It’s official! Bachelor Nation alum Ashley Iaconetti is a real housewife! Or, to be exact, Ashley is joining “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” along with her husband, Jared Haibon.
On Sunday, November 16, during BravoCon 2025, Andy Cohen gave fans the first look at the newest show in the “Real Housewives” franchise which will premiere in 2026.
As for Ashley, she took to Instagram to share the oh-so-enticing glimpse at the show, while taking to the caption of her post to write, “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
Ashley’s Fans Are Super Excited for ‘RHORI’
It seems like casting Ashley for “RHORI” was a good idea because fans are already excited to see her on the show. In fact, some will be watching just because of her!
In the comments of Ashley’s Instagram post, fellow Bachelor Nation alum Ben Higgins wrote, “Watching you on tv is one of life’s greatest gifts! Pumped for you and pumped for the show!”
“I CANNOT WAIT TO HAVE YOU BACK ON MY SCREEN👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻,” came from another follower.
A third person wrote, “SCREAMING!!! OG Ashley I fan… and this arc for you 👏👏👏👏👏”
“Never have watched a Bravo show. Will def be watching. How fun to have you on tv again!! Congrats!! 🙌🙌🙌,” came from someone else.
Another fan left a comment, saying, “What?!? I have never watched these real housewives show but I’ve heard about them and have caught a glimpse here and there. I definitely want to watch though now that you’ll be on!!!!”
Yet another person wrote, “Knowing you’re officially a part of the cast makes me 10x more excited for this!!”
Find Out Who Else Will Be On ‘RHORI’
So, who will be joining Ashley on “RHORI”? Well, there will be Alicia Carmody and Rosie DiMare, as well as Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson and Jo-Ellen Tiberi. While they may not be names you recognize now, they’ll surely be popular (or villainous) figures in the future.
On top of that, Dolores Catania, from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and the winner of “The Traitors” Season 3, will also be dropping by for the action.
During BravoCon, Andy Cohen told Deadline, “It’s interesting that it’s one of the smallest states and it kind of feels like this insular community where everybody knows each other [and] you can’t get away with anything. It is the perfect spot for a Housewives. Plus it’s also so beautiful, it’s aspirational. It’s the Ocean state — it’s teeny. And the women are outrageously fun and great for TV.”
Great! Does that mean Delores isn’t on New Jersey?
