They've been dating since 2013.

Ashley – who previously dated Joe Jonas - recently revealed she wants to start a family with Paul but hopes to enjoy being a married couple first before she gets pregnant.

She said: 'No more than three (kids). Probably two. I'm the opposite of my mom - she had us really young, and now she and my dad are able to have fun. I want to get married, enjoy that, and then when I'm ready to completely give myself to my kids, I will. But I'm a little too selfish still.'
