Her viral post on X cut through the noise, revealing the real story behind their absence: their son’s critical medical appointment.
“I hate that I even have to say this, but when people are negative about my kids, I will not be silent,” Ashley declared.
I hate that I even have to say this, but when people are negative about my kids, I will not be silent. Our son is sick, we were at the hospital yesterday seeing a specialist for his autoimmune disease. Please don’t spread misinformation and assume because you heard one side.

A Love Story Beyond the Football Field
Ashley and Liam’s journey began at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where their connection blossomed.
On January 20, 2021, Liam proposed to Ashley at Malibu Beach, a moment she celebrated with unbridled joy on social media.
Their family expanded with the birth of their first son, Jackson Ford Coen, on August 23, 2021.
Ashley’s social media post captured the pure emotion of that moment:
“August 23, 2021, was the best day of our lives. Everyone, meet our beautiful son Jackson Ford Coen. 7lbs 15oz and 20 inches long. He’s perfect, and we have been in total, utter bliss!”
