Kody met Ashly in October 2017. It wasn’t love at first sight but Kody thought she was pretty. The days passed into months and one day Ashly was approached by Kody’s friend to ask if she had a boyfriend. Ashly said no and then was asked what she thought of Kody. She never really thought about him other than he was cute and a little young. At that moment, Kody walked around the corner and knew they were talking about him. Over the next couple of days, Kody finally worked up the courage to talk to her and exchange numbers. Now the story turns complicated after their first date a couple of months later. Kody wasn’t ready for a serious relationship like Ashly was and there was an age gap. They decided to stay friends but their relationship moved back and forth for a couple of years until Ashly changed careers and said her goodbyes in August 2019. Kody was so used to seeing Ashly on a daily basis that now that he couldn’t see her, he really started to miss her. He reached back out to her in November and wanted to reconnect. Ashly did not want to go backwards anymore and told him either it was time to commit or they were finally done. Now, Kody was ready and asked Ashly to be his girlfriend. Of course, she made him wait before she said yes two days before Christmas. After that, they were well onto a serious relationship. They moved in together in September 2020 and in November they were gifted with the news of a baby on the way; Jaxson was born in June 2021. After another move and settling in to parent life, they were blessed again with news of another baby boy due in January 2023. Kody and Ashly decided to do a family maternity photoshoot in December 2022 before they welcomed Gunner into the family. During the photoshoot, Kody had planned a surprise proposal that no one knew about. Ashly said YES and the rest is history….
