Ashley began her post by uploading a photo of Yanni -- the founder of "Foody Fetish," a social-media brand which boasts over three million followers on Instagram, and the co-founder of several restaurants -- snapping a picture of two cocktails at a restaurant.
"One year ago, I went on my first date with this cutie," Ashley wrote on the photo.

She went on to joke, "He took photos of food almost the entire time."
Ashley then posted a photo of Yanni checking a skillet's heat on her stove.
"Then he would come over and cook for me," Ashley revealed.
Ashley proceeded to share a photo of the couple lounging on a beautiful deck in their pajamas, writing, "Since then, we've traveled."
Ashley and Yanni have traveled to romantic destinations such as Mexico and Curacao.

After posting a video of Yanni pointing out the sunset from a balcony, Ashley continued, "[We've also] enjoyed sunsets, danced, laughed, dined, spent time on our phones, traveled, and ate some more."
As Ashley listed the pair's activities over the past year, she posted a video of Yanni dancing in her kitchen as well as a clip of herself playfully stealing one of Yanni's crispy onion rings at a restaurant.

Ashley also included a sweet selfie of the couple in her slideshow as well as a video of Ashley curled up on a daybed looking at her phone, which ended with Yanni sneaking up behind her and scaring her.
Ashley also thanked Yanni for "taking the best pictures," which apparently includes an image of Ashley floating in the ocean in a pink bikini.

Ashley went on to thank her man "for bringing calm, peace and unconditional love to my heart."
Ashley concluded on her Instagram Story, "Can't wait for Year 2 with you," alongside another great picture of the couple posing next to each other and smiling big for the camera.
Yanni is reportedly 37 years old, just like Ashley, and currently resides in Miami, FL, where Ashley also lives, according to Us Weekly.
Ashley, who works in pediatric dentistry, just revealed in late March that her relationship was getting serious and her boyfriend -- whom she never identified herself on social media -- had already met her two children: son Fordham, 7, and daughter Essex, 5.
"I introduced him after about nine months...as one of my friends. Not sure how this happened, but they thought he was their babysitter," Ashley told her followers during an Instagram Q&A session.

She added with crying-laughing emoticons, "They said he was the best babysitter ever. Lol."
Ashley first announced she has a new boyfriend in late October 2021, which was right around the time she finalized her divorce from ex-husband and The Bachelorette winner J.P. Rosenbaum, who is also the father of her kids.
"I spent the first 4-5 months in denial about the relationship," Ashley told a fan during her recent Q&A. "That's prob why it went by so fast. LOL."

J.P., 44, filed for divorce in Miami-Dade County in Florida on July 28, 2021, according to court records obtained by E! News.
J.P. previously told the website there was "no fighting" with Ashley as they proceeded with a divorce and they intended to remain "friendly" in order to co-parent their two children.
"It's 100% Perfectly ok to NOT have all the answers, to NOT know what the future holds, to be afraid, to have anxiety, to feel uneasy about anything and everything," J.P. wrote on Instagram in August 2021 shortly after filing for divorce.
But J.P. told his followers to "embrace the unknown" and "live your life."
When Ashley announced she has a new boyfriend in October, she said J.P. had not met him yet, but the situation has likely changed since then.
After all, Ashley assured her fans around that time that she'd be careful whom she introduces to her children and J.P. would meet a significant man in her life before she'd allow the kids to have a meet and greet.
"I'm pretty sure my kids don't understand what dating is," Ashley noted last year. "If I am serious enough with someone, they will meet JP first, then the kids. But wow, I don't feel ready for that yet!"

While Ashley appears happy and moved on from her marriage, she apparently isn't sure she'd like to walk down the aisle again.
Ashley said last year that "marriage complicates things" and she would "rather just love someone and choose to be with them."
When asked whether she and J.P. were still "friends" in October -- considering the pair had just reunited for Ford's birthday party -- Ashley responded, "Define friends?"
"We communicate as necessary for the well-being of our children! He still never laughs at my jokes," she added.

Ashley also said last summer that she's "all for" J.P. meeting someone new and she'd like for him to find a partner who will make him happy.
"If JP introduces someone to me, that means it's serious. I would be very happy for him. Honestly," Ashley insisted. "If JP is happy that means my kids are around someone that is bright, uplifting, loving, etc etc."
Ashley admitted she and J.P. had broken up in part because they "see the cup differently."
"I lost a huge part of what I loved about myself towards the end of my marriage," Ashley said after announcing the breakup. "I feel like myself again. Don't have an explanation for it tho."
Ashley and J.P. announced in October 2020 they had decided to split up and "separate ways" after nearly eight years of marriage.
"It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that, after months of separation, JP and I have amicably decided to go our separate ways," Ashley captioned a photo of the couple in happier times on Instagram.
"We created the most beautiful children and shared memories that will never be forgotten. Our differences have taken a toll on our relationship and after years of attempting to repair the damage, we've decided that it is in our family's best interest to create new and separate lives for our children."

According to J.P.'s Instagram posting, The Bachelorette couple had already been separated for months prior to their big announcements.
"I have written and rewritten this post dozens of times and each time I feel the same level of disbelief and extreme sadness," J.P. wrote on Instagram in Spring 2021.
"While I realize that this will come as a complete shock to everyone, I can assure you that this is something that has been developing in our relationship for quite a while. It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that after months of separation, Ashley and I have amicably decided to live our lives apart from one another."

In his posting, J.P. also insisted the couple had done "absolutely everything" they could to save their marriage and they've had irreconcilable differences for years.
"Please please please know that there is no one to blame, that there's no event that triggered this decision, that no one is the victim, and that we've done absolutely everything we possibly can to try to salvage this marriage," he wrote.

"I think we've both come to realize that we are just two very different people, with very different personalities and perspectives, who just don't see eye to eye on a lot life fundamentals, those which are the building blocks for a happy and healthy marriage."
The Bachelorette couple's split announcement came two years after Ashley and J.P. had renewed their wedding vows in a beachfront ceremony in Aruba in August 2018.
Ashley originally appeared on Season 15 of The Bachelor starring Brad Womack and then became The Bachelorette's seventh-season star.
Ashley ended up selecting J.P. over her runner-up, Ben Flajnik, at The Bachelorette season's Final Rose Ceremony for Season 7 in Fiji.
J.P. proposed marriage to Ashley in the finale that aired on ABC in Summer 2011, and the couple got married in December 2012 in a ceremony that was also televised.
The Bachelorette couple welcomed Fordham in September 2014 and Essex Reese in November 2016.

In 2017, Ashley and J.P. also appeared on Season 7 of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.
During their Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars appearance, Ashley voiced her frustration with J.P.'s "tunnel vision with work" while J.P. found Ashley's inability to put him first "reprehensible."
In addition, Ashley and J.P. were shown disagreeing on parenting approaches.
