“I am doing laps in the dating pool, and I’m having the absolute time of my life!” the divorcee told Dominique Da Diva for BOSSIP. “There are so many different types of men out there, and women, because you know I date women a little bit too. I’m meeting so many different personalities.”

“Now that I’m 37, I can date either in the 20s…30s…40s…50s…60s. I’m at this point where everybody is fair game. I can be either your girlfriend or your stepmom!”
Beyond romance, Ashley told BOSSIP that she leaning into her musical talent this season, despite making headlines for a pitchy performance of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly.”
“I’m just getting this confidence back that I didn’t have. I’m gonna have hiccups here and there, but hater’s always gonna hate. And I’m gonna continue to prosper,” said Ashley.
Meanwhile, Dr. Wendy Osefo radiated her signature swag and sophistication, calling on viewers to tune in.
