A 'Bachelor' Alum Joins 'Real Housewives' In A Historic First
"That's right: Bachelor Nation's Ashley Iaconetti is among the cast for the latest Bravo show, which is set to premiere in 2026 (coinciding with the franchise's 20th anniversary). As Bravo puts it, "They may live in the smallest state in the country, but their drama? Extra large." Ashley is joined by Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson, and Jo-Ellen Tiberi - with Dolores Catania appearing on the show as a friend."
"The first trailer for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, or RHORI, was released during BravoCon on Nov. 16. "People here... they don't look down on other states, but they are weirded out that other states exist," Ashley says. As stated in the trailer, she's speaking from an outside perspective. Rhode Island is the home state of her husband, Jared Haibon, and the pair moved there in 2021, six years after meeting on the beach of Bachelor in Paradise Season 2."
"Of course, theirs wasn't the smoothest of romances. In fact, during her time in Paradise, Ashley spent a lot of time crying: a trait that's referenced in the RHORI trailer, where a castmate remarks, "She's gonna cry again." While fans will have to wait to see what has Ashley crying on RHORI, her ups and downs in Bachelor Nation did ultimately lead to a happy place."
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI) is scheduled to premiere in 2026 as part of the franchise's 20th anniversary. Ashley Iaconetti, known from Bachelor Nation, is a principal cast member alongside Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson and Jo-Ellen Tiberi, with Dolores Catania appearing as a friend. The first trailer debuted at BravoCon on Nov. 16 and features Ashley commenting on Rhode Island culture. Ashley and husband Jared Haibon moved to Rhode Island in 2021 after meeting on Bachelor in Paradise; they share two sons and run Audrey's Coffee House & Lounge.
