In explaining the reasons for their split, Ashley said that she and J.P. had had issues for years. 

"It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that, after months of separation, J.P. and I have amicably decided to go our separate ways," Ashley wrote alongside a photo of the two of them dancing. "We created the most beautiful children and shared memories that will never be forgotten."

She continued, "Our differences have taken a toll on our relationship and after years of attempting to repair the damage, we’ve decided that it is in our family’s best interest to create new and separate lives for our children." 

In a post of his own, J.P. said that there was no single reason for the split. "Please please please know that there is no one to blame, that there’s no event that triggered this decision, that no one is the victim, and that we’ve done absolutely everything we possibly can to try to salvage this marriage," he explained. 

"I think we’ve both come to realize that we are just two very different people, with very different personalities and perspectives, who just don’t see eye to eye on a lot of life fundamentals, those which are the building blocks for a happy and healthy marriage," he continued. 

"We have created the most beautiful, sweet, and loving children, and have created so many unforgettable memories that we’ll always cherish."
