The TV personality further discussed her experience of the first trimester in her Instagram post:
“I won’t lie though, pregnancy has not been a delight for me. The nausea has been relentless and I throw up multiple times most days. I knew the first trimester wasn’t easy for most, but I didn’t imagine my life to come to a standstill feeling like I have an extreme hangover for 5 weeks and counting.”
Ashley Iaconetti met Jared Haibon on the second season of “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2015. After a whirlwind romance, the duo married in August 2019.

A look into Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti's relationship
Ashley Iaconetti admitted to experiencing ‘love at first sight’ after meeting Jared Haibon in 2015’s “Bachelor in Paradise.” Unfortunately, the latter mostly maintained his distance and did not show much interest in the relationship.

Haibon mentioned that the relationship was a “slow build” for him:
“I never felt like it was over between us after Paradise. I’m not gonna lie and say that I was in love with Ashley during BiP. It was a slow build for me.”
Meanwhile, Iaconetti revealed that Haibon confessed his love for her through a love letter:
“I was scream-crying basically alone in my apartment reading that just sobbing and sobbing.”
In June 2018, Haibon got down on one knee and proposed to Iaconetti on a beach in Mexico. The couple got engaged and even got a dog together the same year.
Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon announced their marriage the following year and tied the knot on August 11th, 2019. The ceremony took place in Rhode Island in the presence of family and close friends.
