Reality TV star Ashley Iaconetti is best known for her appearances on The Bachelor (Season 19), Bachelor in Paradise (Season 2 and 3), and the first season of The Bachelor Winter Games (2018).
Since then, Iaconetti married her Bachelor in Paradise castmate Jared Haibon (see below), and the couple had their first child together, a son, who was born January 2022.
Right before the SAG-AFTRA strike, Iaconetti and Haibon had the opportunity to interview Hollywood movie star Tom Cruise at the New York premiere of his latest movie, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning, Part I.
As seen in the photos and video — be sure to swipe! — Cruise tells the couple, “You guys are awesome.”

The couple gushed over the time they got to spend with Cruise at the press events. Haibon reports: “We told him how much his movies have meant to us and how they’ve played a role in our relationship since I quoted the full ‘You Had Me at Hello’ scene during BIP2. He spoke to us with so much kindness and gratitude. Ashley and I used to joke about how magnetizing and engaged we imagined Cruise would be if we were to ever met him…and he was even beyond our dreams.”
As seen above, Iaconetti recently joined the celebronauts (former pro cyclist Lance Armstrong, Modern Family actress Ariel Winter, WWE wrestler Ronda Rousey, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams) on the new FOX reality series Stars on Mars.
Stars on Mars airs Mondays at 8 pm ET on FOX.
