Russell Wilson, wife file for divorce after two years of marriage

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife Ashton have filed for divorce. The two were married in January 2012.

The Seahawks released a statement from Wilson on the issue: “I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce. Clearly, 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.”

Wilson and the former Ashton Meem were married in Richmond, Virginia in January 2012, just a few months before Wilson was selected by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
