Reality stars Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon have added another bundle of joy to their family! In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the couple announced the birth of their second baby together. “Baby is healthy and so is Mama!”
Ashley and Jared welcomed a baby boy, whose sex they revealed in February, on July 22nd. They chose to name their son Hayden Cruise Haibon. Hayden joins the family with the couple’s first son, Dawson. On seeing their first baby become a brother, the couple shared, “Seeing Dawson meet his little brother for the first time was as precious as we always imagined the moment would be. Dawson is full of love and kept petting Hayden.”
On coming up with a name for Hayden, the Bachelor alums shared, “We joked about naming him Anakin as I’m a big Star Wars fan and Ashley fan girl-ed over Hayden Christensen as a teen. That sparked the idea for the name Hayden. It took a while to firmly decide on because of the alliteration with our last name, but ultimately we felt it fit!” They admitted that deciding on another boy name the second time around was challenging, but the middle name came easily. “Finding a boy name we both love was much harder the second time around. We always knew the middle name would be Cruise because we bonded over being Tom Cruise fans while first meeting on Bachelor in Paradise 2. We’ve always loved the passion, determination, and charisma of his characters. We met the man himself last year at the Mission Impossible premiere and his warmth and caring reception for the stories we shared with him further convinced us to use the name.”
When discussing becoming parents of two, the couple gushed, “We’re so lucky to have Hayden and Dawson in our lives. They both have already given us so much more love in our hearts and as parents, we’re so grateful they are both happy and healthy!”
Congratulations to Ashley and Jared on the birth of baby Hayden!
