“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.
“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.”
Iaconetti, 36, and Haibon, 35, started dating in 2018 after appearing on “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” respectively, with the former also taking part in “Bachelor Winter Games.”
Additionally, she appeared in two seasons of “Paradise,” frequently sobbing over her massive — and unrequited — crush on her future husband in one of them.
Once their longtime friendship took a romantic turn offscreen, the couple moved quickly and got engaged only weeks after going public.
They walked down the aisle in August 2019.
Iaconetti revealed her first pregnancy in July 2021, welcoming son Dawson, now 2, in January of the following year.
By November 2023, she and Haibon were ready to give their baby boy a sibling and told their Instagram followers that they were “trying” to conceive.
Iaconetti debuted her bump in January.
“I’m pregnant,” the former reality star gushed on Amazon Live at the time. “I’m 13 weeks today.”
They shared the sex of their upcoming arrival in February.
Iaconetti admitted to viewers at the time that she was concerned about “clingy” Dawson being “jealous” of his sibling.
Haibon, however, had high hopes about welcoming a second son, gushing that it’s “gonna be a lot of fun.”
He explained, “I’m very excited for the times where Dawson has a Little League game at 9, and then the other one has a game at 11, and we gotta get Dawson to karate while the other one has baseball.”
