In one photo, Jay, 20, was smiling and holding a painted caricature of the couple with production surrounding him.
However, Ashley, 31, has confirmed those pictures were not recent.
"Those photos were throwbacks from filming 90 Day Fiance," Ashley told In Touch Weekly.
"Other networks have asked us to participate but at this point my main focus [is] on my family and health."
Ashley, who suffers from lupus and has been hospitalized numerous times in recent months, starred on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance with Jay, who moved to America from Jamaica for love.
Ashley and Jay became fan-favorites on the series, but their relationship appeared to fall apart when Ashley caught Jay with a profile on Tinder and nearly dumped him for trying to flirt and potentially hook up with other women.
However, Ashley and Jay were later accused of scamming their fans, leaking their own personal stories for publicity, and staging a lot of the problems in their relationship.
Ashley confirmed to RadarOnline in February that she and Jay filmed scenes for the upcoming fourth season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? but decided to "quit the show."

"The final straw was when our story started to become inconsistent because of what we were being asked to hide and not tell followers," Ashley said at the time.

Ashley said while she and Jay led fans to believe they broke up in December 2018, they never actually separated after getting married.
The fact Ashley and Jay were faking their split was huge news since Ashley went as far as filing for divorce in mid-January, although she withdrew the paperwork in court days later.
"I stayed by his side after the Tinder scandal. They wanted us to keep everything private and say we weren't together, but when people were seeing us out they thought we were lying. We never confirmed or denied our relationship status," Ashley explained.
Ashley therefore blamed the show for having "ruined" the credibility of her marriage to Jay.

"We want our old life back. We're over being celebrities. We want to go back to our lives and focus on our relationship... We will continue to work on our brand. We have a pajama and underwear line coming," Ashley revealed to the website.
