The Bold and the Beautiful News: Ashley Jones On Life After Divorce

Bridget Forrester is a medical doctor on The Bold and the Beautiful, but her portrayer, Ashley Jones, could easily have an off-screen career as a life coach. The actress recently shared on Instagram words of wisdom to aid others in life who are going through what she is.

Ashley Jones Has Amazing Advice

“This morning I received yet another message from someone going through a divorce,” Jones said, who revealed almost a year ago that she and her husband had split and that she had filed for divorce. “She asked how I was getting through mine with a smile on my face because she feels so sad and alone. That gutted me.

“I don’t often address this part of my life here, but if it makes others feel less alone, maybe it makes sense to do so?” the actress wrote, next to a pic of her and her son, Hayden, age 4. “I put on a smile on for this guy right here. And I try to be positive on this page. While these images, videos and ideas are fun to share and true experiences (like this one pictured last weekend on the beach💙), naturally they do not represent my WHOLE life.

“Last week marked one year that I’ve been going through this,” noted Jones. “And it’s not over. To those messaging me about divorce, abuse and being a single parent, I’m sorry if it seemed like we do not have the same issues, feelings and struggles. We do. NOTHING about this transition is easy – it’s financially and physically depleting – even paralyzing at moments. But I’m learning those moments do pass.

“Some days are better than others, but EVERY DAY we are one step closer to the other side💪🏼,” the actress concludes. “You are not alone. I’m rooting for you to come out stronger and wiser. And the community on this page will root for you. ‘Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.’” The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS. Check local listings for air times.
