Ashley Darby Ends Silence: Confirms Split with Luke Gulbranson, Points Finger at Estranged Husband Michael for Relationship Troubles - lulu

   

So much for the “Summer Housewives of Potomac.”

Ashley Darby confirmed that she and Luke Gulbranson have called it quits due to ongoing issues stemming from her and estranged husband Michael Darby’s divorce.

“Luke and I are not romantically involved anymore,” the “Real Housewives of Potomac” star, 34, said on Sunday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”

Ashley explained that her life is “very complicated” at the moment, and despite Gulbranson, 39, being a “trooper” and going “through some things,” it wasn’t the right time.

“It’s not really about Luke, but [Michael and I] just have a hard time period with co-parenting and with separating,” the reality star added.

“It’s my situation with Michael that affected Luke and I, and like I said, he was a trooper but ultimately it’s just not there.”

“I met his whole family, they were amazing. I fell in love with them, it was so great, but you know, I am newly single,” Ashley continued.

The two continued getting to know each other, and Ashley even made their relationship Instagram-official with a selfie of them from their trip to Gulbranson’s native Minnesota before the holidays.

However, fans began to speculate they were over after Ashley deleted the sweet snap and unfollowed him on Instagram.
