#2 She leaves behind one daughter

Ashley and Alexa

At a time when Ashley was still trying to give a boost to her modeling career prior to her wrestling career, she was already raising a daughter as a single mother.

At the age of 21, she gave birth to Alexa on July 23, 2000. Ashley had claimed on many occasions that there was no one dearer and more important to her than her daughter.

While she has always put her daughter first, Ashley had revealed that her own mother was extremely worried about her wrestling in the ring.

She had revealed the following during an interview with Ask Men in February 2009:

“My mom wants to freak out when I do something risky in the ring, but I've always been the type of kid who climbed the highest branch on the tree and jumps down.”

In mid-2008, Ashely’s daughter Alexa fell sick, which led to Ashley finding it difficult to travel with the company and tend to her daughter at the same time. Therefore she asked for an early release from WWE to care for her and ended her working relationship with the company.
