The day has arrived! Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon of the Bachelor in Paradise are FINALLY together! The couple recently posted a picture together on Instagram, looking hella cute and captioning the image with “I love my boyfriend.”

In under a day the photo received over 300,000 likes and endless comments of support from everyone, including Ashley’s ex from the Winter Games, Kevin Wendt.

If you haven't seen their love story (in their own words), fall in love with it here! Seriously, watch the whole thing. 44 minutes of pure gold.

It’s been a looong time coming. Through many seasons of Paradise and the ups and downs of their relationship- Ashley I. broke out of the friend zone.

Jared and Ashley have been friends for over 3 years. First meeting each other in Bachelor in Paradise in 2015, Ashley was head over heels infatuated with Jared, while Jared saw her as a friend.

Although Ashley made her feelings pretty clear, Jared never wanted to rush things. They became fast friends and got to know each other outside of Paradise over the years.

Jared sent Ashley two-dozen roses to her apartment, simply because no guy had ever done that for her before, even though they weren’t dating. He wrote her letters and saw her for her- outside of the show.

Ashley watched the original 1978 Superman (one of Jared’s favorite movies) and always gave him a place to stay in LA. They were each other’s best friends long before they were a couple.

Jared even talked about how much he valued their relationship- so much so that he would rather just have her as a friend, then ruin it with a romantic relationship.

But that wasn't fair to Ashley or their relationship. Ashley's never been afraid to tell people how she feels or been afraid to wait for something she wants. And it was time for Jared to do the same.

As an avid Bachelor fan, I don’t necessarily believe in the seriousness of the show and how much true love can come from it. Very few couples actually ever stay together, much less get married.

However, the most successful part of Bachelor nation has been BIP. From Jade and Tanner to Carly and Evan, there have been some epic relationships that help prove that not all hope is lost when it comes to love.

And after watching the most recent YouTube video of Ashley I. and Jared telling their love story, it kinda made me believe in love a little bit more.

Maybe romance isn't dead. Maybe there are still guys out there who will send you a dozen roses for no reason. Maybe there is such a thing as true love.

Ashley I. and Jared’s relationship has been a rocky one, but I am so glad they have chosen to share it with us (Plus, if there's an open seat at the wedding, holla at your girl- I promise I won't be too disruptive).
