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 without specifying a reason for the split. The couple met at church in Utah 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 insights into their relationship, acknowledging that no marriage is perfect and that they both have quirks that they may not love about each other. Despite the ups and downs, they focus on the positive aspects of their relationship to navigate through challenges.
David is well-known for his role on Discovery Channel’s Diesel Brothers, a show that followed a group of friends in Utah who customized pickup trucks. The series, which premiered in 2016, ran for seven seasons, with the final season airing in 2020.
