Ashton has transformed the life of his fly-in fly-out truck-driver mum, 39, who found fame on Married At First Sight last year.
“I never imagined I’d be anyone’s mummy,” giggles Susan, who “married” Sean Hollands on national TV, then decided it wouldn’t work because he was into calf roping and bull riding, and she was opposed to using animals for human entertainment.
Ashton was born on March 24th, 2018.
The adorable bub weighed 3.35kg.
“From the moment Ashton was born, I loved him selflessly and unconditionally.”
“I can’t imagine going back to my old life now, because I need to be here full-time to watch every new smile and milestone.”
