In a statement to the Seattle Times, Russell said: 

"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."

Affair rumors: There were rumors that Ashton was having an affair with Golden Tate, Seahawks receiver. Golden Tate clarified that he was unnecessarily dragged into their personal issue:

"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... rumors about me were unfounded, damaging to my reputation, and an attack on my character. Anyone who circulated that rumor was just plain irresponsible"

Ashton is still good friends with Golden Tate's wife Elise Pollard (which certainly makes one doubt the veracity of the rumors)
