Ashley Iaconetti doesn’t believe we’ve seen the last of Taylor Frankie Paul’s journey on The Bachelorette.
“I think that as the court decides that she’s more and more able to be with her child full time, it’s likely we could probably see the series,” Ashley, 38, predicted exclusively to Us Weekly while partnering up with Honey Nut Cheerios and the Honey Nuts For You blind-box ring collection.
For the uninitiated, Ashley isn’t just your average Bachelor Nation member.
After first becoming a contestant on The Bachelor with Chris Soules in 2015, Ashley went on to compete on The Bachelor Winter Games and Bachelor in Paradise.
While she didn’t find love via the franchise while cameras were rolling, Ashley — who cohosts iHeartRadio’s “Almost Famous” podcast — turned her friendship with fellow Bachelor Nation member Jared Haibon into something more in 2018. The pair are now married and share two sons.
Back in March, ABC announced just days before the scheduled premiere that Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette would not be airing amid allegations of her involvement in a domestic violence dispute with ex Dakota Mortensen.
“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson told Us on March 19.

As Taylor, 32, continues to face legal victories in her custody case with Dakota, 33, some reports have surfaced that ABC may air the axed season on another platform, like the streaming service Hulu. At the time of publication, however, ABC has not confirmed any plans for the controversial season.
As a fan of the franchise, Ashley is looking forward to watching Taylor’s journey. Until then, she has her hands full raising two boys.
In the mornings, you can likely find The Real Housewives of Rhode Island star preparing her children’s breakfast, which includes Honey Nut Cheerios. Now, her sons have the opportunity to taste Cheerios Protein cereal, now available in Honey Nut flavor.
The future of one of ABC’s hit reality TV shows is up in the air after the network decided to cancel Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette amid domestic violence allegations. A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that the network does not currently have plans to bring in another Bachelorette as a replacement for […]
“It is the perfect partnership for me because it is everywhere in my house. Honey Nut Cheerios specifically is, like, the cereal that my kids just have in the crevices of all the couches,” Ashley explained. “It’s a snack that the kids love, that Jared will come home from Audrey’s [Coffee House] at midnight after an after party or after trivia, and that’s his snack on the couch.”
Just in time for summer, Cheerios is also releasing a limited-edition “Honey Nuts For You” ring collection, featuring four iconic designs, including the covetable 8K gold-plated collectible.
The Honey Nuts For You blind-box collection will now drop on June 23 at 1pm ET, with a second drop on June 30 at 1pm ET at HoneyNutsForYou.com.
