Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti trying to work it out

Ashley Judd is desperately trying to win back her estranged husband Dario Franchitti — but her meddling mom keeps getting in the way. The actress, 45, and the 40-year-old IndyCar split last January after 12 years of marriage. But Ashley rushed back to Dario’s side after he was seriously injured in a horrific crash at the Houston Grand Prix in October.

Ashley has been relatively quiet about the reconciliation, but Naomi Judd can’t keep her mouth shut, and recently declared, “They are madly in love. And they are bonded for life.”

“Ashley is desperately trying to repair her marriage out of the public eye, and her mother is sticking her nose into it and telling the world what’s going on with them,” a source told the National Enquirer.

Dario’s also fed up with being caught in the middle of the ongoing Judd family drama.

Ash­ley was recently awarded temporary custody of sister Wynonna’s 17-year-old daugh­ter Grace, who has been butting heads with her mom for years.

Meanwhile, Dario was forced to retire from rac­ing after the crash, and he “wanted to stay clear of all the drama and back-biting, but he’s getting dragged right back into it again,” said another source.

“He still loves Ashley, but having to deal with this explosive Judd family dynamic has left him feeling he’s better off just going it alone.”
