AFL great Josh Gibson and Ashley Bright have removed their wedding photos from their main Instagram pages as reports surface that the couple have separated.
The pair went public with their relationship in 2020 and had a child in 2021 … and last year tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony at a winery in Victoria’s Yarra Valley in March.
But it appears, a year on, the relationship has ended, with the Herald Sun reporting that Bright has bought a new place in Ballarat, and Gibson is also looking for a new dwelling.

The wedding pics, once prominent on Gibson’s social media, are also nowhere to be seen.
Gibson, who left North Melbourne at the end of 2009 to enjoy a spectacular career at Hawthorn, is considered one of the greatest defenders of his generation.
He is a three-time premiership player, a two-time best-and-fairest winner (in premiership years), and an All-Australian.
He was emotional during his wedding and spoke about his “perfect” life and family with Bright.
“I never imagined finding the love and fulfilment that has come across me since you came into my world,” Gibson said.
“Being married to you is perfect. Having a family with you is perfect.
“I am so looking forward to the next chapter of our life.
“I really hope the next chapter we write, though, involves a child that actually sleeps through the night because we can’t have a Brody 2.0.”
Bright is a former ballet teacher and radiation therapist.
Gibson proposed to her in August of 2022.
Since retiring from AFL at the end of 2017, Gibson has done a variety roles in the media and worked in television.
He has embraced farm life and regularly posts pictures of himself riding horses.
