Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon Open Up About Having 2 Boys<\/h2>\n

On an August 2023 episode of <\/a>\u201cThe Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast,\u201d Ashley Iaconetti<\/strong><\/a> admitted, \u201cI had such gender disappointment with Dawson.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it was like I\u2019m not going to have that sister-sister bond [with my kids],\u201d she explained. \u201cThat was really sad for me. It didn\u2019t last very long.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the couple later revealed they were expecting another boy<\/a> during an Amazon Live in February 2024, Ashley Iaconetti told fans she cared \u201ca lot less\u201d about the sex of baby No. 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s funny because when it comes to gender disappointment, I had it so much worse with Dawson. We found out, and I was upset for a day or two,\u201d she said during the livestream.<\/p>\n

Jared Haibon<\/strong> had a sunnier take. \u201cThe idea that we\u2019re gonna have two boys is gonna be a lot of fun,\u201d he gushed, before adding with a laugh, \u201cIt\u2019s just gonna be bumps and bruises. We\u2019re gonna have to wear helmets, because it\u2019s just gonna be constant chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iaconetti admitted to having \u201ca little moment\u201d to process that she\u2019ll never have a baby girl, adding, \u201cI really actually do not even care what the combo is now, I just want them to be close.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kylie Kelce<\/strong><\/a> held nothing back during the premiere episode of her \u201cNot Gonna Lie\u201d podcast in December 2024. The mom of four admitted to crying \u201cfor a solid 30 minutes\u201d<\/a> when she found out her second child would also be a girl after convincing herself she was having a boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not big on gender reveals because I believe there\u2019s always some level of bias, whether you realize it or not,\u201d she confessed. \u201cWhen we found out we were having Ellie and Ellie was a girl, I cried for a solid 30 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kylie and husband Jason Kelce<\/strong> share daughters Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett and Finn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not talking about that I was sad,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m talking about a full heaving cry for 30 minutes because I felt different in the beginning of that pregnancy and I had somehow convinced myself in my subconscious not even knowingly that it was a boy. So when I heard that it was a girl, I completely lost it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tCourtesy of Kylie Kelce\/Instagram Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, are proud parents of\u00a0daughters\u2014 and they wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. The Philadelphia Eagles center married Kylie in April 2018 nearly three years after matching on dating app Tinder. Less than one year after their nuptials, they welcomed eldest daughter Wyatt in October [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But all those tears? Gone the moment she held her daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be clear, I hold only the slightest bit of guilt about that because then we met Ellie, she was the sweetest, most lovely little girl, and she still is,\u201d Kylie said. \u201cI always tell people we want healthy babies. Everyone thinks we went for a fourth to try for a boy. I knew we were going to get a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abby Howard and Matt Howard\u2019s Emotional Revelation About Baby No. 3<\/h2>\n

Influencers Matt Howard<\/strong> and Abby Howard<\/strong> both got candid about their experience<\/a> during an April 2026 episode of their \u201cUnplanned Podcast\u201d after finding out they\u2019re expecting their third baby boy \u2014 a rainbow baby following the loss of their daughter, Emerson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say for me, I did feel gender disappointment,\u201d Abby shared. \u201cFor about 30 seconds. Maybe less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through tears, she continued, \u201cI didn\u2019t have a girl-sized hole in my heart, I had an Emerson-sized hole in my heart. Having another baby girl wasn\u2019t going to fix that. I think this was sweet grace, in a way. It\u2019s very obvious now that this baby is not going to fill that gap.\u201d<\/p>\n
