Ashley Darby buys house with ex Michael amid divorce in ‘RHOP’ trailer

Reality TV

Ashley Darby hinted that her marriage with estranged husband Michael Darby isn’t totally over in the new Season 7 trailer for “Real Housewives of Potomac.”

“I found a house with Michael!” Ashley, 34, excitedly tells co-stars Karen Huger and Gizelle Bryant.

Both women gasp as Huger, 59, snaps back, “This is not no damn divorce!”

The idea of the exes – who share sons Dean, 3, and Dylan, 1 – buying a home together seemingly becomes a topic of conversation throughout the new season.

“You don’t buy a house with a man that you’re divorcing,” Bryant, 51, argues, though it appears Ashley doesn’t quite understand the dilemma.

“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 in a statement to the “Daily Dish” at the time.

The Darbys got married in May 2014 and their marriage has been a topic of conversation since the hit Bravo show premiered in January 2016.
