Ashley Wagner

Personal life Wagner has lived in Germany, Delaware, California, Alaska, Kansas, Washington state, and Virginia.

Wagner currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts but considers Seabeck, Washington, her home. Wagner appeared in the issue because she wanted people to see what a figure skater's body looks like:

It was really important to me for people to see what a figure skater's body really looks like. People think we're just these little porcelain dolls. At the end of the day, we have to be really strong, really lean athletes. We're using multiple cardiovascular systems when we're out there on the ice. So I'm stoked that I got to do the Body Issue so that people could see that we're athletes and that this is a real sport.

In July 2019, Wagner came forward and revealed that she was sexually assaulted as a 17-year-old by John Coughlin, a fellow figure skater who committed suicide the previous January after he was accused of multiple sex crimes.
