The pair have reportedly ended their marriage after one year
Meanwhile, Josh appears to have debuted a shock new career change.
The former Hawthorn star is now pursuing his passion for campdrafting, an Australian sport involving a horse and rider working cattle.
The idea of campdrafting involves one mounted rider moves into a small yard, called a ‘camp’, which encloses six to eight head of cattle. The rider cuts out one steer or heifer from the cattle in the camp and brings it to the front of the camp, according to The Australian Bushmen’s Campdraft and Rodeo Association.
The footy couple further fuelled speculation when they were seen viewing separate properties, according to the Herald Sun.
No recent photos of the pair feature on either of their Instagram pages, with the most recent one appearing on Ashley’s account in a 2022 Christmas Day post.
In another sign of a potential split, the couple have reportedly also been searching independently for new properties, sources say.

The former Hawks defender is believed to have recently bought a home in Ballarat.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Josh’s representatives for comment.
Josh and Ashley had been raising their son Brody on a gorgeous property with five horses, and divided their time between Daylesford and Ballarat.
Their reported split comes just over a year after the couple tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony in the Yarra Valley in March 2023.
Josh and Ashley celebrated their union surrounded by their loved ones in a romantic ceremony at the opulent Hubert Estate in Coldstream.
On the special day, Josh paid tribute to Ashley as he described their ‘perfect’ life together with their son, whom they welcomed in 2021.
‘I never imagined finding the love and fulfilment that has come across me since you came into my world,’ he said at the time.
‘Being married to you is perfect. Having a family with you is perfect. I am so looking forward to the next chapter of our life.
‘I really hope the next chapter we write, though, involves a child that actually sleeps through the night because we can’t have a Brody 2.0.’
