It’s another boy for Real Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby. 

The 32-year-old reality star shared the gender reveal video for her second child in a sweet new Instagram post on Thursday.

Ashley actually managed to surprise her husband, Michael Darby, 75, with the news they’re having a baby boy during his picturesque bike ride through Washington D.C..

‘Michael has lived in Washington DC for almost 30 years, but this is a bike ride different than any one he’s taken before,’ Ashley captioned her special video.

The video sees the Australian political operative on his daily bike ride through the National Mall.

Michael then travels a ways and turns down a path leading into the woods where his wife and son are waiting under a large blue banner that reads ‘It’s a boy.’

Ashley announced her pregnancy back in September. The new baby will make four as she and Michael are already parents to their 16-month-old son Dean Michael. 

The couple has had a bit of a rocky time in their marriage recently, which has all been played out for the RHOP cameras.  

Earlier in the season, co-stars Candiace Dillard Bassett and Gizelle Bryant came forth with text messages that alleged that Michael was with several strippers, telling people he had a wife and a boyfriend, and apparently trying to hook up, despite being married.

Michael explained to his wife that he and his friends had been talking to some women at a strip club, before one of the ladies offered to go to a hotel with him.

‘Michael said, “I was so drunk, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, she was laying in the bed next to me,”‘ Ashley recalled.

‘Then when Michael gets out of bed to check the time, she snapped a picture of him from behind at the dresser and gave it to a blog.’

Ashley later gave him an ultimatum, effectively ending the blurred lines of their marriage. She explained while they had had romances in the past with other people, she no longer wanted to do that.

She also said if she found news about his other dalliances, it would be ‘catastrophic for our relationship.’

Later, Ashley asked her husband of six years for a post-nuptial agreement now that their pre-nup had expired.  

‘Michael and I had a pre-nuptial agreement that expired after five years of marriage,’ Ashley explains. ‘Now, in the event of a divorce, I will receive fifty percent of our assets.’

‘And now, I think it would be good for us to have a post-nuptial agreement because post-nup would outline things that are guaranteed to get, no arguing, no disputing, and essentially would speed up the process in the event of a divorce.’ 

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sunday nights on Bravo.
