Is Ashley Roberts in a relationship?

Ashley confirmed her relationship with George last August.

At the time, she told the Daily Mail: “It was an unexpected thing, we met, and I was having a good time and living my best life, enjoying it and I was like: ‘This is someone quite special.’ I’m in a happy place.”

In May, headlines suggested Ashley’s relationship might have come to an end after she shared a cryptic break-up post.

However, the couple are seemingly still together.

Motherhood has ‘never has been a priority’ for Ashley

While other members of the Pussycat Dolls have gone on to become mothers, Ashley admitted to Jamie that it’s never been a goal of hers.

“It really never has been a priority to me. Even as a kid, I told my mom, ‘I don’t think I want kids, I don’t really care if I get married.’ It wasn’t like I was the girl planning the wedding and seeing the whole white picket fence and all that,” she told Jamie Laing.

The Heart FM host added: “I kinda kept thinking, ‘Well, maybe when I get older, that will shift,’ and I’m like, ‘It hasn’t really shifted.’ Again, who knows? I think every day, we’ve got to allow ourselves to exist in the possibility of waking up the next day and feeling different. Although, as a woman, we’ve got our biological clock.”

Ashley expressed her love for her dogs, which she referred to as her “fluffy babies”.  She insisted she “could have a load of dogs and be in heaven”.

“I mean, that’s how I feel right now, but who knows later on down the road? It’s 2025, there’s all kinds of ways, but I could just have a fur family and be happy as a pig in you-know-what,” Ashley continued.

The Buttons hitmaker declared travelling as her “love language”, stating she can “spend all my money on travelling” because she only has herself to think of.
