Numerous reality TV personalities have exchanged their roses for opportunities on Bravo.
Ashley Iaconetti gained recognition on Chris Soules’ season of The Bachelor and later appeared on Bachelor in Paradise and Bachelor Winter Games. She married her BiP love interest, Jared Haibon, in 2019. Almost five years later, the couple is set to join Bravo’s first season of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
In January 2026, Ashley shared with Us Weekly that she felt “like a tiny fish” upon joining RHORI. She remarked, “This experience has certainly been a ton different than The Bachelor. That’s all I can say. It was interesting and I’m excited for it to air.”
Ashley mentioned that she and Jared contemplated “heavily” on making the transition from Bachelor to Bravo.
Ashley recounted, “I’ve just watched, like, here and there in the background whenever my mom would watch old-school New York,” discussing her familiarity with Bravo. “Based on the couple of Jersey episodes I’ve seen, yes, I vibe that. I think Rhode Island is underratedly very Jersey.”
Ashley is not the only Bachelor Nation member to find a new platform on Bravo. Keep reading for more:

Jasmine described the experience as “fun, but still stressful, but it’s juicy, it’s, like, a good fun,” when speaking to Us in November 2025 about The Valley season 3. “It’s like, dumb drama. You’re gonna be like, ‘These people are idiots, but in the best way.’ Like, funny, good TV.”
Salley Carson
Salley Carson was initially set to participate in Clayton Echard‘s 2022 season 26 but withdrew before the first rose ceremony, citing unresolved feelings from a previous engagement. Later, she joined Bachelor in Paradise season 8 but famously did not reach the beach, although her suitcase did.

A show description stated, “After finding love with her husband and Warwick, RI, native, Jared Haibon, on Bachelor in Paradise, Ashley has traded rose ceremonies for real life as a proud mom to two boys. While Jared manages their beloved coffee shop, Ashley has built a thriving career as a social media powerhouse, all while acclimating to her new life in her husband’s home state.”

Ben joined Bravo’s Summer House in 2026 for its 10th season.
His cast bio stated, “Ben Waddell enters the summer house with swagger, six-pack energy and Aussie humor. Originally from the Land Down Under, a brutal breakup and not much luck on The Australian Bachelor has left Ben searching for something else. This summer he’s open to fun, flings and perhaps even a special visitor, as long as they’ve got confidence, spark and a killer smile.”
