Chicago Fire star Taylor Kinney's girlfriend Ashley Cruger has hit back at social media trolls who criticized her relationship with the actor.
Taking to her Instagram Stories with a video addressed to her followers, the model began: "Sometimes I see comments, sometimes I don't. It doesn't matter either way. Today, someone said he's only with me because I'm good in bed."
Sharing her witty response to the haters, she continued: "Babe, that's what you're telling people? That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Just from looking at me, you got that? You're invited to my wedding. It's giving bridesmaid energy, maybe flower girl."
In a separate post, Ashley acknowledged the positive messages she receives from fans, writing: "No, I'm not gonna make hate comments my whole personality. People are also/usually really really sweet and kind."
Who is Taylor Kinney's girlfriend Ashley Cruger?
Taylor Kinney's girlfriend is model and actress Ashley Cruger.
While not much is known about their relationship and how they met, the couple made their first public appearance together in April last year while attending Operation Smile's 2022 Park City Ski Challenge in Utah.
Ashley and Taylor, 42, first made their relationship Instagram official in March last year, when Taylor posted a photo of his other half looking down the camera lens while getting a manicure at a nail salon.
Although the lovebirds tend to keep details of their romance private, Ashley often shares photos of the pair on social media. Back in April, the model posted a picture of the two of them looking super loved up while celebrating the Easter holidays.
Then in August, she shared a photo that showed the couple enjoying a meal out with some pals at a rustic-looking restaurant.
Ashley also made a cameo in the season 11 premiere of Chicago Fire. During a scene that took place in Molly's pub toward the end of the episode, the actress can be seen raising her glass with some firefighters.

In his final episode, Taylor's character, Lieutenant Kelly Severide, packed his bags and left the Windy City for a prestigious OFI training camp in Alabama.
In a later edition of the show, it was revealed that Severide had left the camp to investigate a major arson case but failed to inform his wife, Stella Kidd, nor his team back at Firehouse 51.
While we don't know exactly when Taylor will return to the show, we do know that season 12 has been pushed back due to the ongoing strike organized by SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America.
