Ashley Darby Is Expecting Her First Child with Husband Michael Darby


Bravo.com:
Congratulations are in order for Ashley Darby! The Real Housewives of Potomac restaurateur is expecting her first child with husband Michael Darby, The Daily Dish has confirmed. "I've always wondered what this would feel like - carrying a being inside of my body - but actually being pregnant is more incredible than I could have imagined,” Ashley said in a statement to The Daily Dish. 

“Through all of our past heartbreak, this is the most incredible gift we could ever receive."
Ashley gave The Daily Dish an exclusive first look at her baby bump, which you can check out in the above video. The clip features Ashley and Michael embracing, looking lovingly into each other's eyes, and kissing before revealing her beautiful baby bump. We also learn that Ashley and Michael's baby is due in July 2019.

The RHOP mom-to-be told PEOPLE that she and Michael are keeping the gender of their baby a surprise for now. “We have the results in Michael’s desk drawer at work, but we might do a sex reveal, that’s still a toss up in the air,” she said. “But for now, it’s just really hypothesizing if it’s going to be a boy or a girl based on the heartbeat, the shape of the belly, the condition of my skin — all those things that are supposed to be predictors of the baby’s sex.”

Although Ashley has long referred to her and Michael's future child as "Mickshley," a combination of both of their first names, she told PEOPLE that they're currently “going back and forth with names.” “With an Australian man who tends to lean more towards the English side with his name choices, it’s very interesting,” she joked about Michael. “He wants it to be a Phillip or an Elizabeth or something very regal. It needs a little bit of culture in there!”

This will be Ashley’s first child. Michael has two adult children (ages 27 and 24) from his first marriage.

Robyn Dixon Explodes On Ashley Darby



ETOnline.com:
Robyn Dixon has apparently had it with Ashley Darby.

In ET’s exclusive first look at Sunday’s The Real Housewives of Potomac, the ladies get into a shouting match at what is supposed to be a friendly brunch to heal the group.

“Look, ladies,” Gizelle Bryant announces to her friends. “We’re not having any fun anymore. So, this is a table of positivity. I felt in the spirit that the worst conflict was between Miss Ashley and Miss Robyn. I was hoping that we could get to a better place.”

Robyn simply replies “I’m good” to Gizelle, sending all the physical cues that she doesn’t want to speak about her issues with Ashley publicly. Robyn has been vocal about not liking how Ashley speaks to other people about Robyn’s relationship with her ex-husband, Juan, who is also the father of her children. Robyn and Juan don’t live apart and even sleep in the same bed, despite being divorced.

“I mean, I expect that to be Robyn’s reaction,” Ashley responds. “I’ve been going through a lot of things lately in relation to my mom and her partner. She stayed with him, because she says it’s for the benefit of my sister, their kid. I feel like, with Robyn, even though she doesn’t believe me, I do care about her. I don’t want anyone to stay in a situation for the benefit of the kids.”
