The switch from friendship to romance

Things took a turn when Jared starred in Ashley’s Web series called The Story of Us. In this show, they talked about a shocking development in their friendship. Both were actually dating now. Jared revealed:

“We did develop a friendship on the show even though it was this weird one where she had romantic feelings for me and I had more friendship feelings, but there was this rapport and chemistry that we had where we loved hanging out with each other,”

He continued:

“I saw her at this charity event in Virginia a couple months after Paradise and seeing her in her element, planning this event and really just working it the entire weekend, I knew that there could be something more between us.”

Ashley added:

“In Paradise, I was just so nervous. I didn’t think anything could actually come of it probably like I wanted it to.”

The forthcoming wedding of Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon

The couple progressed so much in their relationship that they are considering and planning their wedding now. They have their own iHeart Radio. They also are in the digital series What Now?
Jared said that they, unlike the other Bachelor couples, first had friendship and then love. He said:

“I think we’re different than any other Bachelor couple in that we had developed this strong friendship over the years before becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, where a lot of other couples that come from the franchise they become boyfriend/girlfriend and then fiancées very quickly after that,”

Jared went on to say:

“Ashley and I got to see each other outside, in our lifestyles and how one another would fit in that—friends groups, careers, places we want to live, things of that nature. We got to cultivate that friendship before we started dating.”

They are thinking that the second season of the show might air their wedding. They are planning it and also making the guest list. But Jared admitted:

“For me personally, the most stressful [part about planning] has been the guest list. It sucks,”
