During the episode, Reid candidly discussed the challenges of managing a love life while maintaining a career in pornography.In a conversation about her dating experiences, Reid expressed the difficulties she faced: “Dating was really hard.”

She further elaborated on how her established persona in the adult film industry influenced her relationships, stating:”Especially as I grew a name for myself, it was hard to meet someone who [didn’t] know who I was. And so, there was always that, like, fandom.”

“They met me first in their mind as Riley, so it was really hard to like reverse and teach them that I’m Ashley.”Reid’s reflections followed her previous revelations on the Impaulsive podcast, where she recounted how a past relationship made her question her self-worth and career choices due to her partner’s negative perceptions of her profession.

“He made me feel like maybe I should quit and stuff,” she disclosed.

Despite these challenges, Reid didn’t abandon her career but instead chose to take it in a new direction by discontinuing her participation in adult content with male co-stars.”It was a choice I made on my own but I made that choice because I was lonely and I wanted love and affection and stuff,” she explained.

Reid believed that continuing her previous path in the industry would hinder her from finding the love and companionship she longed for, leading her to exclude those types of scenes from her work altogether.”I’ve dated guys that were like ‘Me or porn?’ and I was like, ‘porn never gave me this ultimatum, so I choose that’,” she firmly stated.

Now, Reid is happily married to Pasha Petkuns, and together they are raising their daughter, Emma. Reid often speaks fondly of Petkuns, describing him as an ‘amazing husband’.In a heartfelt Instagram post, she praised him, saying, “You’re so present in every moment with both of us and I am so happy to spend everyday with you.”
