However, it appears that Ashley has now sparked a romantic connection with someone new (and no, it’s not Vernon Davis).

Who is Ashley Darby dating?

During Part 3 of The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 8 reunion, which aired on April 14, host Andy Cohen asked Ashley for an update on her love life. “Can you tell us anything about the person you’re dating right now?” he said.

Immediately, Ashley blushed and laughed before replying, “I have a friend, and he’s a nice man.” Although Ashley failed to reveal the mystery guy’s alias, she did mention some traits of his that might prevent them from going long-term.

Ashley added: “But he doesn’t want to get married, and he has no children, so I think this is just a friendship.”

Is Ashley Darby still married?

Andy questioned Ashley about the “speculation” surrounding her separation from her husband, Michael Darby — more specifically, the notion that the separation isn't “real” and that she has no intentions of finalizing their divorce.

Ashley’s response to the situation? She said: “First of all, people have seen a fraction of what Michael and I went through… and so I’m breaking free — I have actually filed a complaint to really initiate my divorce.”

So, what pushed Ashley to take action to end her marriage? The RHOP ‘Wife admitted that she’s finally “prepared and ready to endure battle.”
