It comes after Benson and Davis – who is the socialite grandson, with an estimated inheritance worth $US55 million (approx. $84.7 million), of the late billionaire oil tycoon Marvin H. Davis – confirmed Benson's pregnancy in November with a staged photoshoot at baby brand Babylist's showroom in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Four months earlier, in July, the couple announced their engagement on their Instagram Stories, with the actress flashing her new 12-carat ring and calling Davis her "best friend".
Davis, meanwhile, called Benson the "love of [his] life" in his Instagram Story, which Benson then reposted.
After their announcement, Davis shared a post originally posted by actress Theresa Picciallo, in which Benson can be seen showing off her new engagement ring on a FaceTime call.
Picciallo wrote in her caption: "Our babies are getting married!!!!!!" @ashleybenson & @brandondavis1111, we love you both unconditionally, endlessly, forever and always. Congratulations to out best friends!!!"
Shortly after their pregnancy announcement in November, reports emerged that the duo had tied the knot.

They also reportedly secretly got married, though neither party has confirmed this. Instagram
Neither Benson nor Davis, however, have confirmed the reports that they are now married.
"I usually keep my relationships private," Benson told Cosmopolitan UK magazine back in March 2021.
"You obviously can't help if you get photographed together. [But] it's more sacred that way.
"Those private moments are for you and your partner, and I think it's best not to be over-exposed, and you can really protect your relationship if you're not exploiting it."
