Well, you might be wondering about the other two children of Michael. Besides his kids with Ashley, Michael was the father of two sons from his previous marriage.

The Australian-American real estate mogul and his first wife shared a daughter and a son. Given that his first marriage, which lasted for twenty years, ended in 2010, Michael’s kids from his first wife are probably in their twenties.

As his adult children and his former wife maintain a private life away from the public eye, the media has not been able to crack into their personal life.

Moreover, Ashley does not seem to have a close bond with her stepchildren as she is not seen mentioning them at any instance, nor has she ever posted about them on her socials.

Regardless of his not-so-known relationship with his children from his first marriage, Michael shares a very close bond with two little sons from his latter marriage.

Ashley does not miss a chance to share the father-son adorable moments through her Instagram. Sharing a series of pictures showcasing Michael’s bonding time with his sons, Ashley took to her ‘gram to share her gratitude towards Michael for being an extraordinary father and a loving husband writing,

There’s no one else I’d want to be on this amazing adventure with. Thank you for being a stellar dad and wonderful life partner. 

Having experienced marriage and fatherhood before, taking care of his two young kids might not be much of a hassle for the entrepreneur.
