Jay Smith

Ashley Martson and Jay Smith are the supremely dysfunctional couple on 90 Day Fiance that extended their fifteen minutes of fame by exploiting their behavior.  During their time on the show, Ashley filed for divorce not once, but twice.  She withdrew the petition after two weeks, only to reapply a few months later.  Those papers, filed in April, have yet to be signed by Jay.

Any subsequent news about the couple had more to do with Jay’s time in ICE custody and his new relationship.  Ashley attended some events, but relatively speaking, kept a low profile.  However, fans of the show know that, in terms of tabloid fodder and fans’ guilty pleasure in reading it, aren’t these two just better together?

90 Day Fiance train-wreck duo Jay Smith and Ashley Martson were seen partying together at the same event over the weekend.  This is the first time the former couple were publicly together in awhile and it is a questionable encounter since Ashley had filed a Protection From Abuse Order against Jay on July 1st.  He violated the order and had a warrant issued for his arrest.  A mere 2 days later, Jay turned himself in to authorities.

Jay was taken into ICE custody for over four weeks and upon his release, was picked up from the detention center by then girlfriend, Kayla O’Brien.  Depending on who you ask, this was the woman that Jay started a relationship with while still married to Ashley.

Ashley Martson and Jay Smith may have imploded before our eyes on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, but that doesn’t mean that either party is ready to step out of the limelight just yet.  Their premise for being on the show is over, but these two aren’t going away anytime soon.  And if you thought Ashley wouldn’t comment on her ex-husband’s new relationship, you clearly haven’t been keeping up.

Some fans called it right away.  Jay was too young and immature.  Fidelity was not his strong suit, and Ashley ignored major red flags about his behavior in Jamaica.  She banked on Jay changing his ways once he was States-side, and we all know how that turned out.  Their relationship brought out a special kind of classy.  There were multiple filings for divorce, bathroom hookups, and a notorious tinder account that materialized the day after the wedding.

For those still following the drama of Jay Smith and Ashley Martson on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, we’ve just stomached another episode of this toxic couple.  After signing divorce papers and moving out, Jay returned to Mechanicsburg, PA to help care for Ashley as she battled kidney failure earlier this year.  Shortly thereafter, Ashley withdrew her divorce petition.

Ashley went on her social media the day before the episode aired to give her side of the story.  Followers were quick to question her judgement concerning Jay.  Of course, it’s easier in hindsight to do so since Ashley filed for divorce again in April.  On the episode though, it just seemed like Ashley needed some support in a time of struggle.
