Key Takeaways

  • Chantel Everett married musician Ashley Bowen in an elaborate Oct. 17 ceremony at Fountainview Mansion in Auburn, Alabama, with 60 guests.
  • The couple celebrated their love openly with handwritten vows, custom white outfits, a rainbow-layered cake, and a helicopter trip to Atlanta before their Cancun honeymoon.
  • Everett found love with Bowen after her 2022 split from Pedro Jimeno, who announced his engagement to Valentina Malagon in June 2026.

90 Day Fiancé star Chantel Everett is officially married again, and this time, her love story looks nothing like the one that made her a TLC fixture. The reality star married musician Ashley Bowen on Saturday, Oct. 17, in an elaborate Alabama ceremony, more than four years after her explosive split from Pedro Jimeno. And in another development, Jimeno is preparing for a wedding of his own.

According to People, Everett and Bowen exchanged vows at Fountainview Mansion in Auburn, Alabama, surrounded by 60 guests. The ceremony featured white rose petals, lush greenery, and candlelight, with Everett wearing a custom embellished TTON Couture gown and Bowen sporting a jeweled white suit with sparkling sneakers.

“As two women, there is something deeply meaningful about celebrating our love openly and proudly,” Everett told People. “Our wedding is a celebration, but our marriage is the everyday commitment to growing together, creating a home, and being each other’s family.”

The couple exchanged handwritten vows privately before an outdoor ceremony officiated by Rev. Rickisa Owens, a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Their reception included a first dance to “She's My Handsome” by 76th Street and a three-tiered wedding cake featuring rainbow-colored layers.

Following the festivities, the newlyweds traveled by helicopter to The St. Regis Atlanta before heading to Cancun for their honeymoon.

The marriage marks another major development in Everett's personal life, which has played out publicly since she appeared alongside Jimeno during Season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé.

Their televised story began when Jimeno relocated from the Dominican Republic on a K-1 visa and eventually became the centerpiece of The Family Chantel. But after nearly six years of marriage, Jimeno filed for divorce in May 2022, ending a relationship marked by family disputes and accusations of infidelity.

Everett's newly single status even attracted some unexpected celebrity attention—or at least rumors of it.

In 2022, reports surfaced claiming Drake had been sliding into Everett's Instagram DMs following her separation. The speculation resurfaced during a November 2023 episode of The Family Chantel, when Everett mentioned receiving attention from famous athletes, actors, and a certain Canadian rapper.

Jimeno also addressed the gossip, telling producers, “Go with Drake, the famous rapper, you know? Go with him.” Neither Everett nor Drake publicly confirmed a romance.

Instead, Everett eventually found love with someone already in her life.

She met Bowen through her brother River, and their friendship turned romantic after Bowen confessed her feelings and kissed her. During 90 Day: Hunt for Love, Everett discussed the experience and her evolving understanding of her sexuality.

“I almost fainted, I was so shocked, and I really liked it,” she recalled.
