Aspyn Ovard revealed that her ex-husband, Parker Ferris, hid his alcohol consumption behind her back for 10 years before they separated.

“He went through so much to hide it from me, and the fact that my husband — who was supposed to be the safest person — would do that to me,” Ovard, 30, continued.

“For him to know what alcoholism did to my family — to find all of this out two months after my dad died from alcoholism — hurt so bad.”

The influencer told viewers that when she and Ferris, 31, tied the knot in 2015, she thought they “were on the same page about where [they] stood with drinking and smoking.”

“My dad struggled with alcoholism, so the only version of him that I knew was some level of intoxicated,” Ovard continued.

The reality star-turned-media personality explained how the sound of her late father’s “work boots was a dark cloud over the house” when he came home.

In a separate confessional, Ferris confirmed his now-ex-wife warned him they would separate if he ever touched a bottle.

“There were a few times during our marriage that I’d be like, ‘Hey, let’s experiment. Let’s try a drink,’” he said. “And she would tell me, ‘If you ever drink, we are getting divorced.’”

Ferris explained he chose to drink because it was “fun.”

Ovard filed for divorce from Ferris on April 1, 2024, the same day they welcomed their daughter Elle, now 2.

At the time, Ovard didn’t share what led to their split. The exes are also the parents of Cove, 7, and Lola, 5.

During Thursday’s episode, Ovard vulnerably shared that one of her daughters was battling terminal cancer.

“Everything happened just so out of nowhere. One day she was OK and the next day she wasn’t,” she told viewers. “You can’t fathom they’re actually gonna tell you that your baby has cancer, and that it’s terminal and she could be gone in a month.”

Ovard, meanwhile, has since moved on and is now in a throuple with her partners Bri and Billy Davis, after meeting Bri on social media in 2025.
