Taking over Paradise? Ashley Iaconetti and her husband, Jared Haibon, have obtained the second most quantity of display screen time of everybody on Bachelor in Paradise — and followers will not be blissful about it.
“Bachelor in Paradise fans are pretty frustrated after episode four,” Instagram creator Bachelor Data mentioned in a video posted on Monday, October 10, explaining that she believed Ashley, 34, and Jared, 33, joined the ABC courting present as “a love story [that contestants can] look up to.”
However, it was quickly revealed that the couple would stay in Mexico to “work on their marriage” after welcoming son Dawson in January.
“It seems like [their story line] is going to be a recurring theme of ‘Will this married couple have sex or let life get in the way?’” Bachelor Data continued in her video. “23 percent of the episode went to the Ashley and Jared story line. Producers actually took away a date from the contestants to give it to [them].”
According to the clip, the brand new dad and mom acquired 16 and a half minutes of display screen time in Monday’s episode, greater than any of the opposite contestants or hopeful {couples} on the present. In whole, Ashley and Jared’s story line has gotten the second most quantity of display screen time general on season 8, surpassing a number of different relationships or dramatic exits. As the episode aired, many followers expressed their frustration on the present’s choice to focus a lot on the pair as an alternative of the brand new connections probably forming on the seashores of Mexico.
“I watch Bachelor in Paradise to see new couples not more Ashley and Jared,” @BachelorFantake tweeted on Monday, whereas another Twitter user wrote, “bachelor in paradise i’m BEGGING u to stop making me watch jared and ashley content.” Meanwhile, a third social media user speculated that “the real reason bachelor in paradise is 16 episodes is because of all of Jared and Ashley’s screen time.”
Despite the backlash, Ashley seemingly laughed off the complaints. “Don’t worry, guys, we leave on Monday’s episode,” the Virginia native wrote within the feedback of the Bachelor Data put up.
After assembly on season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2015, the twosome had a tumultuous relationship earlier than they introduced that they had been courting in May 2018. “I never felt like it was over between us after Paradise,” Jared admitted on the time. “I’m not gonna lie and say that I was in love with Ashley during BiP. It was a slow build for me. … I’m living proof that you should listen to your gut, and that it’s not too late. The person I wanted to be with most was right in front of my eyes.”
The Rhode Island native popped the query in June 2018, and followers watched the romantic second on season 5 of the Bachelor spinoff. They tied the knot in Jared’s dwelling state in August 2019, and welcomed their son two and a half years later.
“Dawson entered the world on a very important day in our family. January 31st is not only my mom’s birthday, but also the day my parents met 44 years ago,” Ashley wrote through Instagram on the time. “Right now we’re enjoying the sleepiest, calmest baby we’ve ever met.”
She continued: “He did get his feet from me, his chin from Jared, one of his names from a Leo character, and another one of his names from [Tom Brady]. We love him so much and are feeling so blessed!!”
