What About His Personal Life?
Ashely Banjo proposed to his partner, Francesca Abbot, back in October 2014. Abbot is also a dancer and part of the dance troupe Out Of The Shadows. Getting married in July 2015, we can only imagine how impressive their first dance was!
On the day, Ashley’s brother Jordan (who is also a member of Diversity) was the best man. Posting about his speech, Jordan said:
“This is a moment that I’ll never forget. He’s got my back in a way that only brothers understand. And I’ll always be there for him no matter what.”

Together, the couple have two children; Rose Adura who was born on 21 February 2019 and Micah Grace who was born on 27 Marc 2020.
After giving birth at a central London hospital, the couple decided to isolate for a week away from their oldest daughter in order to prevent spreading the virus.
The dancer explained:
“We couldn’t risk bringing the virus home and all of us getting ill at once whilst Chess is still in recovery.”
The family are now all back together.
