Ashley Darby has officially entered her post-divorce era — and there’s a new man in the picture. The “Real Housewives of Potomac” star opened up about her love life and hinted that she’s manifesting something more serious in the near future.
Ashley Darby Says She’s Manifesting Wedding Bells
In an exclusive interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Ashley, 36, revealed that she’s dating a “very private” man who works in politics. “Hopefully I will be able to have something concretely very soon,” she teased.
The former Miss District of Columbia said her finalized divorce from Michael Darby has shifted her perspective on love. “Well, as I am now officially divorced, I feel like I can actually start thinking about marriage to someone else,” she said. “You know, like a real marriage and not just playing house. Like I was doing for a while. So, I think that I am manifesting at least getting engaged in 2026, and hopefully a marriage by 2027. If it all happens in 2026, perfect. But, at least an engagement next year.”
Ashley’s divorce from Michael, which played out across RHOP season 9, officially wrapped earlier this year after nearly three years of separation. The pair share two sons: Dean, 6, and Dylan, 4.
Reflecting on the divorce at the RHOP season 10 premiere, Ashley admitted to ET that neither she nor Michael were “super happy,” but her attorney called that “the sign of a good divorce.” Now, she says she’s sleeping peacefully and embracing the next chapter.
