There must be something in the water down at Playa Escondida.
This week,Ashley IaconettiandJared Haibonbecame the most recentBachelor in Paradisesuccess story: Three years after they met on season 2, they’re finallyengaged. As fans know, they’re far from the first couple to find love on theBachelorsummer spinoff. In fact, every season of the show has spawned successful relationships — and engagements! — except the first.
On Wednesday, Iaconetti, 30, celebrated the success rate with two adorable photos of her and Haibon, 29, posing alongside fellowParadisecouplesCarly Waddell and Evan Bassand Tanner and Jade Roper Tolbert.
“These two photos were taken 1.5 years apart,” she captioned the slideshow. “In that time, there was a marriage, two babies, and an engagement.”
Jade and Tanner, both 31, met on season 2 in 2015 andgot engagedon the finale. Theytied the knot in a televised weddingin January 2016 andwelcomed their first child, daughter Emerson Avery, the following summer.
Waddell, 32, and Bass, 35, followed suit: After meeting on season 3, they alsogot engagedon the finale. Theytied the knotlast June in the same place they fell in love: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, televising their wedding on season 4, andwelcomed their first childtogether, daughter Isabella Evelyn, this February.
Though Iaconetti and Haibon met at the same time as Jade and Tanner, their love story was a little different. As viewers are well aware, it was pretty much love at first sight for Iaconetti. But while they went on dates (even an overnight one!), Haibon wasn’t quite as enamored. Iaconetti was unlucky in love once again when the tworeturned for season 3the following summer, but nevertheless, they remained friends even after things didn’t work out romantically.
“There’s just this undeniable, magnetic force between the two of us that just is indescribable,” Haibon recently told PEOPLE. “Love conquered.”
