There was Ashton Meem even before American quarterback, Russell Wilson met and got married to his current wife who also doubles as an American singer and dancer, Ciara. The marriage between Russell and his former wife lasted two years before it finally ended in divorce in 2014. Since then, Ashton’s name is still getting some mentions in the public domain, but she continues to keep a very low profile.
With controversies surrounding how their marriage ended, here is a look at important facts about Meem, her life with the NFL star, and how she has picked up since the divorce.
Ashton Meem And Russel Wilson Dated For A Long Time
When it was reported that Russel and Ashton were ending their marriage in divorce, it was rather surprising to many because of the history that the pair had. They first met and started dating when they were still in high school. Their first meeting in high school was a brief one before they met again at a summer party. It was there that they started dating.
After high school, they continued dating even though they went to different colleges. Because of the problem of distance, Ashton decided to transfer to the North Carolina State University from the University of Georgia.
They dated for a while before the NFL star went on a knee in 2010 to propose to his then-girlfriend. In 2012, the pair got married on January 14 in the presence of 300 guests. The ceremony took place at the Virginia country club. They were unable to have their honeymoon immediately.
The Marriage Lasted Only Two Years
Even though the marriage between Ashton Meem and Russell Wilson seemed as though it was one to last a long time, it came to a sad end only after two years. In a statement, he revealed that he had come to the difficult decision to divorce his wife while asking for prayers and privacy. He made it known that he was not going to make any further statement on the issue.
The divorce was a sudden decision as only 13 weeks prior to that, the quarterback took to social media where he shared the picture of his wife. This opened the doors for many speculations surrounding what really happened between the pair that caused the divorce.
The rumor that went wild was that the marriage ended because Ashton Meem cheated on her husband with Golden Tate who was his former teammate. It was reported that because of the incident, Tate was punched by Percy Harvin who was also their teammate.
Golden was forced to write a long essay on the reason why he left Seatle after his contract expired, his close relationship with Ashton who was his girlfriend’s friend, and the fake report that he was punched. He denied ever having an affair with Russell’s wife, indicating that he had nothing to do with the divorce.
