Lou’s ex-girlfriend and baby mama, Ashley was part of the bizarre triangle with the basketball star and Rece. The two women considered each other as sister wives and reportedly had a good relationship however, Henderson would later reveal that the threesome was not an issue to her because of her two children: Jada and Zoey, and also the financial benefits she reportedly enjoyed dating an NBA player.

During an interview in 2018 with sports illustrated reporter Lee Jenkins, Lou Williams revealed he and Ashley were no longer together. Despite not being together, the two were still friends.
