It’s going to kill me.'” She said. “I made the decision because I care about myself and my health a lot. Especially for the kids. My longevity and to be there for my kids. I think divorce is OK if it’s not working for you. If it’s unhealthy and you’ve worked at it, it’s OK.”
As for Ashley, she has been in a relationship with Miami-based food blogger Yanni Georgoulakis since 2021.
