Even if Ashley and Michael Darby aren’t officially divorced, that isn’t stopping the Real Housewives of Potomac star from “dipping and dabbling” with others — especially women.
The mother of two (Dean and Dylan) has showcased her rocky relationship with the real estate mogul since Season 1. In April 2022, after eight years of marriage, the pair announced their separation. “We are now both at very different stages in our lives and have different goals for our futures. We both want the other to achieve true happiness and fulfillment and feel that we cannot do this together.”
Since then, they’ve remained legally married while dating other people. At one point, Ashley was romantically linked to Summer House cast member Luke Gulbranson, and Family Karma’s Brian Benni even admitted he had eyes for her, too. But right now, Ashley is connecting with other suitors.
Ashley’s swimming in the lady pond…
During Ashley’s recent Watch What Happens Live appearance, the OG Housewife told Andy Cohen she’s been enjoying her time to experience new relationships. Specifically, Ashley’s “having a lot of fun … dipping and dabbling, [and] swimming in the pond.”
When asked if it’s just the “man pond,” Ashley clarified, “No. I have some lady friends, and I do like to kiss and tell … I love to kiss and tell.”
And that she did. The reality star then explained her most recent epiphany, saying she’s missed the gentle kisses from women.
“I must say I forgot how tenderly women kiss compared to men,” she told Andy and her fellow guest, Dr. Alicia Egolum from Married to Medicine. “I’ve missed that.”
Later, Andy, who doubles as host and executive producer of Real Housewives, joked he’d pull more information out of the former pageant queen at the upcoming Potomac reunion.
The Real Housewives of Potomac continues on Sundays at 8/7c.
