EXCLUSIVE: Former TV anchor Rob Morrison back with wife after ‘choke’ rage

Rob Morrison and his wife, Ashley — whom he was accused of choking in a drunken rage last February — have reconciled, multiple sources tell Page Six.

The sources say the TV anchor couple has been seen spending time together almost every weekend lately with their 7-year-old son at the exclusive Greenwich Water Club, where they celebrated Ashley’s birthday last Saturday.

“They are there together almost every weekend and sometimes Friday when Ashley gets off work,” said one member. “They are still together.”

Another friend of Ashley’s said: “They’re trying to move forward. They’re working things out now that things have quieted down. I think this was a wake-up call [for Rob]. He does seem different from the time when everything went down. They seem pretty peaceful.”

Ironically, one member of the Connecticut club reports seeing Morrison, an ex-Marine, help a kid in the pool who got a bloody nose and “whose mom was confused as to what to do.” Morrison had blood trickling down his nose in a mug shot taken the night of the domestic incident.

Morrison, who resigned from CBS after being charged with strangling Ashley at their Darien home, made a plea agreement this month.

Sources said that under a Connecticut court ruling, “As long as Ashley is agreeable to spending time together, they can spend as much time together as they want.” The source said Morrison could even eventually be cleared to move back into the home they shared.

Several sources close to the couple told us that Ashley’s even been privately telling friends her husband didn’t physically assault her that night. “She told me that did not happen,” said one in the couple’s Connecticut enclave.

A friend of Morrison added, “Rob’s made a lot of mistakes. He still has a lot of work to do.” Another said, “[He] is carefully following the court- mandated therapy and is working hard to be a better husband.”

Reps for Morrison declined to comment. A CBS News rep didn’t get back to us.
