So there have been a few "ambiguous" posts now that Ashley has posted around mental health and happiness. I'm starting to wonder whether actually his split from Fran was to do with lack of fulfillment/mental health struggles... Makes sense for Fran to stick by if he's somewhat fragile
I don’t believe we’ll ever know the reason, only that it wasn’t a toxic split.
I do feel he respects her as a best friend/companion, but has lost feelings and no longer sees her in a romantic way. I don’t feel she’ll ever meet anyone else, she’s too attached to Ashley, even just for co-parenting it’s way too intense how much she tags and posts about him, let alone the fact she is still working as his secretary.
Fair play to her though, she’s stuck by him and praised him throughout the 2 years since the supposed split happened.
I’m curious as to where Ashley is living now and if he is seeing someone when he’s not with Fran or at the Diversity Studio, e.g. at Christmas Day he was nowhere to be seen.
