She descends from William Brewster (10th great-grandfather)
I’ve stopped adding William Brewster descendants. There must be at least 100 on this site alone.
100? don’t exagerate. What about Wahlberg/Morrisette genealogical relationship?
It’s proof I should have never added Huston and Gore, much less Eastwood and McClanahan.
And that’s not an exaggeration.

Her Italian genes are the more dominant, that’s why she’s very pretty & is ageing well. I know some one will have a bf, but be honest with yourself, who ages better between Italians & British/ Irish (or Northern Europeans on general)?
I’ve seen plenty of haggard looking older Italians and plenty of youthful looking older Northern Europeans. I’m not sure where you’re coming from. Oh, and Ashley’s face is full of fillers, maybe that’s why she looks younger (not that she looks much younger).
You’re full of shit. It’s a known fact that Italians sge better than northern Europeans they even have a longer life span. Youthful looking Nordics? Like who? Wayne Rooney?
Anni-Frid Lyngstad looks better than this chick, and she’s almost 20 years her senior. And Swiss people have the longest life spans in Europe. Must be the cheese, chocolate and fresh Alpine air.
Anni-Frid does not look better. She looks her age. Nothing wrong with that, but saying she looks better is delusional.
who ages better than Italians? Okay, agreed.
who ages better than Irish/British? LOL so many of them look 40 when they’re 25, and so many, particularly women, look 60 when they’re in their 40s. They also die early and sick
What a load of shit. You’ve clearly never even been to Britain. I’ve lived in Britain my entire life and I’ve never known a 40-something year old woman look 60. Some British women are known to fake tan and have lip injections. That isn’t ageing. That’s reversible cosmetic stuff.
People love to stereotype about other countries. It’s so stupid.
Oh and if any Brits she barely, it’s the men for never wearing sunscreen (and yes, sunny weather does occur in Britain, before you stereotype yet again).
age poorly**
