Ashley Darby just might be having her most fabulous birthday yet. The Real Housewives of Potomac cast member recently took to Instagram to show how she was definitely having an unforgettable “Bad B!tch Summer” while displaying some of her most glamorous looks at a party. And now this week, she took a moment to reflect on her life during her special day, as she expressed her gratitude on her birthday.
"34. Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel," Ashley wrote in the caption of her June 8 post, which featured a stunning picture of the RHOP mom, all smiles, in a sultry dress with cutouts.
Ashley also shared another gorgeous picture of herself from the same photo shoot on Instagram, along with penning a heartfelt caption acknowledging her appreciation for how far she had come as she marked another year around the sun. "I'm truly thankful for every single turn that’s brought me here," she wrote, adding, "Learning to trust and release. Thank you for riding with me babes."
Ashley confirmed in an exclusive statement to The Daily Dish that she and her husband Michael Darby had decided to separate, and now the RHOP mom revealed how she has been adjusting to her next chapter. "In my era and loving it," she wrote in a recent post, which featured Ashley living her best life in a stunning topless photo.
Since revealing the news of her split, Ashley has been opening up with fans about the next phase of her life, as she shared an empowering message on Instagram last month, writing, “I finally understand — LIFE IS TRULY WHAT YOU MAKE IT! And I’m going to make it mine.”
The RHOP mom of two has also kicked off her summer by spending lots of time with friends and family, as she recently shared a group photo with her adorable sons, Dean Michael Darby, 2, and Dylan Matthew Darby, 1, last month, writing in the caption of her post, "“Such a wonderful weekend with some of my day [ones].”
RHOP is streaming on Peacock and available on the Bravo app.
