Ashley Darby "Cried" for This Reason at BravoCon 2023

On day two of BravoCon 2023 on Nov. 4 in Las Vegas, motherhood and everything that goes with it was the topic of conversation for six Bravolebs during the "Mom’s Night Out" live interview.

Panelists included The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Ashley Darby, Below Deck’s Kate Chastain, Southern Charm’s Madison LeCroy, The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Rachel Fuda and Jackie Goldschneider, and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Whitney Rose.

Moderator Daryn Carp got a status check of how all the Bravolebs' kids were doing, and when Daryn asked if they missed their little ones, Ashley confessed that she was moved to tears when she thought about her two sons, Dean and Dylan, earlier that day.

Ashley explains her emotional reaction, below.

“My kids are two and four. They have so much personality,” Ashley began during the live interview, adding that little Dean has, for example, recently discovered mooning. “I don't know where he learned it. He’ll just moons randomly.”

Not being around them isn’t easy, though, Ashley acknowledged. “I miss them a lot,” she said. “I miss their personalities. I miss them hugging me and kissing me. I just miss ’em, man. I cried this morning.”

Madison echoed that sentiment when she was asked about her son, Hudson. Southern Charm fans know that she's a mama bear who loves giving updates about how he's doing.

“We're best friends, and today is actually his 11th birthday,” she said. “So I'm having a little bit of mom guilt today. But you know, mama's got to work so I can spoil him rotten.”

Meanwhile, Kate had a different response about being away from her baby son, Sullivan Clay. "My child can't understand [what I'm saying], I don't miss him. I'm having a great time," she said cheekily. After hearing more answers, she added a disclaimer: "I miss him, but I'm having a great time with you guys, too."
