Ashley Iaconetti Due Date Draws Near

Ashley Iaconetti Haibon and her husband, Jared Haibon, are one of Bachelor Nation’s most beloved couples. They met on Bachelor In Paradise in 2015. While she said at the time that she was ‘drawn’ to her future husband, they didn’t start dating until three years later.

They married in a stunning ceremony in Newport, Rhode Island, in 2019. She was open about her struggles to conceive but they finally welcomed their first child in 2022 when son Dawson was born.

In January 2024, the couple announced on social media that they were expecting again. They later revealed that they are having another boy with a late July due date. According to the Haibons, they don’t plan to have more children.

She Worries It Will Be ‘Impossible’ To Love Son

Ashley Iaconetti Haibon has been exceedingly open about her pregnancy journey with both of her children. She recently admitted that her husband hasn’t bonded with the unborn baby yet. The BIP alum took to Instagram ahead of her due date to express her fears that she won’t be able to love both of her sons equally.

As parents to just one right now, it feels impossible to love anything as much as Dawson. Serious question: Does it take a while?

Fans Reassure Her

That type of vulnerability could have resulted in disdain from her social media followers. But instead, they rallied around Ashley and assured her that the fear was completely normal. Check out some of the comments:

  • With your first kid you find out how DEEP you can love & with the second you find out how WIDE you can love. Heard this saying once, and it couldn’t be more true!
  • I did not feel an instant connection with my second baby. And I do think I resented him a little, for taking me away from my first baby.
  • I like to say you love them uniquely not equally. I thought the same thing just how can I love someone else, and your heart just makes room, and then when your two babies meet, your heart almost explodes.
  • I felt EXACTLY the same way. I even told myself that secretly I would still love my first most I just wouldn’t tell anyone. Then my second son was born and it was instant.
  • I worried about the same thing during my second pregnancy and I have to say once they put that baby in my arms, I was locked in.

Jared and Ashley Iaconetti Haibon clearly love their son Dawson. What do you think about her question about loving their second son the same? Share your thoughts in the comments.
