J.P. tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively all that matters is that he and Ashley ‘love each other.’
Bachelorette Ashley Hebert initially promised to convert to Judaism so that she could marry her fiance J.P. Rosenbaum, but it looks like that isn’t going to happen now. J.P. tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Ashley probably won’t switch her religion anymore.
“I doubt she is converting,” J.P. told us at Life & Style magazine‘s holiday party presented by EOS and Alizé at STK in NYC on Dec. 13. ”We haven’t even talked about it.”
But J.P. isn’t worried about it. “It’s not important to me,” he admitted. “We love each other.”
J.P. said that “maybe both” a minister and a rabbi will marry him and Ashley when the time comes, or “maybe an interfaith minister.”
“I know that my brother had an interfaith minister, so I know they exist,” he shared.
And they might even let their kids choose their own religion. “I know that she’s open to my religion, I’m open to her religion,” he noted. “If we want to give them the choice, great. We are both so laid back when it comes to life and religion.”

She should stick with her own and religion.
Why does the bachelor show intermix jews and christians anyways.

If JP is ok with Ashley not converting to Judaism, its not a big deal! There are interfaith ministers and people are a bit more tolerant these days. I don’t hear JP’s family making a hissy fit about it either.

They are NOT going to last. You NEED to have discussions about religion BEFORE you walk down the aisle.
I have always dated men from other religions myself, so I know how important it is.
Love is not enough. Differences in religion WILL rear their ugly head one day. You NEED to work out a compromise BEFORE moving in together. Even if religion isn’t important to you, let’s face it, it’s important that your in-laws aren’t constantly fighting with each other. Plus, this stuff really kicks up if/when you have kids. DUH!!!

You cannot base there relationship not working only on religion. I myself is a Muslim and my husband is Christian. We have 2 beautiful kids and have bought them up believing in God as for what religion they are, will be there choice when they grow up. So to base there relationship not working based on religion is not fair.

Ashley was the worst Bachelorette ever. She seemed fine on the Bachelor, but I sincerely hated almost everything about her on the Bachelorette. Whiniest…..girl…..ever.

Well Im Jewish and Im sad to read this.. Judaism is a wonderful religion but if Jews like JP don’t care, and are willing to toss away their religion, culture, and heritage to the waste side, then that is his loss really. His kids will grow up confused
