Ashley Darby Has No Idea Where Baby Dean Inherited This New Trait From

Ashley Darby’s son, Dean, is growing up so quickly! The Real Housewives of Potomac tot seems to be picking up plenty of skills and showing us new parts of his personality each day, and his proud mom recently revealed his latest adorable development that appears to have popped up out of the blue. 

How to Watch

In an October 4 Instagram post, Ashley shared a heart-warming video of her little boy busting out some seriously impressive moves, perfectly to the beat of “Get Down on It” by Kool and the Gang. While Dean’s dancing is undeniably cute, it sounds as though it has confused Ashley just a bit. 

“I didn’t develop rhythm until I was at least 10, and Michael’s blossomed when he met me,” Ashley wrote, asking, “So where did this little human inherit these moves?” 

RHOP cast member Gizelle Bryant commented on the super cute little dancer, writing, “Dancing so hard he almost fell. So cute!” 


Dancing isn’t Dean’s only hobby. Apparently, he and his father, Michael Darby, already share a love of biking! “We’ve been watching the Tour de France and now baby is ready to hit the road with Daddy! Dean doesn’t typically watch TV but he has been glued to the Tour. I wonder what his little mind is thinking now,” Ashley wrote alongside a video of Dean gearing up for a bike ride with his dad. 

In an October 5 Instagram Story, Ashley shared another update on Dean.“ It’s official, Dean is teething,” she said in a video of her and Dean playing on the couch. “He is growing up so fast!”
