Is Ashley I. Pregnant? Let's Look At The Evidence

by Nicole Pomarico

On Chris Soules' season of The Bachelor, Ashley Iaconetti was known for being a virgin. At first, I was kind of flabbergasted that it was something the show was actually discussing, but then I realized that this is The Bachelor, and they thrive on that kind of thing, and fortunately, Ashley seemed fine to play along. But, now that she's back on Bachelor in Paradise, the V-word is following her like a lost puppy, thanks to the crafty editing of the show's promos. And, thanks to said promos, only one week in, it's obvious what they're trying to make the big question of the season be: Does Ashley I. lose her virginity and get pregnant on Bachelor in Paradise ? Anything is possible on reality TV, but the pretty obvious answer here is no. And, ABC has not responded to Bustle's request for comment on the promo.

In case you're not convinced that it was just editing, let Ashley, herself, do the convincing for you. In a very recent interview with Glamour, Ashley clarified that editing had a lot to do with the events that are about to transpire on BiP. "Well, I can tell you that I wasn’t the one that said that," she explained about the pregnancy line in the promo. "It sounds like me, but I think my sister said that! I don’t know what I can say about that, but there’s definitely some editing there."

Since she's probably not pregnant, what has she been up to since her Bachelor days? Homegirl's been busy.

Hanging Out With Her Bachelor Nation Friends

Yes, that is Ashley with Jared. No, they do not appear to be expectant parents.

Taking Selfies

Because duh. If I looked like that, I'd take selfies constantly, too.

Doing Gorgeous Photoshoots

And, not for maternity wear, either.

Getting Her Wisdom Teeth Out

OK, that really sucks.

Mocking Herself

People might have mocked Ashley on The Bachelor, but she mocked herself just as much. I'm glad she's kept a good sense of humor about everything!

And, Generally Looking Awesome At Every Opportunity

When I'm eating out at restaurants, I do not look this flawless.

See? Ashley's totally not gearing up for motherhood. I am looking forward to seeing how this whole fabricated plotline unfolds, though.
