Benjamin Todd “Big Ben” Roethlisberger Sr. is football quarterback for the National Football League’s Pittsburgh Steelers. Roethlisberger was the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft. In his early professional career, Big Ben earned the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2004 and went on to become the youngest winning Super Bowl quarterback in the history of the NFL (at age 23). He lead the Steelers to a 21-10 victory against the Seattle Seahawks during Super Bowl XL in his second season playing professionally. Currently, Roethlisberger ranks 6th in all-time career passing yards in the NFL and is 1 of only 6 NFL quarterbacks to have defeated 31 of the teams that are part of the National Football League (to put that into perspective, there are only 32 NFL teams total). If you think his career stats are impressive, however, just wait till you see what Ben Roethlisberger house looks like!

Ben Roethlisberger Wife

Ben Roethlisberger is married to a woman by the name of Ashley Harlan. The pair dated on and off for 6 years prior to finally tying the knot in July of 2011. Prior to meeting Harlan, it seemed Roethlisberger was not the type to settle down, especially given his partying lifestyle off the field – but 8 years of marital bliss and 3 children later, it seems Roethlisberger has finally settled into his new role as a husband and family man.

Ashley Harlan Ben Roethlisberger

Roethlisberger met his wife-to-be after her brother, a huge Steelers fan, saw the athlete and approached him to introduce himself. Upon meeting Harlan’s sister, Ashley, however, Roethlisberger decided to ask her on a date. Several years of dating would follow, but the couple’s relationship would have rough patches, especially when Ben was accused of rape by a casino hostess in 2008, and then accused again in 2010 by a Georgia college student. The charges against the athlete were later dropped, and he and Ashley would survive both ordeals and go on to marry on July 23, 2011, in Sewickley, PA, with over 500 guests in attendance, one of which was the mayor of Pittsburgh, Luke Ravenstahl.

The couple now shares 3 children together; Benjamin Jr. (born 2012), Baylee (born 2014), and Bodie (born 2016).
