Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Potomac featured a brand-new Ashley Darby. She is in her bloom era, and don’t try to tell her otherwise. However, jaws dropped when she revealed to Charrisse Jackson-Jordan that she smooched her son, Jackson Jordan.
Look, Ashley’s divorce from Michael Darby was a long time coming. The couple, who were married for eight years, announced their separation in 2022. In February 2025, their divorce was finalized. Meanwhile, Ashley is on the dating scene, and I’m still clutching my pearls over her recent reveal.
Ashley Darby felt “electricity” with “young” Jackson Jordan
During a recent episode of RHOP, Ashley told Charrisse that she got up close and personal with Jackson. After the Season 8 crab boil, Jackson drove a tipsy Ashley home. And, at her front door, they made out.
Recently, Ashley explained more about her relationship with Jackson when she stopped by Watch What Happens Live. Host Andy Cohen was eager to dive into the details. “And describe, when he came in for the kiss, what was going on in your head?” Andy asked.
She responded, “Well, when we touched hands, when I took … the key from him, it was electricity. Went through my body. He’s so young, I didn’t think that I would like a little youngin’ like that, but I ….” Ashley added. She also confirmed that Jackson is 10 years younger than her.
Next, Andy asked about Charrisse. “Why did you keep the kiss a secret from Charrisse for so long?” Andy asked. “He asked me to. I wanted to be on the same page about it,” Ashley replied. And when Ashley was quizzed if there was more than a single kiss, she responded with a smile, “Um, well, maybe.”
Then, Ashley confirmed that she saw Jackson “more than one time.” As for her biggest worry about Charrisse? “Well, I thought that Charrisse would see on her cam, her security cam, and we would get busted,” Ashley explained. Yes – Jackson was living at home with Charrisse during these rendezvous. Now, Ashley is dating her ex, Josh Gudenburr, once again.
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
