Why did Russell Wilson and Ashton Meem get divorced?

Russell Wilson experienced a personal setback when his marriage to Ashton Meem ended abruptly after two years. The union, initially perceived as idyllic, especially following Wilson’s significant contract signing, faced unexpected turmoil.

Despite Wilson’s request for privacy, speculation swirled, centering on alleged infidelity involving Meem and his teammate, Golden Tate. However, neither Wilson nor Meem commented on this matter. But Tate responded to the speculations after some time and said he did not have an affair or anything to do with the divorce. He also revealed, “That is laughable for anyone who knows us. His ex-wife, Ashton, is still best friends with my girlfriend. Russell and I were good friends when I was in Seattle, on and off the field.”

However, the divorce settlement came in 2014, and Meem got a massive sum as a settlement from Wilson (present net worth is $135 million). As of 2023, Ashton, who also owns some businesses, is supposed to have a considerable net worth of $4 million, accumulated mainly through her divorce from the Broncos QB.

This disheartening conclusion about what began as a romantic tale reflects the challenges public figures face in their personal lives. But again, Rusell Wilson is happily married to Ciara. Meem, on the other hand, prefers to keep a more understated presence, and there are no reports of her being remarried as of now.
