Ashley Darby of Real Housewives of Potomac fame has finalized her divorce from husband Michael Darby. 

The 36-year-old television personality filed for divorce last November, more than two years after separating from Michael.

Digital court records reviewed by TMZ confirm that the dissolution of the marriage was made official on Monday.

Michael — who shares sons Dean, five, and Dylan, four in March, with Ashley — previously told the outlet their divorce settlement includes shared custody of the kids and is ‘amicable and fair.’

In early January, Ashley sat down with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live and opened up about the status of their divorce was ‘in the hands of Virginia State.’

Following the separation announcement, she moved out of the home she shared with Michael and began seeing Luke Gulbranson of Summer House fame at the end of 2022.

On WWHL last month, the Housewives star described her new man as ‘a good guy.’

And she dished to Cohen and the audience, ‘We don’t have labels at the moment, but we are only banging each other.’

Meanwhile, she said her ex Michael is ‘in the streets every weekend,’ per an account from People magazine.

She added about the 65-year-old real estate pro, ‘People tell me all the time, which —I’m happy, go live your life, have a great time… but I hear all about it.’

The mother-of-two added that they’ve found a good co-parenting balance in the wake of their split.

Ashely told Page Six last November that she has dealt with a flurry of emotions in the wake of her marriage falling apart.

‘It’s hard out here, OK?’ she said. ‘I wish that I could put a time stamp on it that everyone wants me to in relation to this divorce. It is so emotional for me. It’s a point of grieving.

‘I even went through a little bit of a depression of, like, thinking about where my life is now versus where I thought it was going to be and coming to terms with that.’

In her 2022 separation announcement, the Bravo star said: ‘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.’
