Ashley and Jared just announced the birth of their second child.
“Say hello to Hayden Cruise Haibon. He was born at 2:29 p.m. on July 22, 2024, and weighed 8 lbs., 7 oz. at INOVA Fairfax Hospital,” the couple told People.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(753x203:755x205)/Jared-Haibon-Ashley-Iaconetti-baby-072324-tout-e7e406ef0fa242a5a430dba00eee6ff4.jpg)
“Baby is healthy and so is Mama! 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,” they added.
The couple named their newborn son after Hayden Christensen and Tom Cruise!
“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,” Jared said. “It took a while to firmly decide on because of the alliteration with our last name, but ultimately we felt it fit!”
They added, “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. 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!”
Congrats to the happy family!
