"[That's] like over six months down the road," Ashley said. "I'm like, 'Oh, this is my last time to not live with a boy for the rest of my life.' So, like, I'm going to need a couple of mental months to prepare myself for that."
Meanwhile, Jared gushed to Us, "One of my favorite parts is that we've known each other for so long, and we're so comfortable with each other. And yet, for me, I have this puppy love toward her that's amazing."
