Now, the actress is sharing how she’s “slowly healing” and “slowly finding myself” after giving birth. “I’m not trying to get back to who I was, there’s no way,” Ashley wrote via Instagram. “I’m on the road to discovering who I’m truly meant to be and there’s something in my daughters eyes that tells me she knows exactly who that’s gonna be.”

The actress first announced that she and Chris were expecting in September 2020, and nearly a month later they revealed that they were having a baby girl. “It feels so good to finally share this news with you guys! Where do I even begin?” Ashley wrote in her pregnancy announcement post on her blog, . Throughout her entire pregnancy, Ashley continuously gave fans a glimpse at her growing baby bump. She also shared her journey with her blog readers.

“I think change can be hard, but I continue each day saying I love you to my body because it’s doing so much, and it’s creating is a beautiful miracle. I have to let the ego-mind go and appreciate that my body can even do this. It’s letting go of my own needs because the needs of my baby are more important,” she wrote in a March 2021 Frenshe post. “I don’t know what my body will be like after the baby comes, but I do know I’m going to give it time, let it heal, and take really good care of it.”

She also opened up about her post-baby body in June 2021. “I still don’t feel comfortable in my body,” Ashley shared in another Frenshe post. “Yes, I started to fit into some jeans again, but not the size I was wearing before. Everyone keeps saying that it takes time — it takes time growing the baby and it takes time losing the baby weight. And you know what? That’s the truth … That’s when I realized we can’t compare our bodies to each other.”
