Little Isaac is the first child for Graham and her husband of a decade – Down a Dark Stairwell DP Justin Ervin – whom she originally met in church.
The Etro catwalker revealed she’s been suffering from first-time motherhood night terrors to Red Table Talk host Jada Pinkett Smith on this coming Tuesday’s episode of her Facebook Watch series.
‘So now that I have Isaac sleep trained, I put him down at 8 and I go to sleep, but usually in the hours between 12:30 and about 4 o’clock in the morning, I have what my husband is calling these night terrors,’ Ashley said in the teaser.
‘And in my sleep, I am hunting for my child. I’m like, “Where is Isaac? Where is he?” I’m looking under the bed, I’m flipping my husband upside down, I’m turning on the lights. It is happening almost every single night. What is that?’
