But in October 2021, Ashley shared that she was pregnant once again.

“Our journey to another baby was not what we expected,” she wrote on her Instagram page at the time. “The losses that I have experienced have been the darkest times in my life. If I am being honest there were countless nights where I would cry in bed thinking I would never have another baby.”
