Ashley Iaconetti is heading into The Real Housewives of Rhode Island with confidence, especially when it comes to her marriage.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Ashley shared that she’s not concerned about the show putting pressure on her relationship with husband Jared Haibon.
“I know that since we’ve been through the spotlight together, that neither of us are going to feel affected by it,” she said.
Ashley explained that being in the public eye is nothing new for them.
“We have been under the spotlight together. This isn’t going to be a new thing.”
In fact, she sees that shared experience as an advantage rather than a risk.
“I just think that’s nice that we’re not gonna have a new thing thrown at our relationship.”
Both Ashley and Jared first rose to fame through Bachelor in Paradise, where their relationship played out publicly — including its ups and downs.
Because of that, Ashley says they already know what to expect.
“We, honestly, know how to navigate it pretty well. It’s our foundation,” she explained. “I would say we, kind of, know how this is gonna go. We know we have our priorities in line, for sure.”
Now living in Rhode Island with their two sons, Ashley says she feels grateful they didn’t have to learn how to handle fame later in life.
“We’re very grateful for having previous experience when jumping into this,” she said.
“I cannot imagine starting to get a spotlight on me in my late 30s.”
“We’re really super grateful we’ve had [a] background in it.”
As RHORI prepares to introduce a new group of Housewives, Ashley is making one thing clear, when it comes to her marriage, she and Jared feel ready for whatever comes with it.
