Ashley was completely devastated by Jay's cheating, and was considering divorcing him and ending their brief marriage. Jay insisted he had made a mistake and would be willing to spend the rest of his life making it up to her, and also reminded Ashley that he never physically cheated on her with another woman.

Ashley was torn because she really loved Jay, but their trust was broken. She was angry, hurt and didn't know what to do or how they could move on together. Ashley admitted it "would be a serious road to recovery" for them.

Part 1 of 90 Day Fiance's sixth-season reunion special will air Sunday night on TLC, but since it was filmed in mid-November, what viewers see on TV may not accurately depict the status of each Season 6 couple's relationship now.

So what's the current status of Ashley Martson and Jay Smith's relationship? Are they still married and still together?

Unfortunately, fans of this couple will be disappointed to find out that while Ashley has declined to directly confirm their current status, Ashley and Jay's recent social-media activity seems to indicate they split just before Christmas.

Speculation that Ashley and Jay may have suddenly split began swirling on December 22 after Ashley posted a cryptic Instagram Stories photo about not being able to "fake" things anymore and 90 Day Fiance fans noticed she had also deleted all of her photos of Jay from her Instagram account.

"You can only fake that things everything is ok for so long. Then you just hit that point... - ME!!!!!" the Instagram Stories posting stated.

In addition, fans also noticed Ashley and Jay were no longer following each other on Instagram. Jay also subsequently scrubbed his Instagram account of any photos of Ashley.

Prior to Ashley's December 22 posting, Ashley and Jay's social media postings had regularly featured each other and made it clear that they were still together and living in Ashley's home in Mechanicsburg, PA.

Ashley was hospitalized due to lupus twice in December

In early December, Ashley had revealed she had recently been hospitalized but was now home and doing better.

"Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. Your kind words are what is helping me get through this trying time. Truly appreciate each of you!" she wrote in an Instagram Story.

"I'm finally home and on the mend! Thanks again for everyone's support."

Ashley didn't dive into the details of her illness or condition, although she had previously shared that she suffers from lupus, a chronic autoimmune disorder.

But Jay had seemingly confirmed Ashley's hospitalization was due to her ongoing battle with lupus when he posted two photos showing Ashley sleeping in a hospital bed.

"I promise I will always be there for you through all the ups and downs, no matter what happens. Love you babe girl get well soon #lupus #getwellsoon #staystrong," he captioned the images.

However, a few days after her cryptic December 22 posting that alluded to a split with Jay, Ashley had posted several more Instagram Stories in which she revealed she had been re-hospitalized due to lupus and spent Christmas in the hospital.

"If I could ask Santa for one gift it would be Good Health. Being admitted on Christmas Eve and missing Christmas morning with my children is the worst," she wrote in an Instagram Story posting.

"My strength is beginning to run out but God's strength will pull me through."

Although he didn't confirm where he was, Jay had also subsequently posted an Instagram Story showing him sitting in a hospital room 90 Day Fiance fans presumed was Ashley's.

However, Jay had urged viewers to stop speculating about his life in an Instagram Stories posting on December 29.

"Stop act like y'all know my life," he wrote.

Jay suggested he's moving out of Ashley's home

On December 30, Jay shared a link to a newly-created GoFundMe account that was looking to raise $5,000 to "help me get and my feet an a place to stay."

The GoFundMe account had only raised $5 from a single contributor several hours after it was created, and was later removed.

According to 90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates, Jay also briefly posted an Instagram photo showing Ashley talking with a police officer outside what appeared to be her home.

"Okay Ashley call the cops... guess it's time to leave now," the 90 Day Fiance star captioned the photo, which he subsequently deleted.

Ashley later posted an Instagram Story claiming the GoFundMe was a scam and Jay had only shared the link to it "to be a smartass."

"I Spoke with Jay and neither one of us has a go fund me... he just reposted it to be a smartass! I can't watch people send money to someone scamming them," Ashley wrote.

What's Ashley's status now?

Ashley was released from the hospital after Christmas and returned home.

On December 29, she posted an Instagram Stories posting of a photo of fellow 90 Day Fiance cast member Kalani Faagata.

"This show has been beyond stressful and at times I wonder what I was thinking. However, meeting this beauty was godsend," Ashley wrote on the photo.


"Please don't ever stop being the amazing person you are! I'm so glad I get to ride this crazy rollercoaster with you as a friend!"

"Plus chatting late night about how much we hate most people on social media and want to throat punch them is all the therapy I need for this train wreck we signed up for... Love ya, Girl," she concluded.

Ashley clarified where and when she actually married Jay

On January 3, Ashley also clarified when and where her wedding to Jay took place.

While 90 Day Fiance's sixth season showed the couple canceling their big local wedding and deciding to elope in Las Vegas, a marriage certificate could not be found in Nevada records.

In addition, photos had surfaced online from what appeared to be a wedding ceremony showing Ashley and Jay posing with the ocean and palm trees in the background -- a setting which certainly didn't look like the Las Vegas landscape.

"I know there are some rumors, so I spoke with TLC they would like me to clarify: We scheduled our original wedding on the 88th day after Jay arrived to America," Ashley wrote January 3 on Instagram, sharing a copy of her marriage license.

"Due to canceling our original wedding plans so last minute (as you saw on the show during the wedding registry incident) and having my kids that weekend, we could not go to Vegas before the 90 days were up."

As 90 Day Fiance viewers saw, the "wedding registry incident" was when the couple's wedding website was allegedly bombarded with racist comments about their interracial union and threats of violence.

Fearing for their safety, Ashley decided to marry Jay -- whose formal first name is Conroy -- in private, in a way where no one could ruin their special day.

"Jay and I went to City Hall in Harrisburg, PA, said our vows, then flew out to Vegas for an actual ceremony a week later," Ashley continued in her post.

"This is why no one can find a public certificate in the Vegas records. I hope this gives you all some clarification! Please don't mind my kids juice box spill on the certificate! #momlife #married #90dayfiance #tlc #receipts."

Ashley's marriage certificate reads that "on May 16, 2018, at Upper Allen Township Conroy St Christopher Smith and Ashley Elizabeth Martson were by [retired district justice Ronald E. Klair] united in marriage, in accordance with the license issued by the Clerk of the Orphans' Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania."

As for the photos that appeared to show the couple getting married a tropical wedding, Jay also previously posted an Instagram explanation that the pair participated in a 2017 commitment ceremony in his native country of Jamaica so his family and friends could attend.

The ceremony, however, was more of a spiritual and emotional event, not a legally-binding marriage.
