In an interview with Hello! Magazine, Ashely said: “From the moment I found out, it felt so right.

“Caroline and I would always talk about our love life and she was so excited for me that I’d finally met a nice boy,” Ashley said
“She’d have been so happy for me. I wish I could have told her my pregnancy news.
“It sounds weird, but growing life has really helped me with the grieving process. It feels really nice to look forward to a new beginning.”
