Graham began focusing on her modeling profession after her divorce from her violent boyfriend. In 2009, she arrived at her modeling agency buzzed from “some tequila.” Following this occurrence, her mother advised her to attend either treatment or church.
Graham was quoted as saying: “I was like, ‘I’m not an alcoholic, so I’ll just go to church.” After that, she began attending a church in New York City, where she met her future husband, Ervin. When asked about their first encounter, she said,
“Next thing you know, I’m in the elevator…I’m also volunteering that Sunday. “I’m the elevator operator, and two men entered the elevator.”
She went on to add that one of the men informed the other that he would talk to her if he didn’t. Then Ervin was the only one who remained in the elevator. Graham went on to say that the two ended up going on a coffee date.
She stated that the two had a nice time together, but she removed his phone number after the coffee date since Ervin left Graham to pay the bills.
Graham and Ervin didn’t communicate after their disastrous first date. However, about a month later, the duo met at church, when Ervin asked her out and offered to pay this time.
“He said, ‘I have been taken advantage of and I have had women use me for a steak dinner, I don’t want that, I’m looking for a wife.”
Ervin and Ashley Graham’s Engagement and Wedding
Ashley Graham disclosed their engagement and marriage to Harpers Bazaar in 2019. After a year of dating, the couple became engaged, and they married a few months later in 2010.
Graham said that she and her husband spent their first year of marriage filming episodes of “The Justin and Ashley Show” on a webcam. The duo, however, never produced a single episode of their program.

Graham revealed to Bazaar that they were involved in one of the episodes. She told her then-boyfriend, “you’re never going to ask me to marry you.” Then Ervin inquired about the best method to propose.
Graham detailed the typical method he should go down on one knee and propose to her. Ervin, on the other hand, did things his own way. Graham characterized her husband’s proposal as follows:
“He told me I was his best friend, that he wanted to spend his life with me, that he’d never met anyone like me…all these incredible things.” Then he took out a ring and asked, “Will you marry me?”
Ashley originally mistook it for a joke. Justin also stated that he planned to marry her in two months.
Graham didn’t specify what she wanted for an engagement ring, but she did provide photographs of what she didn’t want. In addition, she sent what she loved.
She also stated that her dream item would be a gleaming collection of basic gold rings set with small diamonds, with the somewhat broader middle band showcasing a bigger stone. Check out what she got:
