During the podcast, Michael asked Aaron about the toughest time in his life, and he opened up about their decision to split up during COVID.
“You know, COVID was a really tough time,” he recalled. “We had a brand new baby, my dad got stuck home with a 3-year-old and a newborn, and my dad got ill over that time period and passed away. And then eight months after that, my wife and I decided to split up.”
“I was grieving my dad and then my marriage dissolved and stuff,” Aaron continued, adding, “There was about a two and a half year period that was just like … the hits just kept coming, man.”
Aaron said that before they split for good, they did try going to couple’s therapy, and he also went to therapy on his own.
“We were actually in therapy for our merit. My ex is a therapist so there was always a lot of encouragement to do therapy, and so we did. We did our due diligence for our relationship and our marriage,” he said, noting they did therapy together for a year before splitting.
Aaron and Zoe were married in 2014 and have two daughters together, Esme and Margot.
Aaron, whose twin brother Shawn Ashmore is also an actor, can currently be seen on the series Skymed. His other credits include Locke & Key, Killjoys, Designated Survivor, Warehouse 13, and movies like Wish Upon a Christmas, Santa’s Squad, Pretty Cheaters, Deadly Lies, Cider and Sunsets, Suze and more.
