Ashley Iaconetti Reveals Why She Only Wants 2 Kids and Why She’s Okay with Not Having a Daughter
Getting candid.
As Bachelor Nation fans know, Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti first met on Season 2 of “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2015.
The two got engaged on Season 5 of “Bachelor in Paradise” and tied the knot in August 2019.
Since then, they’ve welcomed son Dawson into their lives, and now they are expecting baby boy number two.
Last week, Ashley revealed on Instagram that she and Jared will be done having kids after this pregnancy and now she’s explaining why.
In a recent Q&A, the Bachelor Nation star opened up about not wanting more children.
Ashley said, “That’s all we want. I’m surprised by the comments asking me why we wouldn’t try for a girl. First, we have no desire for more than two kids. We feel very fulfilled with two and just Dawson himself is a handful!”
She went on, “People make it seem like if we had a third it would be a girl guaranteed. I did have this expectation of having a daughter all my life until I didn’t and the death of that dream (which is a really dramatic way of putting it) hasn’t felt significant.”
Ashley and Jared are happy with their two kids and wouldn’t want it any other way!
She concluded her post by saying, “After having Dawson, I don’t feel the same desire for a girl.”
We love how honest and open Ashley is and we know her continuing to candidly share her pregnancy journeys will help others.
