A new star has joined Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon’s family galaxy, and it pays homage to the much-loved Star Wars world!
On Monday, July 22, the couple from Bachelor in Paradise joyfully welcomed their second baby. The next day, they told PEOPLE about their baby son, naming him Hayden Cruise Haibon. The baby, who weighed a healthy 8 pounds, 7 ounces when born in the afternoon, has already caused quite a stir.
The Baby is Named in Honor of Hayden Christensen
Jared Haibon gushed, “Baby is healthy and so is Mama!” in an emotional statement. The moment Dawson saw his younger brother for the first time was just as special as we had always thought it would be. Dawson continued to pet Hayden and was brimming with love.
Regarding the name selection, it’s obvious that the couple’s passion for Star Wars was a big factor. “We joked about naming him Anakin because Ashley fan-girled over Hayden Christensen as a teen and I’m a huge Star Wars fan,” Haibon said. That gave rise to the concept of the name Hayden.
Because of the alliteration with our last name, it took some time to decide, but in the end, we felt it fit!
Even more excitement has been generated by the middle name, Cruise. The couple’s admirers will remember their earlier interviews with Us Weekly, in which they acknowledged their fascination with well-known Toms.
Haibon had joked, “We have to figure out if it’s a boy or a girl; we don’t know what to call them.” It will also be difficult not to pick Tom if it is a boy. Iaconetti retorted, “It’s not Tom! I’m not saying it will be Tom!”
The Name of Ashley’s Baby Honors Tom Cruise as Well
Haibon went into further detail about the significance of the name Cruise, emphasizing its association with powerful people such as Rob Thomas, Tom Brady, and Tom Cruise. “Tom had such a profound influence on our lives. Simply the name Tom,” he uttered.
“We’ve already established that we’re going to name a golden retriever Tom one day,” Iaconetti continued with a laugh. Therefore, I’m not sure where this is coming from.
Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti met on Bachelor in Paradise in 2015. After their on-screen romance blossomed, they got engaged in 2018. August 2019 saw the couple’s beautiful ceremony and marriage, which marked a happy turning point in their relationship.
In January 2021, their first son, Dawson, was born, beginning a new chapter in their love tale.
Now that Hayden Cruise has arrived, the family is overjoyed to have another member join their group. The couple is enjoying their expanding family, and it’s obvious that their fun, fandom-filled romance is reflected in the name they chose for their second kid, which is Star Wars themed.
The trip that Ashley and Jared have taken together demonstrates that their love story is inscribed in the stars, much as Hayden’s name honors a galaxy far, far away.
