Ashley Jacobs Welcomes Second Baby Boy With Husband Mikel Appel: “Our Family is Complete!”
Ashley Jacobs, best known from Southern Charm, just welcomed her second baby with her husband, Mike Appel. The joyful news came to Instagram on November 10, where Ashley shared adorable family snapshots, including one of her 3-year-old son, Grayson Maxwell, proudly sporting a “big brother” T-shirt beside his new sibling.
The heartwarming photos captured Grayson snuggling close to his little brother, and Ashley captioned the post, “One week with our boys💙🩵. Our hearts have never been so full 🫶 Our family is complete!”
In her Instagram Stories, Ashley also posted a series of videos and photos from the baby’s arrival, including a sweet close-up of the newborn with the caption, “Welcome to the world baby!”
In one clip, she and Mike shared a moment together, smiling as they held their new baby boy, with Ashley writing, “About to learn what it’s like to be parents of two.”
Ashley and Mike’s journey as a family has been full of memorable milestones. In September, she announced her pregnancy to PEOPLE, where she shared exclusive photos from a babymoon vacation at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort.
“I’ve come a long way since my Southern Charm days!” Ashley said at the time. She added that she was thrilled to be adding another little boy to the family, saying, “We cannot wait for his arrival and to watch our boys grow up together. Grateful is an understatement!”
Ashley and Mike’s relationship has been a sweet story of love and adventure. The pair met in 2019 at a summer rooftop party in Ashley’s hometown of Santa Barbara. A few months later, they went public on Instagram. Then in March 2021, Mike proposed during a thrilling snowmobile ride in Park City, Utah, which Ashley described as an unforgettable moment. Later that year, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony.
Reflecting on her journey from Southern Charm star to mother of two, Ashley couldn’t be happier. Life has been busy for the new family, especially with baby #2’s arrival and a home remodel in the works. “Life is pretty hectic at the moment,” Ashley shared during her pregnancy. But the couple still found time for one last vacation before the baby’s arrival.
“The choice was obvious to have our babymoon in our hometown of Santa Barbara!” she said, describing the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort as “as close to paradise as you can get.”
As Ashley and Mike settle into their new role as parents of two, they’re ready for every new adventure ahead. As Ashley said, “We’re a great team, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead!”
