Ashley said that the couple’s ‘lives have now changed for the better’ and thanked her followers for their ‘love and support’. She gave no other details surrounding her newborn’s birth, only that he arrived at 6pm in the evening, while Justin shared Ashley’s post to his own story.
Ashley first announced news she was expecting in August last year while celebrating her nine-year anniversary with Justin. She wrote: ‘Nine years ago today, I married the love of my life. It has been the best journey with my favorite person in the world!
‘Today, we are feeling so blessed, grateful and excited to celebrate with our GROWING FAMILY! Happy anniversary, @mrjustinervin. Life is about to get even better.’
A few months later, the pair confirmed they were expecting a baby boy and speaking about her pregnancy back in December, Ashley likened growing a baby to a ‘sci-fi movie’. ‘It’s like a little sci-fi film every day,’ she said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
‘There’s like a little alien taking over my stomach. ‘I swear he’s on a treadmill, and like, one day, he’s just gonna be running out of me. At least that’s what I’m hoping!’
Ashley also spoke about her Vogue cover, that saw her showing off her baby bump in a gold dress, and said: ‘It reminded me that anything is possible.
A girl like me from Nebraska can have anything you want, as long as you just fight for it, and you believe in yourself.’ Although, she did joke that it was only a ‘semi-solo’ cover, thanks to having her infant half co-star growing inside of her at the time.
