Maybe this is another story where one of the parties goes back to the ex, because he realizes what he had, and I don't mean Kevin.

I thought about this as well. Up to this point Jared, always had Ashley in the group with no boyfriend hanging around, easy peasy, but all of a sudden she's hanging around with someone else?????

Sad for them however 3 months IMO is long enough to get a sense of where a relationship is going.  Since it was a show-related romance, better to make an announcement quickly to cut off speculation.
From the link @Aria, does it sound like Kevin will also be on the Almost Famous Podcast? If so, that would great for both of them. They had never exchanged ILYs so this appears to be a case of dating and realistically dating is just getting to know each other. It would be good for their younger fans to hear that break ups are just part of life. Am hoping they have an insightful conversation if they are both on the podcast.

I’m on the fence about whether Jared is a factor. It’s a wait to see for me.

Oh goodie, now she’s free to show up on BIP.

NOooo!

I actually don't think Jared was a factor. I do wonder if the DM-ing allegations from Nick's girls and RS played a role. Even if they weren't true, I can imagine the rumors themselves creating trust issues.

I do get the feeling Kevin will do BIP. I think Ashley knows it's too embarrasing and she can't do 5th show (especially when she left as a "winner"), but I can see Kevin doing it. IMO.

     Awwww, he's better than that!!

Not surprising, there were some weird likes from Ashley the last couple of days.

Awww this was nice while it lasted. Glad to hear that there are no hard feelings and glad they’re addressing it on the podcast. Theirs seemed to be more of a realistic rl dating situation vs. the other WG couples who all jumped all in & all exchanged ILY’s.

I actually would not mind Kevin on BIP at all ... maybe he and Tia can get together
They follow each other on IG - she’s the only non-WG girl from Arie’s season that he’s following other than Becca K (and I believe Becca was a more recent follow).

What can I say, I just ship love no matter who it’s with

Well, at least one good thing came of this. 
Ashley is no longer a virgin. 
The end.

Big shocker, NOT!!! Seriously, though, at least Ashley finally got some real dating experience under her belt and possibly learned something from the relationship. Maybe now she'll stop putting dudes on pedastals and treat them like real people. Here's hoping that she'll stay away from Jared and find someone else in the real world who'll treat her with respect. I'm also hoping that she'll stop clinging to Bachelor Nation and move on with her life. But I might be asking for the impossible though.

I have been saying this forever!!! Ashley finally made him sit up and take notice. 

BIP round two....Ashley and Jared finally start dating and realise it was right there in front of them all along.

Next year...BIP wedding.  Just kidding, except...not really!
