    Ashley Hamasaki met Maurice Jones-Drew when she was just an 8-year-old cheerleader cheering for him in a Pop Warner football league in California. Soon after, the two became good friends and then started dating on and off throughout junior high and high school.

    Married since 2012.

    When Maurice received a full scholarship and went off to play college football at UCLA, Ashley stayed behind and attended The Paul Mitchell School to become a cosmetologist.

    In 2006, Jones-Drew was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2nd Round, however, Ashley again decided to stay back to give her future husband time to focus on his career.

    Fast forward six years later, Maurice and Ashley still stayed true to each other and tied the knot on April 1st, 2012 in Pleasanton, California.

    Jones-Drew and Ashley are parents to two sons (Maurice II and Madden) and one daughter (Alayah).

    **He born in Oakland and was raised by his maternal grandparents, Maurice and Christina Jones.

    At the height of his college career in 2005, his grandfather died of a heart attack while watching him play at the Rose Bowl against Rice University on September 10.

    Coach Dorrell broke the news to Drew on the sideline during the game, and he ran to the locker room and left to go to the hospital.

    To honor the man who raised him, he had his entire legal surname affixed to his jersey, making him "Maurice Jones-Drew."
