Personal Life

The duo dated for nearly six years, then spent a year apart before walking the aisle in 2011. Her mom announced on her website that she was pregnant with her in January 2015, and Ariah’s birth and homecoming were documented by several international tabloids such as the UK’s “Daily Mail.” In a 2016 interview with “People,” her mother stated that motherhood had given her a newfound gratefulness for life’s little things. – ‘They (Ariah and her brother) have taught me to be present and enjoy the most simple things in life…It gives me so much joy, especially as a busy mom, just bathing them, reading them a book, brushing our teeth together. They taught me how to have fun in the simplest moments.’
Housley’s very young to be involved in a romantic relationship with anyone. She’s very close with her brother, who made her a welcome video shortly after her birth.
