Is Ashton Meem Russell Wilson’s first wife?
Ashton Meem, Russel Wilson’s first wife, was born in Richmond, Virginia, on September 6, 1987. When she was in high school, she met Wilson. They both went to high school in the same town, with Wilson going to Collegiate School a few miles away.
On January 14, 2012, the pair married at the Country Club of Virginia after eight years of dating, some of which were long-distance. Meem began her career in media marketing and, according to reports, she is currently employed with American Family Insurance as an advertising operations assistant.
But in April of this year, Wilson announced that he and Meem had broken up. After Meem’s alleged romance with Golden Tate, he filed for divorce. Despite their denials, Meem and Tate’s admirers believe they are innocent of the charges leveled against them.
What caused Russell and Ashton to divorce?
At a Country Club in Virginia, Wilson and Meem got married on January 14, 2012. This was the same year Wilson was drafted into the NFL.
The couple announced their divorce just two years later, in April of 2014.
As reported by the Seattle Times, Wilson said in a statement, “I have made the tough decision to file for divorce.” Decisions of this magnitude are clearly not taken lightly. At this difficult time, Ashton and I beg for your prayers, understanding, and discretion. “I will no longer speak on this personal topic,” I said.
Some speculate that Wilson and Meem’s divorce was precipitated by rumors of an affair between Meem and Wilson’s ex-teammate Golden Tate.
Tate and Meem both disputed the allegations, despite the reports.
I had nothing to do with Russell Wilson‘s divorce or having an affair with his wife, Tate insisted at the time in a statement. Anyone who knows us will find this ridiculous.
” It’s clear to Russell that the accusations about me were untrue, detrimental to my reputation, and an attack on my character when we were close friends in Seattle.
That rumor’s spreader(s) were completely irresponsible.”
Wilson remarried after the divorce, but Meem never did.
