Ashton Meem | Early Life, Family, and Education

Ashton Meem was born to her parents, Lang Meem and Molly Meem, on September 6, 1987, in Richmond, Virginia, the United States of America.

There is not much information regarding her childhood. Hence, we cannot be sure about her siblings. Nevertheless, through hours of hard work, we discovered that the  36-year-old beauty attended St. Catherine High School in her hometown.

Her future ex-husband Russel Wilson was also a student in the same high school, where the two met each other and started their eight-year-long relationship. Returning to the subject after graduating from high school, Ashton enrolled at the University of Georgia.

But soon after, Meem decided to transfer to North Carolina State University as her boyfriend Russell played there.

Ashton Meem | Career

Having graduated with a degree in communication, it should be no surprise that Ashton decided to join the advertising industry.

Soon after graduating from college, the Virginia native interned at Lewis Media Partners and McKinney.

After gaining valuable experience, Meem got her first job as an account executive at Richmond-based Morton Consulting in 2011.

Subsequently, she worked there for some years before moving on and joining the American Family Insurance company.

Ashton Meem | Age, Height & Body Measurements

Meem was born in 1987, making her age 36 years old. However, judging by the beautiful looks and mesmerizing brown eyes, one would be forgiven for thinking that this beauty is in her early 20s. 

She has a slimly built body with a Breast-Waist-Heap measurement of 35-25-36. 

Furthermore, Ashton stands at 5 feet 9 inches and weighs 53 kg. Likewise, her stunning body figure is highlighted in her various social media posts and paparazzi pictures.

Ashton Meem | Net Worth, Salary, Contract, and Income

As of 2024, Ashton is believed to have a massive net worth of $4 million, mainly through her divorce from NFL star Russel Wilson.

Although Meem has some businesses, she got a massive chunk of her fortune as a settlement from her divorce from Russell.

Furthermore, Wilson’s net worth of $165 million is simply incredible. Thus, we feel that the divorce settlement did not hurt the 35-year-old quarterback that much.

Moreover, Russel recently signed a four-year $140 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks in 2019. It also included a $65 million signing bonus and $107 million in guaranteed money overall.

The NFL star celebrated this joyous moment with his wife, Ciara, and shared a clip while in bed. It did not take much for the pin to go viral online.

Ashton Meem | Personal Relationships & Wedding

Talking about her love life, Ahston is quite secretive as we don’t know whether she has a lover. Contrarily, Meem was involved in a highly high-profile relationship with Russell Wilson, one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Furthermore, the couple met each other when they were in high school. After that, the two lovers dated six long years before tying the knot in 2012.

It was the same year that Wilson got drafted into the NFL.

After only spending two years together, Russell filed for a divorce due to unspecified reasons. However, there were reports that fellow Seahawks player Golden Tate and Ashton cheated on Wilson.

Nonetheless, the two got divorced and have moved on since then. He stated, “I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce. Decisions like these don’t come easy. Ashton and I respectfully ask for prayers, understanding, and privacy during this difficult time. Moving forward, I will have no further comment on this personal matter. “

Later on, the Seahawks quarterback married R&B artist Ciara on July 6, 2016.

On the other hand, Meem has decided to keep their relationships out of the media’s prying eyes.

Russell Wilson and Ciara

Many fans were sad about the split between Russell and Ashton; however, soon after, the NFL player struck a chord with pop diva Ciara.

The reason might be the familiar heartbreak story they shared. Both came out of an emotional relationship back in 2014.

While Wilson filed for divorce from his first wife and college sweetheart, Ashton Meem, in April, Ciara broke her engagement with rapper Future in December.

Despite that, it is unclear how and when the two broken-hearted met in the first place.

However, Wilson and Ciara came hand in hand as a couple for the first time at a White House state dinner in honor of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Without a doubt, their relationship sparked the internet as fans went wild about it.

In an interview with “The Rock Church,” located in San Digo, Wilson talked about their relationship. He confirmed their relationship while announcing their decision to remain celibate until marriage.

“She was on tour, she was traveling, and I was looking at her in the mirror… and she was sitting there, and God spoke to me and said, ‘I need you to lead her,’ and so I told her right then and there, what would you do if we took all that extra stuff off the table, and did it Jesus’ way?”

Fortunately, the pop star agreed while telling him the couple could “love each other without that.”

The couple tied the knot on July 6, 2016, at a castle in England after getting engaged in March of the same year.

Proposal and Dream Wedding

After dating for over a year, Russell took their relationship to the next step and proposed to Ciara during their vacation in Seychelles.

Of course, the pop diva gleamed as she said yes. Wilson soon took this to Instagram and posted a video with the caption, “She said yes!

But before they could spend time as a husband and wife, the two had to deal with Future, Ciara’s ex-fiance. According to TMZ, the diva believed Future might attempt to kill Wilson.

Similarly, the American singer also prepared a legal document against the rapper. Not to mention, she included various threats the rapper made toward Wilson.

In addition, she believed Future’s Instagram post with a gun emoji pointed at football emoji was a reference to Wilson.

The rapper posted it along with his lyrics from the title track “Juice.” It goes- “Tryna f-my baby mama, dog, what’s up with you? Are you gon’ make me get that heat? I’m pulling up on you.”

Wilson and Ciara tied the knot at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England, despite the rocky situation. Their beautiful wedding happened in July 2016, three months after their engagement.

Pregnancy and Baby 

After their grand wedding, attended by numerous loved ones, the pair announced their pregnancy on October 25, 2016. Similarly, the two welcomed their daughter, Sienna Princess, on April 29, 2017.

On their third wedding anniversary, Wilson hinted at wanting to have more children two years later.

On April 14, 2020, the two used confetti cannons, which sent out blue streams, revealing the gender of their child. The lovely couple welcomed their baby boy on July 23 and named him Win Harrison Wilson.

Finally, a new member was added to the family as their 2nd child. However, it is baby number three for Ciara.

The world’s going to have to keep up! 🙂 I’m so excited and grateful to be celebrating with you today! I love you so much, My little Prince #HappyBirthday WIN!”.

Is Ashton married now? Where is she?

While Wilson is enjoying his marriage with Ciara publicly, Ashton has remained aloof from the internet at the moment.

Since Meem’s separation from her high school sweetheart, she has stayed silent about her relationship.

But some sources claim Ashton is still single and not dating anyone.
