The 30-year-old took to social media on Wednesday to announce his wife Francesca is expecting their first baby and they’ve already found out it will be a daughter.
Ashley posted a photo showing him with a pair of tiny pink Converse shoes draped around his neck while Francesca stood next to him holding up their baby scan photo.

His caption read: “I am so excited to finally share the news that we are having a baby!! Now the time has come to finally say this out loud I have no idea what to say! I don’t know if words alone can explain how full of joy and happiness we both are.
“It has been a more difficult journey to this point than most people know but we are now here with one of the most precious gifts in the world… a little girl! I have so many strong and incredible women around me, I know she will have great examples to follow.”
Ashley then gave a special shout-out to Francesca, continuing: “Especially this woman right here – my wife and my rock. You are going to be the best mum in the world.”
He concluded his post with a reference to his dancing background, quipping: “I’m so excited to see our little one grow up and if by any chance she wanted to be like her daddy and bust a few moves, I’ve already got the dancing shoes covered! Can’t wait to meet you little sweetie.”
Ashley and Francesca married in 2015.
