Who is Ben Roethlisberger's Wife? Inside The Couple's Happy Conjugal Life

Who is Ben Roethlisberger's Wife, Ashley Harlan? The duo are parents of three!  

NFL and sports world has been recounting Ben Roethlisberger's brilliant 18 years long career after he and Pittsburgh Steelers delivered a stunning victory in what will seemingly be Roethlisberger's last game at Heinz Field, against the Cleveland Browns. Born Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger Sr; on March 2, 1982, in Lima, Ohio, he is a graduate of the University of Ohio and is the only player, along with Terry Bradshaw, with the all-time high number in the Steelers franchise.  

Despite his high-profile playing career in the league, Roethlisberger's personal life is not without a few stains and suspensions. He was accused of a sexual assault in 2009 and 2010 and was later suspended without pay for six games, in regards to the violation of the NFL's conduct policy. Big Ben scored himself a wife in 2011 and has been in a low-key relationship.  

Introducing Ben Roethlisberger's Wife, Ashley Harlan!  

Though Roethlisberger married Ashley Harlan, a physician assistant, on July 23, 2011, sources say, they met back in 2005, through a hardcore Roethlisberger's fan. The cupid in disguise of a fan was no other than Harlan's brother Brent Harlan. Insiders at the time reported the duo hit off immediately and started dating shortly.

 Ben and Ashley were reportedly taking things slow and low-key and experienced few up and downs in the period, but as the controversy around the Steelers star player withered out gradually, the couple tied the knots at the Christ Church in Grove Farms, Pennsylvania.

Given Roethlisberger's opulence and a renowned status in the league, the wedding, of course, had to be an extravagant affair. The Roethlisberger's wedding was attended by over 500 guests, with the highlist guest being the then-mayor of Pittsburgh. Despite many cryptic nods against Harlan for then-recently accused sexual molester, the couple's wedding was plauded for one feat, if not more; the duo had their guests make charity donations.
