Diesel Brothers star David “Heavy D” Sparks and his wife Ashley Sparks have decided to end their marriage. Ashley filed for divorce from David in Utah on Tuesday, March 10, although the reason for the split was not disclosed.
The couple first met at a church in Utah back in 2008 and got married in August 2010. They have three children together: daughter Charley Mae, and sons Beau and Mack.
In August 2021, while celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary, Ashley shared a heartfelt message about their relationship. She mentioned that while no marriage is perfect and no two people love everything about each other, they both focus on the good aspects of their relationship. Ashley emphasized the importance of highlighting the positives in order to navigate through the inevitable challenges that come with marriage.
David gained fame for his role on the Discovery Channel show Diesel Brothers, where he and his friends customized and repaired pickup trucks. The show, which premiered in 2016, ran for seven seasons before concluding in 2020.
In October 2025, David made headlines after being arrested for allegedly failing to pay fees related to a lawsuit. He addressed the situation in an Instagram video, stating that his arrest was not about refusing to pay owed money but rather standing up against a system that he believed was being exploited by certain individuals for personal gain.
Despite the challenges they have faced, David and Ashley have remained resilient in their commitment to each other and their family. As they navigate this new chapter in their lives, both individuals will continue to focus on the positive aspects of their relationship and cherish the memories they have created together.
The news of their separation comes as a surprise to fans of the Diesel Brothers star, but both David and Ashley are determined to move forward with grace and respect for each other. Their journey may have taken an unexpected turn, but they remain grateful for the love and support they have received from their followers and well-wishers.
