Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon are considering expanding their family by giving their son Dawson a sibling. However, they plan to wait until the conditions are more favorable for Ashley to go through a second pregnancy.
"We're contemplating it. We will probably start trying lightly in September, maybe October. I really want to make the most of my entire summer," Iaconetti shared exclusively with We while discussing her recent appearance on Stars on Mars. "I adore summer. I simply want to feel free and enjoy every moment because we all know that I will experience severe sickness for a prolonged period, and I believe it's best for that to happen during the cooler months."
Iaconetti openly expressed the challenges she faced during her initial pregnancy, sharing with Us that she experienced persistent nausea and occasional shortness of breath for several months. Despite these hardships, the former Bachelor star successfully gave birth to Dawson in January 2022.
Iaconetti enthusiastically remarked to Us about her newborn, describing him as the most beautiful child she has ever seen. While acknowledging her bias, she couldn't help but marvel at his charm and inner radiance. Dawson evidently possesses a vibrant personality that captivates those around him.
Iaconetti shared with Us that their son is a perfect blend of both Bachelor in Paradise alumni. "He embodies the most prominent aspects of both our personalities," she expressed with excitement.
Furthermore, Iaconetti disclosed that their 17-month-old recently achieved a significant milestone - living up to his second middle name, Brady.

“He throws a ball, like, amazingly well. Like, can we get him a quarterback camp set up?” she joked.
Iaconetti mentioned that Dawson started walking a bit later, but now she struggles to keep up with her child.
"He has really improved his walking skills. It's interesting because some people advised me not to get too excited about his walking as it would create more problems for me. But I feel so empowered these days, like Ronda Rousey, because I find myself lifting him everywhere!" she exclaimed, proudly showcasing her well-toned arms.
After leaving Dawson with Haibon and her mother to film Fox’s Stars on Mars earlier this summer, Iaconetti reached a personal milestone. Although she didn't stay on the Red Planet for long and was eliminated on the Monday, July 17, episode, Iaconetti expressed her happiness upon returning home. Reflecting on her experience, she jokingly mentioned that she would have liked to be part of another mission and engage in more space-related activities, rather than just poking her finger in a hole. However, she was also grateful to have the opportunity to be back in Dawson and enjoy regular food.
