Ashley James: Solo Trip, Religion, & Parenting

0:00It's April 8th. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI, your front row to the latest buzz. I'm Cory with the story. Ashley James, the 39-year-old, this morning host, just wrapped up a solo getaway to Tulum, Mexico, calling it the perfect reset from her, packed work, and family life. She posted a bunch of beach pics and colorful swimsuits from two spots. The peaceful Via pescadoras, tucked in a national park, and the livelier a how, resort right in town. She spent the week reading, eating well, waking up on her own time, and just chilling without a schedule. As an Ambervert, she loves that alone time to recharge, especially since day-to-day life leaves little room for it. Earlier this week, she admitted missing her four-year-old son Alfie and three-year-old daughter Ada, big time, but the break left her excited to dive. Back into work, and parenting at full strength. This trip post dropped right after her Easter Sunday Instagram stirred up heat.

1:02She shared a Bible verse sarcastically, slamming how some folks twist religion to back wars, control women, and prop up leaders like Trump, who got it. Compared to Jesus by supporters, critics hid back hard, accusing her of mocking faith on a holy day, and spreading misinformation. Plenty of comments questioned her solo trip, too, labeling itself-ish for a mom to jet off without the kids. But Ashley pushed back, saying it makes her a better parent, filling her own cup so she can pour into her family. She pointed out dads get no side eye for the same thing, and solo travel helped her find real happiness back in her 20s. Now refreshed, she's heading home to give her babies and job 100%, reminding all parents it's okay to prioritize a little self-care, without the guilt.
