He is a father to two children with the MBFFL star, and also a fiance to Ashley. When Whitney helped hold Ashley&#8217;s leg during her first childbirth, Eric had decided he didn&#8217;t want to be on camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He drove Ashley to the hospital after her waters broke the first time, but he was asleep when it first happened. He let Whitney take the reins when it came to helping her deliver the baby. Whitney said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Ashley&#8217;s boyfriend Eric is here and I&#8217;m sure this is all too much for him, and he didn&#8217;t want to be on camera. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s just like, &#8216;This is too much.&#8217; Her boyfriend is with her and I don&#8217;t want to hover with her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitney also gave the couple space. Ashley occasionally speaks about Eric, claiming that when she was told to give birth, she thought she had around an hour to chat with her other half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>GET TO KNOW: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/whats-on\/who-is-ryan-on-my-big-fat-fabulous-life\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Who is Ryan on My Big Fat Fabulous Life?

He doesn&#8217;t want to be part of the TLC series, but during their relationship, made Whitney&#8217;s bestie his fiancee. They now live together as a family-of-four with two children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they welcomed their first child into the world, they were just boyfriend and girlfriend. Now that their eldest daughter Harper is three, this means they would have got engaged in the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-facebook wp-block-embed-facebook\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AshDanBay\/posts\/10108930927042529\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-they-welcome-baby-no-2\">They welcome baby no 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashley and Eric&#8217;s new baby&#8217;s name is August Daniel\u00a0Hadley, their first boy and second child together.
