their time on Bachelor in Paradise together either flirting or crying. Now they’re finally a couple. They even documented the start of their relationship with a 44-minute video, which is the most Ashley and Jared thing they could’ve done.
And the good news just keeps on coming for them. People magazine is reporting that Iaconetti and Haibon are engaged. Are you surprised? Well, you shouldn’t be. We all knew this was coming—and if Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson can get engaged after a month of dating, Iaconetti and Haibon can do whatever they want. We all can!
According to People, Haibon proposed to Iaconetti Sunday on camera while filming the fifth season of Bachelor in Paradise, which, of course. It’s a full-circle moment considering their relationship started on Bachelor in Paradise. Back then, during the show’s second season, Iaconetti was upset Haibon didn’t reciprocate her feelings for him, leading to a roller coaster of teary-eyed drama. It looks like there are only happy tears in their future now.
Or no tears at all. There’s no crying happening in the photo People shared of Haibon proposing to Iaconetti. She’s just smiling wide with her head tilted back, and Haibon’s acting as though there aren’t 20 cameras and an entire crew watching them. Ahhh, there’s no love like reality TV love.
Check out the photo for yourself, below:
Fans, naturally, are happy for Haibon and Iaconetti’s years-in-the-making engagement:
