Warning: The following article contains mild spoilers for Bachelor in Paradise Season 3. Read at your own risk!
Do platonic friends usually go on exotic Caribbean getaways together? What about with another couple?
We didn’t think so, but Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon seem to be breaking tradition. The Bachelor in Paradise pair were spotted at Sugar Beach Resort in St. Lucia over the weekend, enjoying a (dare we say romantic?) getaway with Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert!
OK, so not totally romantic considering it wasn’t just the married BiP 2 couple with them — Ashley’s sister Lauren Iaconetti joined along. In fact, it seemed more like a group of friends than anything — even when they all took a mudbath together.
Of course, Jade and Tanner got some alone time in, cuddling in the pool.
And the canoodling continued with KardAshley and Jared on the couch, though it looked more like a pals sleepover than a romance.
Further proving the less-than-sexy nature of the trip was the hilarious makeup tutorial the ladies did with Jared and Tanner.
Looking good, boys!
Hey, who needs romance when you’ve got friends like these?
This definitely seems to align with those reports Ashley and Jared decided to ultimately remain buddies on the upcoming third season of Paradise.
That doesn’t mean they don’t have their own love stories come August, though. Just sayin’.
Bachelor in Paradise premieres Tuesday, August 2 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
