THE RECKLESS PARTY AT "AFTER" FOLLOWING THEIR FINAL SHOW IN VANCOUVER
By Ravennah Hollow, July 2023
The band’s final show took place last night in Vancouver. The group of musicians was spotted at a local club, appearing to have a great time.
In recent months, Jared McAvoy has been regarded as one of the best talent scouts in the American industry, thanks to his discovery of the five reckless boys who hail from a quiet town called Humperville.
A little over a year ago, the keyboardist of The Reckless confirmed being in a romantic relationship with the talent manager’s daughter. It’s unclear how long they’ve been together or whether they have Jared’s blessing, but they appear to be a happy couple, sharing affectionate posts on their social media.
The Reckless has skyrocketed in the music industry, drawing a lot of attention to the group. They’ve openly admitted that they are still getting used to the constant spotlight from countless TV stations, magazines, newspapers, and news sites. However, giving attention to their fans doesn’t seem to be a problem for them.
It’s been reported that during their final show, not only did the band stop to chat, take photos, and sign autographs for their fans—known as Recklovers—but they also arranged for pizzas to be served to those waiting outside. This thoughtful gesture has only strengthened the admiration and love their fans have for them.
After delivering a spectacular performance at the Orpheum Theatre, the group headed to a small celebration with their team at a club.
Fans claim to have spotted the bassist, Ashton Baker, leaving the venue accompanied, which, of course, caused an internet frenzy.

THE RECKLESS BASSIST CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY WITH FRIENDS AT A NEW YORK CITY RESTAURANT AND IS SPOTTED WITH A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
By Ravennah Hollow, July 2023
Last night, Ashton Baker was photographed by paparazzi while having dinner with Bryan, Aidan, Chase, Finnick, and other friends at Per Se.
Caught kissing a mysterious blonde, Ashton refused to comment on his relationship with the woman. However, it is known that she is a close friend of the group.
Also present were the girlfriends of the other band members—Mackenzie, Delilah, and Theresa. The rock star’s social media accounts exploded with comments—some not so kind—and it’s clear that fans are not thrilled about this rumored relationship. However, the bassist seems to be a laid-back guy. In interviews, he has stated that he isn’t interested in serious relationships right now, as he wants to fully enjoy this phase of life with his friends. Enjoy it, Ashton, but in moderation!
Meanwhile, it’s evident that the band has been working tirelessly to promote their album Chaotic, including a nearly four-month-long tour.
Before heading back to their hometown, the band made a stop at the airport, where they interacted with thousands of fans who had gathered at the gates.
Both on departure and arrival, the rock stars took the time to engage with their Recklovers. Many Instagram posts tagging the band were accompanied by heartfelt captions thanking them for being "the best band of all time." Not only are they talented, but they’re also polite and charismatic.
It’s no surprise that The Reckless has been winning over the hearts of fans with their music and magnetic personalities. Above all, we’re eager to uncover their true stories and what lies behind all those smiles.

ASHTON IS THE HEIR TO BILLIONAIRE CONRAD BAKER, OWNER OF THE “BAKER” JEWELRY COMPANY
By Ravennah Hollow, August 2023
The The Reckless member has never openly spoken about his family, but we decided to dig deeper to learn more about each of them. In a conversation with Ashton’s middle sister, she revealed that her brother hasn’t lived with the family for many years and has always wanted to distance himself from the responsibility of taking over the family business. He has no desire to inherit any money tied to the jewelry company.
I had the immense pleasure of having an honest conversation with Ashton following my call with Maddie—his affectionate nickname for his sister—and he reiterated multiple times that there is no family drama. Instead, he explained that he and his siblings matured very quickly, leading each to pursue the path they felt was right.
Ashton is the second oldest in the Baker family, and from the way he speaks about his parents and siblings, it’s clear there is a lot of love and affection between them.
We hope that admiration within the family endures and that the physical distance caused by their busy schedules doesn’t become a problem in the future.

THE RECKLESS MEMBER INVOLVED IN A FIGHT AT A CLUB IN CAMBRIDGE
By Ravennah Hollow, June 2024
Sources reported that the bassist was visiting Cambridge to see Harper Reeves, a medical student at Harvard.
The couple was seen together and photographed by fans and paparazzi on Saturday night. However, four hours after entering the club, fans recorded the moment Ashton argued and fought with another student, accusing him of harassing Harper.
The altercation lasted less than five seconds before Ashton aggressively confronted the medical student, causing a significant commotion in the establishment and leading to both being thrown out.
The club owner spoke to us, claiming Ashton frequently used his fame to act arrogantly and justify his actions.
Once again, Ashton has demonstrated immature and unstable behavior, raising concerns about his future with the band.
However, he issued a statement to fans, apologizing and explaining what had happened: the student in question had insulted Harper over her sexual orientation—Ashton’s current girlfriend is bisexual—and he lost control, acting in her defense.
For the first time, Harper addressed the situation on Ashton’s Instagram, confirming his account. According to the freshman, the student’s harassment had been ongoing since he found out she had dated his ex-girlfriend last year.
THE NEW CELEBRITIES
ASHTON BAKER AND FINNICK TAYLOR SPOTTED AT A SWINGERS CLUB IN LAS VEGAS
By Ravennah Hollow, July 2024
The Reckless is currently on a break from their tour until November. While some members are spending time with their families and girlfriends, Ashton and Finnick took a trip to Las Vegas, where they were spotted at a swingers club.
Recently, Ashton and Harper were seen together, but when questioned about the medical student, the bassist claimed they were nothing more than "good friends." Still, we can only imagine the benefits of that friendship—what other reason would he have for taking her out on a romantic dinner?
The term "womanizer" seems more fitting to describe him, though. Whether he and Harper are at risk of reconciling or not, Ashton always seems to spend his alone time in the company of other women.
As for Finnick, he and Penni had a brief relationship. She even publicly declared her feelings for the rock star, dropping several hints that things were going well between them. However, after Finnick was spotted in Las Vegas, the photo Penni posted two months ago was deleted. The singer has not commented on the breakup, but it seems the romance was short-lived.
Returning to the group's troublemaker, Ashton Baker appears to embody a free spirit and a detached lifestyle. Along with fame, he has brought the weight of being involved in more controversies than we can keep track of.
Ashton better watch out, as he risks dragging The Reckless’s name down with him.
