Ashley Leisinger is the ex-wife of the handsome guest star of The Vampires Diaries drama series, Bryton James who played the role of Luke Martin.

Personal Life

Ashley Leisinger was born in California. She was known as a beautiful woman; now forgotten with time. Ashley and her ex-husband were African-Americans. They met in California which is their birthplace. They kept their affair a secret. They were in a relationship for quite a few years before they got married. March 26th 2011, was the day when Ashley Leisinger tied the knot with her then-husband, Bryton James. Bryton played the role of David Hamilton in the quite popular drama series, The Young and The Restless. His co-star from the same drama series, Christian LeBlanc, was the one who officiated their marriage ceremony. After marriage, they were doing quite well. Within three years of their marriage, rumours of their divorce surfaced.

On February 20th 2014, the couple finalised the divorce. Soon, rumours about them having a secret child started to grow. Bryton, when confronted by the media, confirmed that those rumours were untrue and informed them that no child was born to him and his ex-wife. Ashley was the last person Bryton was married to and there is not any news of him getting married in the future.

Ashley and Bryton are in contact in such a way that their friendship is intact and going well. Their divorce was a mutual decision between them. The black haired beauty has moved on with her life and so did her previous husband, Bryton James. Ashley was seen in the 36th Annual Daytime awards with Bryton where she looked ravishing in her curly hair and a halter neck maroon ruffled gown which synchronised well with James’ all white suit.

Divorce and controversy

Controversies get stuck with every celebrity and with almost everybody related to a celebrity and Ashley was no exception. Their divorce was a rumour which turned out to be true, but there were several rumours which described the reasons for their separation which have not been confirmed by either Ashley or Bryton.

Christel Khalil was co-starring Bryton in the series in which they were acting in during Ashley’s marriage with Bryton. Christel and Khalil claimed to have known each other since their childhood. They even claimed to consider each other as siblings. It was rumoured that this claim was not taken well by Ashley and thus, a lot of issues arose between her and Bryton.

James is a godfather to the child of Christel who names turns out to be Michael Caden. This may have triggered Ashley. Later, it was known that Christel introduced one of her girl buddies to James, and that girl buddy of hers was rumoured to be together in a love relationship with James. It was heard that Christel was proud to have done that thinking it to be a good decision for her friend, James, and Ashley knew about her intentions beforehand which made her confront Bryton and this confrontation led to a tussle between them.
