What is Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti son's name?
Haibon and Iaconetti said Hayden Cruise's name is a nod to the couple's love for "Star Wars."
"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," Haibon told the magazine.
Their son's middle name also honors their time on "Bachelor in Paradise."
"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,'" Haibon said. "We’ve always loved the passion, determination, and charisma of his characters."
