The 34-year-old star has confessed having kids is never something she and her former Pussycat Dolls bandmates - Kimberly, Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton - ever discussed but now that her friend has 12-month-old daughter Willow with husband Max Stone, she's feeling a bit broody.

Ashley exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I don't remember having conversations about wanting kids but I think it's each to their own, whoever wants to get married and have kids, that's their route and path but I don't think it was ever really a big topic of conversation.

"Kim's the first one and I'm absolutely obsessed with Willow. I love her so much, she's a beautiful child."

The blonde beauty added that while she's focusing on herself at the moment, if she were to fall in love with the right man she would definitely consider having kids of her own.

She explained: "I'm always going to be a girl that enjoys working because I love my job but I'm definitely open for a relationship but I just haven't met the right person yet."

While Ashley and Kimberly share a special relationship, she tries to keep in touch with the other girls from the band as well.

She added: "I'm cool and close with the girls but Kim and I, we were friends even before we got in the group, she's my sister.

"I've bumped into Nicole a few times but I think everybody just gets on such crazy schedules so I haven't seen her as much as Kim but I see here every now and again when she pops in to say hi."
