The Story
- UPDATE: 04/02/2012: Coming off one of the most successful seasons of his NFL career, Maurice Jones-Drew has married Ashley Hamaski on April 1, 2012 in a wedding ceremony in Pleasanton, CA. As MJD explained on the Dan Patrick radio show, the wedding was actually delayed somewhat as he and Ashley were expecting their third child. In that same radio interview, Jones-Drew told Dan Patrick he would be invited to the festivities as he helped book the band playing his reception. No word how Patrick RSVP'd.
- While there's very little information out there about the couple, we have dug up a few gems.
Maurice Jones-Drew has been dating Ashley Hamaski since MJD was tearing up the Pac-10 at UCLA. The couple has three children; sons Maurice III and Madden, and daughter Alayah. The couple is currently engaged, though no wedding plans or details are known.
We were able to dig up this gem of a quote from MJD while he was on his way to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indy.
"My girlfriend's name is Ashley Hamasaki. She's Japanese and Hawaiian. Yeah, she's pretty sexy. But I think I miss the dog more. I hear from my girlfriend all the time. Oh, I'm just kidding, baby. She's graduating from cosmetology school on Thursday, so she'll get a job and stuff like that. Just like me. It's time to get a job."

Typically ignorant.
Maybe the man dated plenty of black women and just happened to fall in love with this beautiful Asian woman. It doesn't even matter, but if he found someone whom he felt was compatible and they are happy, that's what is important. If a black man marries a non-black woman it doesn't mean he "changed" or has a problem with black females. There are a lot of successful and famous men who DO change and pick partners based on race, but you can't just jump to conclusions with every one you see.
Sincerely,
A Beautiful (Accepting) Black Woman

It's really sad that some black man think that they can't find a black woman that is beautiful enough to marry. Sad Sad Sad. But God bless them.

The truth is most black men, good and otherwise and those who are wealthy marry black women!! White people would like to believe that black men once they become wealthy prefer non-black women but the real numbers tell a different story. It is just that when black men marry outside of their race, it is more advertised. It is kind of like when you see negative images about black people on TV, for example, welfare. More white people are on welfare, but you start to believe more black people are based on what is advertised/marketed. Additionally, white women throw THEMSELVES at black men (and all men for that matter) with money with a vengence as their goal is to make sure that they do not have to work. I have heard that straight from white women. I am not saying that any woman wouldn't prefer to align themselves with a wealthy man, but these white women who marry the NFL players likely wouldn't marry these black guys if it were not for the money. And these guys likely end up lending some financial support to these womens families as well. That is what is sad. NFL players aren't necessarily known as being the smartest athletes, so they are the perfect suckers and don't come from the strongest families. I have a cousin who was a star basketball player in college and you wouldn't believe the things these white women did to try and get him - just would not leave him alone. MJD's wife is a so-called minority so technically she doesn't qualify as a "white woman". But with white women, these men have to be careful although in those cases, it can also be an issue of some self-hatred (what I call mentally unemancipated and uneducated black men - but that is a whole other post).

Ashley Hamasaki is my first cousin's daughter. I went to her mother's home and they showed me the photos of Ashley and Maurice and since I dont't watch a lot of football, I didn't have any idea who he was. That was in 2010 and they had been dating awhile. Ashley's mother is half Japanese and half English. I never met her father. Someday we will all completely ignore race and just be happy when someone marries someone they love. The only race that really matters is the human race...

This is typicaly behavior for a famous black men. His mother is black, his grandmother is black, and I'm sure her mother was black. Why marry anything less than someone who is black? My take on marriages such as these is, black men feel like white women are better than us, and per my druthers that's incorrect.

LOL doesnt matter who they marry. They treat them the same. 3 babies and no marriage until years or babies later....SMDH. Ladies stop thinking other ppl got it made. You dont know what they have to put up with or suffer through just to get a ring. I know I would want my ring without having to wait years and have a tribe. So chill and let these messy arse ppl do them. Do you the right way!!!!

The percentage of blacks on welfare is significantly higher than that of whites. That's a fact. Thus, more blacks are on welfare than whites even though more whites contribute to taxes and the economy than blacks. We gettin our reparations this way. I love Barack Obama.
