Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon are one of the biggest couples to come out of Bachelor Nation. The two had one of the wildest relationships over the years, but finally came together and tied the knot in 2019. The couple now have a child together.
To get some alone time, Ashley and Jared were invited to this season of “Bachelor in Paradise,” which received some backlash from fans — especially since they got the second most screen time of anyone on Tuesday night’s episode.
Now, the couple is speaking out.

Ashley talked about the backlash from Bachelor Nation while on her “The Ben & Ashley I Almost Famous” podcast, with co-host Jared Haibon.
Fans of the show claimed the pair were “boring” after they received the second most amount of screen time in the latest episode.
“Bachelor Nation wants more of us … no,” Ashley said on air. “We got a lot of response — or we didn’t get a lot of response but a lot of you out there don’t want to see a married couple on the beach.”
Jared also spoke about the backlash they received, saying it made him sad.
“I think we thought when we both went down to Heaven that we were just going to go down and we were going to be one of those ex-couples that always went down and we were there for a while, we weren’t going to get a lot of screen time, it was more about us and then we had a chance to hang out and go on dates. Even when we were still there, I think you and I were both under the impression that we weren’t going to be shown that much.”
He continued, “Be honest with us and yourself, you don’t watch the show for love. Which is really good, you watch it for the drama. As long as you can admit that, then it’s fine.”
Ashley added, “We’re leaving on Monday! OK, everyone happy? It’s gone!”

Jared went on to explain that despite the backlash, going to “Bachelor In Paradise” created so many memories for him, and brought so much happiness. “For me, looking back on that date means a lot and it gives me a lot of happiness because I remember having that conversation with Ashley and how great it was to be able to say some things that, frankly, were hard to say because they were awkward,” he explained. “In that environment, they’re not awkward because you have to talk about them.”
Ashley added, “The fan reaction won’t take away from that moment for us.”
