Ashley Jacobs is living her best life out west. On April 3, the Southern Charm alum, who got married to husband Mike Appel and has two kids after her exit from the show, shared the sweetest update via her Instagram Stories.
In the snapshots, Ashley, who now lives in Santa Barbara, California, showed her adorable sons, Grayson Maxwell Appel and her newborn, whom she welcomed in early November. The pair posed together while wearing LA Dodgers gear. "Making daddy proud," Ashley wrote over the tender photo.
In a second snap, Ashley celebrated her newborn's five-month mark with a small sign and a sweet message. "Oh how we love you...our sweet 5-month-old."
The little one smiled brightly for the camera as his older brother looked on. So cute!
Ashley Jacobs shares more peeks inside her "dreamy" life with her family
Ashley shared more adorable memories earlier in January as she walked with her two sons and her husband.
In the Instagram Story snapshots, she carried her baby against her chest while Grayson happily rode alongside her in his electronic red tractor. "Beautiful day for a tractor ride," she wrote over the photo, smiling in the foreground.
Ashley couldn’t help but appreciate the stunning scenery during their walk, writing, "We live in paradise," as Grayson cruised in front of a grove of palm trees.
While 2025 is off to a great start for the family of four, Ashley was a little sentimental about leaving the previous year behind. She shared a New Year's Eve photo of Mike dressed in a sports coat and "Happy New Year" glasses, holding their newborn in front of festive streamers. Reflecting on their blessings, she wrote, "2024 was good to us."
Whitney Sudler-Smith reveals decision to cast Ashley Jacobson on Southern Charm
Before settling into her West Coast paradise, Ashley lived in Charleston, where she was part of Southern Charm Seasons 5 and 6. In an interview with BravoTV.com, Whitney discussed how casting Ashley in Season 5 significantly impacted the show's direction.
"It's amazing. We've been quite lucky, too. Just when you think someone's played out, or a storyline is dead or something, something f--king insane or somebody comes up from out of the darkness," he explained in the video above. "Season 5, we were getting stale [and] suddenly out of nowhere comes Ashley. Riveting television."
