Ah-kay! Looks like Ashley Darby is ending her year off with a bang!
The “Real Housewives of Potomac” star has been rumored to be dating someone new following her big split from husband Michael Darby. While fans have been trying to put all the pieces together, she’s finally letting everyone know that she may be off of the market… again.
On Tuesday, Darby seemingly made her romance with Luke Gulbranson Instagram official. She posted a selfie with the “Summer House” star while hanging out in Minnesota. Darby, 34, captioned the cute snap: “The definition of a winter wonderland ❄️ I didn’t know I missed snow so much!” She added, “Thank you for showing me the beauty of Minnesota! ♥️.”
Fans and co-stars seem to be feeling Mr. Luke as they’ve flooded her comment section with positive messages. “Real Housewives of Dallas” star Stephanie Hollman said, “This is so cute ❤️.” Cynthia Bailey also commented on the post, “Y’all are so dang cute! ❤️.” Meanwhile, Darby’s castmate and friend Robyn Dixon wanted straight answers. She asked, “Ok so is this your boyfriend?”
The two have been seen hanging out for some time now but never really gave fans the status of their relationship. It was said Ashley began a connection with Gulbranson while at BravoCon in October.
She shared at the time to Page Six, “Luke is really cute. We’ve exchanged numbers, so I’m definitely down to see what this is all about. He’s someone I definitely see myself having fun with.”
More On Her Split From Michael Darby
The “RHOP” star filed for divorce from the Australian businessman back in April after almost eight years of marriage. They share two sons: 3-year-old Dean, and Dylan, who will turn 2 in March. She announced the news of their split earlier this year in a statement on social media saying,
“Almost eight years ago, when Michael and I said ‘I do,’ we anticipated sharing every single day together from that moment forward. Unfortunately, that is not our current reality. We have decided to separate.”
“People will be quick to assume that the causes were too much intrusion by reality TV into the most personal parts of our lives, age gap issues, cultural problems, or child-rearing differences,” she said, admitting that “pieces of all these may have affected our pure love for each other, but no one reason is the root cause of our mutual decision to go our separate ways. We both want the other to achieve true happiness and fulfillment and feel that we cannot do this together.”
