Bachelor alum Ashley Iaconetti welcomed her second child last week with her husband, Jared Haibon. She expressed concern about having enough love to give both of her children. However, that fear quickly faded as soon as she met her newborn son. Watch their other son, Dawson, 2, meet his little brother.

Bachelor Nation Has Mixed Thoughts On Baby Name Choice

Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon married in 2019, four years after first meeting on Season 2 of Bachelor In Paradise. They welcomed their first child in 2022 after fertility struggles. The couple named their son Dawson for a surprising reason. As they mentioned on social media, the name is a tribute to Jack Dawson, the character Leonardo DiCaprio played in the blockbuster movie Titanic.

The Bachelor Nation stars announced in January that they were expecting their second child this summer. Hayden Cruise Haibon was born on July 22nd, 2024.

The baby’s name has an interesting celebrity component again. Hayden comes from actor Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker in two Star Wars prequels in the early 2000s. The newborn’s middle name is in honor of movie star Tom Cruise.

Fans of the franchise took to Reddit after the baby announcement to weigh in on the unusual name choice:

  • Seeing how they named their kids after their celebrity crushes 🤣: Ashley and Jared are really made for each other
  • I sincerely thought their first kid was already named Hayden
  • What happened to going with Dominic? I liked that. Hayden Haibon is a mouthful
  • I know it’s kind of a mouth full but Hayden Cruise is a cute name!!!
  • I like the name Hayden
  • Hayden Haibon is more than alliteration. They sound almost the same.
  • Naming him after Tom Cruise is a…choice

Be sure to let us know in the comments if you think Hayden Haibon is too much. But first, watch the adorable moment Dawson finally met his younger brother.
