She grew up in a family of performing artists: she is the daughter of country music singer Naomi Judd and the half-sister of country music singer Wynonna Judd. Franchitti has since married Eleanor Robb, an Englishwoman. They have two daughters: Sofia born November and Valentina born February In , after selling more than 20 million albums and videos in seven years and at the pinnacle of their career, the Judds came to an abrupt end when Naomi Judd was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Judd shared several indications that her recovery is now looking very good.
For instance, she recently hit a milestone in her knee mobility and expects to be walking again soon. I can nearly reach my knee as you see in one picture. Not a singer, she was left with her father during the school year. Judd, the star of "Double Jeopardy," writes of abuse at the hands of numerous men, including an unnamed family member. She also writes that she was exposed early and inappropriately to sex because of her mother's affairs with men.
She was left alone so much with her mother and sister touring the country to make it. Something suffers and it was Ashley's childhood.
This family has had so much tragedy, one by one. It's an amazing kind of cautionary tale about when you chase fame. All of America thinks I want to be famous. They have it all. But there are pitfalls to super stardom. Ashley's mother struggled to raise two girls on her nurse's salary before she took up a career as a singer. She and Wynonna reportedly wore second-hand clothes and occasionally lived without electricity or indoor plumbing in poor, rural Kentucky.
Naomi Judd, now 65, was the daughter of a Kentucky gas station owner and a riverboat cook. She was abandoned by her boyfriend Charles Jordan, the father of her first daughter, Wynonna, who was born in Naomi was only 18 at the time.
Naomi called in to Watch What Happens Live last week, saying that while Ashley was "healing," it was "really hard to see her" in her condition. And caring for Ashley has been a family affair, as Wynonna, 56, recently told Page Six she had to look up "how to wash hair for someone who's lying down in bed" after her sister texted her the request.
The country singer joked, "Therein lies the job of a big sister right there. Last month, Ashley underwent a hour rescue to bring her from the DRC to South Africa after she suffered nerve damage, internal bleeding and a shattered leg broken in four spots when she tripped over a fallen tree on a visit to the DRC to see endangered bonobos monkeys.
She has since been recovering in the U. The Double Jeopardy actress gave an update on her physical and mental health in a candid Instagram post earlier this month, beginning, "I do not understand why what has happened has happened.
I do understand I have been loved and helped enormously. I understand nights are a savage agony.
