Everything J.P. Rosenbaum and Ashley Hebert Have Said About Their Post-Divorce Relationship

As J.P. Rosenbaum and Ashley Hebert continue to navigate life post-divorce, the former Bachelorette couple’s relationship appears to be changing. The pair, who met on season 8 of the Bachelor spinoff and wed in 2012, announced their separation in October 2020, finalizing their divorce one year later. “It had been ongoing for longer than, obviously, people knew about,” Rosenbaum said on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast in April 2022 of their split. “The post, the notification to the rest of the world — it was just a formality for us.” Rosenbaum and Hebert share custody of two kids: son Fordham and daughter Essex. “There's always little road bumps, but we've got a pretty good routine, you know, we're amicable and civil,” the former Bachelorette contestant said on the “She’s All Bach” podcast in August 2022. “And when it comes to the kids, we seem to be able to navigate it pretty easily. We're 50/50 split. It’s, like, a two days on, two days off, three days on routine. … Basically, you're alternating weekends and your schedule is never the same. It’s all broken up by soccer games and practices. So the two-two-three never really works out, it's flexible. But overall, it's going fine. I think when you are getting divorced and you've tried to think about what the next few years look like, I think we have the best balance for our kids that we could have hoped for.” [jwplayer 3jvmDv11-zhNYySv2] He added, “I certainly didn't sign up for raising my kids half their childhood, [but] I just always try and find new things to do and open their minds to new experiences." When it comes to dating post-split, Hebert wrote in August 2021 that she would introduce anyone she was seeing to Rosenbaum before they met the kids. When she went public with beau Yanni Georgoulakis that October, however, he ended up meeting Ford and Essex — and not their dad. “I haven’t met him, but I know of him and about him from her. She’s living her life and if she’s happy that’s what matters,” Rosenbaum told Us in April 2022. “Dating in my mid-forties as a divorced father of two is just way different than dating, you know, single in my early thirties. … I know the connection that I’m looking for because I’ve had it. I know what it feels like. And I wanna feel that again. There’s the challenge of, ‘Does she have kids? Does she not have kids? Does she want kids? Do I want more kids?’ There’s that dynamic that you have to work through, but I do know the connection that I’m looking for. I do know the kind of communication that I’m looking for.” Scroll through for more from Rosenbaum and Hebert on their relationship:

“Divorce is hard no matter what. But I can always count on @_jprosenbaum to take the kids out on adventures together filled with fun activities. Thank you! Grateful,” Hebert wrote via Instagram Stories.

“The things that are important to me are being honest and open with the kids. Maintaining stability, love and fun in our lives and being sure that they always see J.P. in a positive light,” the dentist said. “If I’m ever in a situation where I am torn about what to do or say, I ask myself, ‘What is the right thing for the kids?’ I let that guide me. It’s easy to get caught up in our emotions even in an amicable divorce. But let the kids' wellbeing guide our actions.”

When asked via Instagram Stories about the pressure to “out-parent” her former spouse, Hebert wrote: “J.P. takes the kids on really fun adventures, so it inspires me to step up my adventure game. I’m more of a homebody. … I don’t comp with anyone for anything. Competition comes from insecurity, and I am very secure in the parent I am for children.”

“There are times where we have scheduling conflicts where we are able to work it out where I’ll take them for a day that she has them, or she’ll take them for a day that I have them. So it’s pretty seamless,” Rosenbaum told Us. “We will be in each other’s lives forever. We got two amazing children out of it. I wouldn’t change anything, obviously. We’re both in pretty good places.”

After Rosenbaum referred to his relationship with his ex as “stable and civil,” she replied via her own Instagram Q&A. “He did? Lol. Those words sound political to me. I think we are fine. Very focused on the kids. No frills. Lol.”

When another fan called her ex “so sweet,” Hebert wrote: “I’m not saying this to comment on anyones sweetness lol…. But I always find these messages interesting because unless you know someone in person…how do you know that they are sweet? Honestly, most of the people I love from the bachelor/bachelorette are not super beloved on social media. It’s really interesting to me how different people can come across on social media and in person…”

“Amicable? Yes. We're not friends,” Rosenbaum said on the “She’s All Bach” podcast. “We speak to each other about the kids when we need to speak to each other about the kids.”
