Sharing a photo with a headline that referenced her split from her husband, Darby captioned it: “It’s been almost 8 magical years. Please visit bravotv.com.”
The statement shared exclusively with bravotv.com “When Michael and I said ‘yes, I’ almost eight years ago, from that moment on we expected to share every single day with each other. Unfortunately, that is not our current reality. We have decided to separate,” she wrote.
Ashley wto indicate that they know there will be a lot of speculation surrounding the split. “There will be a lot of speculative views as to why we made this decision. People will quickly assume that the causes were reality TV’s over-intrusion into the most personal parts of our lives, age differences, cultural issues, or differences in child-rearing.”

While Ashley admits that many of the things she listed may have played a role in the breakup, she doesn’t just blame those elements. “We are both at very different stages in our lives now and have different goals for our future. We both want the other to find true happiness and fulfillment and feel we cannot do it together.”
Ashley’s split follows another tumultuous season of infidelity rumors in her marriage. In the sixth season of RHOP Micheal was called out after he was photographed in a bar allegedly approaching a woman who was not his wife.
At the time, Ashley had just given birth and was on a girls’ day out with the rest of the cast. There was an awkward silence when the news broke to her, especially since she was so reluctant to even leave.

The Australian-born businessman has spent most of his time on the show fending off cheating allegations. He was accused of being overheard saying she wanted to give fellatio to fellow cast member Robyn Dixon’s husband, Juan Dixon.
He was later charged and charged (later dismissed) with assaulting a crew member during filming of an earlier season. It’s safe to say that since Ashley’s second season in the popular franchise, there have been one or two allegations against her husband.
The 33-year-old continued to apologize for their relationship in the lengthy press release. “While our romantic bond is broken, we will always love and respect each other. We also know that true happiness can only be achieved by continuing to work together and putting our heart and soul into raising our two beautiful boys, Dean and Dylan.”
Ashley Darby’s castmates polled the Union
The yogi’s relationship has been quite questioned by other housewives. The mother-of-two shared that she and Micheal have had a couple of behind-closed-doors NSFW funs involving another person.
In season six, fans got to watch as Ashley became a mother to two children and began to wonder if Michael is actually her forever person. While she insisted she was as happy as possible, Giselle Bryant, Dixon and the grande dame herself, Karen Huger, all voiced their concerns about the rocky status of the relationship.

In an all-too-familiar move, the Darbys have been careful to emphasize that they are fully focused on their children, Dean, 2, and Dylan, 1, and there are absolutely no negative feelings.
“They will always feel loved and supported because they were truly created out of love. As this is a personal matter for us, we appreciate everyone who has been a part of our journey and ask for your continued support in respecting us as we navigate this emotional situation.”
Support is already coming from fans and fellow housewives alike wishing Ashley (and sometimes Michael) well.
One thing is for sure after the thirst trap Ashley posted from TikTok there is excitement in the air for single Ashley in the new season of Potomac.
