Ashley Iaconetti is going to be an aunt!
The Bachelor Nation alum’s younger sister, Lauren Iaconetti, is expecting her first baby, Ashley, 37, shared via Instagram Stories on Saturday, December 20. She wrote “surprise” over a photo of Lauren’s growing bump.
Later on Saturday, she attended her sister’s “Christmas-themed” baby shower, which featured bear motifs and lots of holiday decor.
Lauren, 35, donned a form-fitting maroon dress that featured long feathered sleeves and wore her hair in a loose updo. Ashley rocked a black mini dress with white lace trim details and black printed tights.
Ashley’s eldest son, Dawson, 3, was a special guest at the event. (Ashley and husband Jared Haibon also share son Hayden, 17 months.)
“The first baby,” Ashley captioned a picture via Instagram Stories of herself with Lauren and Dawson. She also reshared a group photo from the shower.
Lauren, who appeared on the season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise alongside Ashley, shared her pregnancy news on Saturday with a carousel of photos.
“Hot dads in waiting rooms >>>,” she captioned the Instagram post, which featured snaps of her husband Hunter McFadden, as well as one of her bare belly.
There was also a video of a Dunkin’ box, which when lifted up featured a positive pregnancy test and read, “Eat up… I don’t want to be the only one with a belly!”
“Biggest congrats 🥂 THE DONUT 🍩 BOX REVEAL 🙌🏻👏🏻🤩👌🏻❤️,” Emma Willis wrote, with Bachelor Nation’s Emily and Haley Ferguson also sharing their congratulations.
Lauren announced her engagement to McFadden in May 2021. They tied the knot in April of this year.
“Didn’t see the Backstreet Boys… but I did get married ✅,” the hairstylist wrote in September of her Las Vegas wedding.
“5 months later 😂,” Ashley commented below the photo post.
The “Almost Famous” podcast host shared her own tribute to Lauren and Hunter following their nuptials.
“When I was a sophomore in college, my roommate, Taylor, and I had our siblings come visit for a weekend. We were all friends since elementary school. Her brother brought his friend, Hunter, with him. My sister, Lauren, had thought Hunter was cute for quite some time at school (she loved his hockey flow) but she had never hung out with him before. Well, it didn’t take long for me to be embarrassed as my 17-year-old sister locked herself in the bathroom at a college party with Hunter,” Ashley wrote. “Everyone was telling me to get her out of there…I was banging on the door…The amount of hickies she had the following day was actually hysterical. They went on to be Homecoming dates and now life partners. (There was some other life that happened in between, but for right now, that’s what matters!) Congratulations, @laurenai & @mcfaddenpartners_hunter!”
