    Josh Gibson has reportedly split from his wife Ashley Bright after a year of marriage.

    The former AFL star, 40, first sparked rumors of a rift when he apparently deleted photos of their March 2023 wedding from his social media.

    The couple sparked further speculation of a divorce when they were spotted viewing separate properties, according to the Herald Sun.

    Their wedding photos seemingly no longer appear on Josh’s Instagram, with those of their son Brody, two, in a tuxedo remaining the only evidence of the big day.

    The same photos of Brody also remain on Ashley’s page, while she also reshared one in February, alongside the poignant caption: “Everything I ever needed.”

    “I never thought I would find the love and fulfillment that has happened to 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’m so looking forward to the next chapter of our lives.

    “I really hope that the next chapter we write involves a child who actually sleeps through the night because we can’t have a Brody 2.0.”
