Given that the beginning of their union played out on television, the duo reveals they would be open to a reality show focused on their family — especially if it was centered around them living in the Help! I Suck at Dating podcast host's home state of Rhode Island.

"Yeah, we would definitely be," Haibon notes of the idea. "It would have to be something that we feel comfortable with. I think it would be hilarious to document our family in Rhode Island — it would be like the east coast Real Housewives!"

Despite tying the knot two years ago, Iaconetti says the idea of a Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica style reality show would be fun for her and her husband to work on together — not to mention for young couples everywhere! "That show is still so incredibly relatable to young married people," the new mom gushed about MTV's early 2000's hit.

After finding his own fairytale romance while traveling the world, Haibon is determined to help other people find true love while seeking adventure. In fact, the proud papa is teaming up with Virgin Atlantic for their "Tickets to Love" contest to send eight lucky winners to London on a mission to find the love of their life — complete with Upper Class tickets and a luxe hotel stay at London’s The Standard.

"Ashley and I are obviously known for finding love on the beach," Haibon points out, adding, "We fell in love in Mexico. So we wanted to give people the opportunity to find love in a lavish setting, in a different country."

"He's just so nurturing," Iaconetti says of her guy. "Jared is so helpful. He just wants to take care. He just easily loves, he just loves being a caretaker."

For the new dad, seeing his partner become a mother has been just as amazing. "To see her give life to our son, gave me a whole new level of appreciation for Ashley," he spills. "Seeing her give birth, it's something as a guy I've ever experienced and I'll never go through growing life inside of me and knowing what that feels like."
