Why Did Russell Wilson Get Divorced From His First Wife?

The outlet shares that both Ashton and Golden vehemently denied the rumors. In fact, Golden addressed the rumors in a 2015 essay for The Cauldron.

“I did not have an affair with Russell Wilson’s wife, nor did I have anything to do with his divorce,” Golden wrote. “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.”
