JoJo FletcherandJordan Rodgersare looking back on their wedding day as they celebrate one year of marriage — and the premiere of their new divorce reality dating show!
TheBachelorettealum and her husband, who tied the knot on May 14, 2022 after meeting on the ABC show in 2016, are both in agreement that one of the best memories from their big day was enjoying pizza at the end of the night.
Rodgers, 35, agrees.
“The excitement kind of dies down and you have your small group of friends and family around,” he says of memorable moment at Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez, California. “You take a big sigh and eat some pizza. We’re still dressed up. Kicking our feet up.”

The pair— who are co-hostingUSA’sThe Big D,(June 14) which follows six divorced couples as they meet in Costa Rica for a second chance at love— filmed the series while they were still engaged.
“It’s going to be spicy, as much drama as you would expect in any reality dating show,” Rodgers says of the series. “But the big twist is, it’s going to be six divorced couples that are all looking for new love, all looking for new relationships. The only problem is they’re dating in front of their exes, so they bring them along for the ride.”
Rodgers adds that some of the former couples “are looking to get back together,” while “some need closure before they feel like they can jump back into the dating pool.”

Fletcher adds that there will be plenty “twists and turns” for the singles, noting “they never really know who’s going to show up at the door and surprise them.”
Though the couple guarantees plenty of entertainment for viewers, there will also be “soul-searching, clearing up past issues, and figuring out how they can move forward,” says Fletcher of the reality cast.
“So many different layers to what you could expect in the show, from crazy drama, insane things that will bring you to tears.”
As for co-hosting together, the couple says that they make a good team.
“From early on, we jumped straight into what would be pretty stressful things for couples to do together, and we hosted a couple shows together, but we honestly, somehow, work so well together, and this show, in particular onThe Big D, it was really kind of fun to see how our perspectives were different,” says Fletcher.
“For the most part, I would say we kind of agreed on everything.”

Rodgers recalls having complicated feelings when he was onThe Bachelorette.
“So it was really fun for us to be on the other side of it, to be able to give that advice and be able to go, ‘Hey, I understand those feelings and you questioning things, and here’s what you need to focus on, and here’s how to understand that this can really that this can really be something special despite cameras and your exes and this crazy fun experience that you’re on.'”
Any time Fletcher and Rodgers experience “friction or an argument” in their own marriage, Rodgers says it doesn’t affect their unwavering bond.
“There’s still this security and stability that goes like, ‘We’re working through this. This is forever for us.’ I think it just creates a stronger bond.”
Fletcher adds of their marriage, “It’s just wild. We always look back and we think, ‘I cannot believe we met the way we did. I can’t believe we’ve been together seven years. I can’t believe we’re sitting here.’ — I think we’re in a wonderful place.”
