Ashley Darby has made her romance with Luke Gulbranson Instagram official after weeks of speculation.
The Real Housewives of Potomac OG, 34, was first linked to the Summer House star, 38, earlier this year, after they were pictured looking cozy at BravoCon.
Taking to social media, she couldn’t help but share a sweet snap with her beau during a snow-filled getaway to Minnesota.
‘The definition of a winter wonderland,’ the mom-of-two captioned the adorable upload.
‘I didn’t know I missed snow so much! Thank you for showing me the beauty of Minnesota! @lukegulbranson.’
Ashley’s picture has racked up nearly 90,000 likes so far, with many famous faces heaping praise in the comments below.
RHOP co-star Gizelle Bryant simply replied: ‘Super cute!’
Former Real Housewives of Atlanta favorite Cynthia Bailey agreed: ‘Y’all are so dang cute!’
The official Bravo TV Instagram account yelled: ‘LUKE HAS ENTERED THE GRID.’

The Bravo star met Luke at BravoCon in October, and realized just how ‘special’ their bond could be at a party during the event.
Speaking to Page Six, she explained they went to see Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval’s band play live, where they spent the whole night ‘vibing’.
‘We watched Tom perform on stage and it was so good,’ she said. ‘Both of us got really wrapped up in the music. I was with somebody who I was meant to be [with] at that concert.
‘It was a really surreal feeling.’

“We just were vibing and singing together,’ she added. ‘And that was when I was like, “Okay, this is something a little more than what I thought it was going to be.’”
Their budding new romance comes months after Ashley confirmed her split from husband Michael Darby, 63.
The pair first met more than a decade ago, when she was 22 and bartending – before she moved to an internship at his company.
She asked him out a few months later, and they got engaged shortly after, tying the knot in 2014.
Their marriage – and subsequent split – was shown in front of the camera on the Real Housewives of Potomac, with cameras on hand to capture the arrival of their first son, Dean, in 2019.
Last year, the former couple completed their family with son Dylan.
In April of this year, Ashley announced their divorce, but insisted that they will always have ‘love and respect for each other’.
‘Almost eight years ago, when Michael and I said “I do,” we anticipated sharing every single day together from that moment forward. Unfortunately, that is not our current reality. We have decided to separate,’ she began.

‘While our romantic bond is broken, we will always love and respect each other. We also know that true happiness can only be achieved by continuing to work together and putting our hearts and souls into raising our two beautiful boys, Dean and Dylan.
‘They will always feel loved and supported, for they were truly created out of love.
‘As this is a personal matter for us, we appreciate everyone who has been a part of our journey and ask for your continued support by respecting us as we go through this emotional situation.’
