"I'm just going to tell him how it is and how it went down," Ashley said to Distractify. "He'll see it and he'll watch some episodes. There will be some episodes that we won't show, because there's no need to revisit those."
The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast host said that her son will find out about his parents' time on TV sooner rather than later.

"I'm excited to show him what happened and to talk to him about the lessons that we learned in our relationship and in our lives. Because I do think that what Ashley and I went through is far more common, and I want to let him know that there will be ups and downs, whoever he is with.

For a long time, I had this idea of who I think I should have ended up with — with personality qualities and characteristics. Ashley's the complete opposite of that. I'm so lucky that I became open to the idea of dating someone like Ashley because then I realized that this is the person that I should be with, not who I'd made up in my head."Article continues below advertisement
While becoming a parent is a major life change, Ashley and Jared are still their same hilarious selves.

In fact, in preparation for labor and the first few weeks of parenthood, Ashley actually stayed with her parents in Virginia. And while parenthood is a whole new challenge for the Bachelor Nation couple, it’s comforting to know that they’ll never truly leave Paradise.
