Ashley Benson<\/strong><\/a> and husband Brandon Davis<\/strong> put a life of carefree partying behind them after welcoming a daughter in February 2024 and a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> parenthood has completely changed their perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAshley\u2019s personality has changed since she became a mother,\u201d says a longtime collaborator of the Pretty Little Liars<\/em> alum, 35. \u201cEven though she and Brandon went into their partnership explicitly wanting to raise a family together, the turnaround since then has been surprising.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Ashley and her husband, 43, tied the knot in November 2023 after announcing their engagement earlier in July that year. The grandson of billionaire oil tycoon Marvin Davis<\/strong>, Brandon has been linked to actress Mischa Barton<\/strong> and was known to pal around with Paris Hilton<\/strong> in the mid 2000s, making him an ideal match for the Spring Breakers<\/em> actress, whose dating history includes G-Eazy<\/strong>, Cara Delevingne<\/strong>\u00a0and Chord Overstreet<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEverybody who knows them assumed that once they had a kid<\/a>, they would rely on an army of nannies and domestic help so that they could keep up their active social lives but that has not been the case and in relatively short order, they have evolved into serious, responsible and devoted parents,\u201d the insider continues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In an interview Ashley gave to Ladygunn<\/em> magazine while pregnant in January 2024, she said she knew, \u201cBeing a parent is gonna f\u2013king change everything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe person that I\u2019ve always wanted to be, I was becoming,\u201d she explained, discussing fist meeting and falling in love with Brandon. \u201cAnd I just wanted to just let that ride out and see where life takes me<\/a>. Which ironically is when I connected with Brandon.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The actress\u2019 laissez-faire approach to her life\u2019s journey has helped her discover a cozy domestic routine with her husband, the source notes. \u201cThis lifestyle suits them a lot better than chasing party after party and hanging out with people they\u2019ve been friends with since their early twenties.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMaybe the change with Brandon has been more noticeable because he was such a mad man about the partying for so many years,\u201d the insider continues, \u201cbut Ashley has turned everything in her life around to be a mom, and the only thing people are wondering is, why didn\u2019t do this years ago?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On her daughter\u2019s first birthday, Ashley posted, \u201cOne year of being your mommy From the moment you came into my life, everything changed in the most beautiful way,\u201d alongside a series of cute pics via Instagram<\/a>. \u201cYour smile is infectious and your little spunky personality makes me laugh every single day,\u201d she continued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI have never loved anything as much as I love you. Waking up to you every day is the best gift I have ever received. My forever best friend and my little girl. Happy birthday my sweet Aspen, forever and always, your mommy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The source adds that for the new parents, \u201cIt\u2019s been an extreme change all around,\u201d but definitely \u201ca welcome one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
