Robyn Dixon Shares a Big Update on Juan Dixon and Michael Darby's Friendship

Robyn exited The Real Housewives of Potomac after Season 8 wrapped back in the spring of 2024, and she revealed on the February 2 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that Juan's friendship with Michael did not last beyond the show.

"Are Juan and Michael Darby still good buddies?" Andy Cohen asked on the WWHL episode.

"No," Robyn responded before laughing. "No!"

Viewers previously saw Michael and Juan develop a unique friendship as their wives navigated RHOP together. "They're cool. Michael and Juan have a great relationship," Robyn said on an episode of WWHL in 2019. "They're buddy-buddies." 

Juan and Michael were friendly, but they didn't spend much time together outside of the show. "But, I mean, they don't hang out," Robyn clarified at the time. "They've never hung out alone."

Robyn Dixon reacts to Ashley Darby finalizing her divorce from Michael Darby

After revealing the status of Michael's friendship with her husband, Robyn weighed in on the news that Ashley finalized her divorce in November 2024.

"It's about time!" Robyn said on WWHL about her pal's split, which was first announced in April 2022. "I would be surprised if it was still going on, so it's about time."

Ashley herself opened up about the "bittersweet" conclusion of her marriage in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish in the fall.

"Signing divorce papers is bittersweet. My friend put it this way: leaving a marriage is like leaving a house you’ve created memories in for years," Ashley, who shares sons Dean Michael Darby and Dylan Matthew Darby with Michael said. "Just before you close the door for the last time, you think back on all the incredible things you created together like your children and lasting memories, and then you just have to close the door and move on."

Ashley went on to acknowledge that while she was "very excited" to officially be single after a two year separation, she will always feel a connection to her now-ex.

"Even though I’m not romantically invested in Michael, he will always have a very special place in my heart. It’s a love I can’t even begin to explain, especially sharing our two amazing sons, Dean and Dylan," she concluded. "I’m incredibly inspired by my future — cheers to more healing, thriving, and twerking!"
