AceShowbiz - Larissa Dos Santos Lima and Colt Johnson are not the only couple whose relationship took the center stage on "90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After", which premiered on April 8. Jay Smith and Ashley Martson's tumultuous marriage caught people's attention for so many reasons, including their huge age gap, cheating allegations and the many times Ashley filed for divorce from Jay, whom she met in Jamaica.
There was trouble in paradise in January, eight months after their wedding, when Ashley filed for divorce in a Pennsylvania court after she found out Jay used a dating app just three days after the wedding. However, she appeared to change her mind by withdrawing the paperwork one day later after Jay came to visit her at the hospital. "I may have hurt you. I may have not been a good husband. Jumping on a plane the second I found out you was in the hospital was something I didn't even think twice to do," 20-year-old Jay wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post.
The happy reconciliation, however, didn't last long with her filing for divorce this summer. This time, the split was kind of messy with Ashley accusing Jay of getting another girl pregnant. In an interview with In Touch Weekly, the 33-year-old said, "What my friend is saying turned out to be true and Jay confirmed it himself on the phone that he did indeed have another girl who is claiming he got her pregnant." Jay quickly hit back, calling Ashley an attention-seeker. "All I gotta say is I don't need to lie to media just to get attention," he said. "The internet is not for me. No one is pregnant from me. No one is pregnant from me. That's number one."
Following the ups and downs, Jay and Ashley were officially divorced on November 21. The latter couldn't help but rejoice over her new status, writing on Instagram Stories, "Today's a good day! I'm Officially a single Woman!!! I'm single again, Figured I would Update everyone since it's the most frequent asked Question. He finally signed." Even though she said that it was a "Happy Divorce," Ashley apparently still felt "like a failure." She admitted, "My last post may sound like I'm happy, which I am to put this chapter behind me, but it's a hard pill to swallow."
