In a post shared on TikTok on 26 May, Ashley effusively praised Rogan’s involvement, declaring it “probably the hottest thing” he has ever done. She referred to the experience as a “huge green flag,” highlighting how their shared experience of childbirth has solidified their relationship. The video, which has since gained viral attention, focused not only on the miraculous nature of childbirth but also on the strength of their partnership.

“I understand that many men might find childbirth daunting or less than appealing, so Rogan’s eagerness to engage in such a significant moment for our family really stood out,” she told PEOPLE. Ashley noted that while some viewers suggested she deserved all the credit for delivery, the couple holds a firm belief in teamwork throughout their relationship.

Prior to the baby’s arrival, Ashley had lightheartedly discussed the possibility of Rogan catching their child. “A few weeks before we welcomed our daughter, I jokingly asked him if he would want to catch her if given the chance,” she explained. When the moment came, the couple was astonished to learn that the doctor offered Rogan the opportunity to assist in the delivery, a rarity that they had never encountered before.
As Rogan aided in the delivery, he played an active role by following the doctor’s guidance to help navigate their baby through the final stages of birth. Ashley expressed her excitement at the opportunity for her husband to be the first to hold their daughter, marking a significant moment in their lives as a family.
Beyond the act of delivery, Rogan took the initiative to capture the moment with photographs of Ashley and their newborn. Ashley observed that many mothers often miss out on being in pictures during such milestones, as they tend to be behind the camera. “I think many mothers relate to having a camera roll filled with images where they’re rarely featured,” she said. “While giving birth is unforgettable, I’ve aimed to document these precious moments not just for me, but for our children to cherish in the future.”
The images taken during this intimate occasion have gained importance over time, and Ashley hopes that as their daughter grows, she will recognise the extraordinary circumstances surrounding her birth. “I want her to feel honoured knowing her father delivered her,” Ashley expressed, reflecting the pride they both share in the experience.
Though initially hesitant to post such a deeply personal moment online, Ashley later recognised the value of sharing it. Despite viewing childbirth as a sacred experience, she received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback that reaffirmed her decision to showcase their memory. “I was a bit apprehensive about sharing this as birth is such a personal event, but the response was heartening,” she shared.
Ashley concluded by emphasising how the bond between her and Rogan has been enriched through this unique experience, reiterating that it’s a memory she intends to treasure for years to come. “This is a moment I’ll reflect on fondly in my old age, and I will hold it dear for the rest of my life,” she said. The couple’s journey through childbirth has transformed not just their family dynamic, but also their personal connection, creating a lasting legacy for the years ahead.
