Ashley and Sharon are notoriously tight-lipped about their relationship and have made a conscious effort to keep their one-year-old son out of the spotlight.
However, earlier this year Ashley shared his feelings about parenting as he took to Twitter.
His son turned one in March, and the footballer marked the opportunity with a gushing paragraph about the joys of fatherhood, which he posted to Twitter.
