No reports have surfaced claiming that she is married to dating a new man so, it is safe to say that she is currently single and having a hard time moving on not only from her ex-husband but also from the life of a star-struck wife to a normal person.
Or she might just be trying to focus on her career and make the best of what she has.
Ashton met Russell back when they were both in high school. Even though they did not study in the same school, their paths crossed anyways. They met a few times on the way and during parties and eventually started dating in 2006.

However, in 2013, rumors hit the market that Meem was allegedly cheating on her husband with his friend who is also a football player, Golden Tate. Even though there was no strong base to the rumor, it was being fueled by the media and everyone talked about it.

Eventually, in 2014, Russell Wilson announced that he was filing for divorce which shocked everyone and somehow proved that Meem cheated on him. The divorce was harsh for the couple who were together from a very young age.
Following the divorce, Tate spoke on the rumor and shared that Meem and his now fiance were best friends and it never would happen. He quoted:
I did not have an affair with Russell Wilson’s wife, nor did I have anything to do with his divorce. 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 — he knows the rumors about me were unfounded, damaging to my reputation, and an attack on my character. Anyone who circulated that rumor was just plain irresponsible.
