Bachelor in Paradise stars Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon have had a baby

Bachelor in Paradise stars Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon have had a baby.

The happy couple, who tied the knot in 2019, have now welcomed their newborn son.

The reality TV stars shared their news on Jared's Instagram account where they shared an update on their new arrival.

Jared, who featured in the video, told fans: "Mama Ashley is doing well, she is healthy. Everybody is doing well, the labour went well.

"Dawson is doing well, we just wanted to give you an update.

"Thank you everyone who has been asking, We haven't slept yet, so we are going to eat and we are going to sleep and very excited for you guys to see Dawson."

He ended the video with a thumbs up after falling over his words a little, likely caused by sleep deprivation.

"Baby Dawson is here and healthy! Ashley is recovering and doing well! It really couldn’t have gone much smoother. He’s so sweet & beautiful and has been sleeping all day. Unlike his Mom and Dad who are on no sleep right now but it’s totally worth it!"

The new parents met in 2015 on season two of Bachelor in Paradise.

They announced their pregnancy on Instagram with excited fans in July 2021.

Jared said: “Now that you know Ashley is pregnant, I can start posting all the fantastic photos I’ve taken of Ashley over the past month while she’s been sick."

"Even though it’s been a rough first trimester so far, she is as beautiful today as she was in this picture."

"Last night, she threw up five times throughout the night. It’s been a very sick month for her," adding, "I feel terrible because there’s not much I can do except the occasional runs to the store for chocolate cake or to 7/11 for Slurpees."

"I love her very much, she’s a strong woman and I know Ashley is going to be an incredible mother.”

Shortly after their announcement they treated fans to a gender reveal where Jared shared a photo of Ashely holding a huge blue balloon.

Jared joked: "He's going to have so many Tom Brady jerseys", noting his favourite football player.

Ashley suffered from bad morning sickness and told Us Weekly that she was "very sick" with it.

"I mean, really sick," she added and said that she hadn't "done anything but sit on the couch literally day after day" and ate a meal "every two hours."

Jared previously spoke about how it wasn't love at first sight with Ashley when the pair met on the show.

"I’m not gonna lie and say that I was in love with Ashley during BiP. It was a slow build for me," he said.

Ashley confessed to liking Jared, but the feeling wasn't shared at that time.

But when she moved on and found someone new, Jared felt that he had lost his chance and knew what he wanted.

He said: "I was just sitting there and thinking, ‘God, I wish Ashley were here."

"I just wanna hang out with Ashley."
