Ashton Meem is not known in the general sense because she is neither a celebrity nor a daughter of a famous person; neither was she involved in something which resulted in her being recognized. But the one reason she is known, or you will come to know her is because of her relationship with the leader of the Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson.
Ashton was born in Richmond, Virginia, to her parents, father Lang Meem and mother Molly, on 6 September 1987. Most of her early life was spent in Richmond, and it was also the place she got her education. She joined St. Catherine’s High School, where she enrolled to get her first education, and also while studying, she encountered the man who was going to be her husband.

There started rumors the wife of Russell Wilson cheated on him with his teammate, Golden Tate. The rumor was enough to instigate the player to file for divorce, and in 2014, after two years of marriage, the couple was separated and soon got divorced.
Golden Tate was not happy he was dragged into the domestic case between the married couple, and he clarified he did not get involved with a married woman and even talked about Russell not talking to him before filing for divorce. The marriage ended the years-long relationship in an unceremonious fashion which was not what anyone wanted.

Ashton’s Instagram and other social media accounts are private, and she never appeared in any relationship rumors except for the one, which ended her marriage. To this point, we are not certain whether she ever remarried or is currently in a relationship. She loved her then-husband, but the relationship was not to be, and the most probable scenario is she moved on with her life just like Russell did.
About a year after his divorce from his wife, Russell Wilson was seen with R&B singer Ciara who also recently got out of a relationship with the rapper Future. They started dating in 2015, and soon in 2016, Russell decided she was the one which is why he proposed, and the couple made the engagement public on 11 March 2016.
