Who Is Sam Levinson's Wife? Ashley Also Works in Entertainment

Ashley Levinson may be married to one of Hollywood's most prominent producers, but she, too, has groundbreaking work attached to her name. She and her husband, "Euphoria" creator Sam Levinson, have kept their relationship under wraps.

Sam Levinson has made a name for himself for pushing the boundaries of filmmaking, which often embroils him in controversy. His productions have gained him a sizeable following, and while his work is praised, the reviews have been mixed.

He is a writer, producer, and director that debuted in the entertainment industry, co-writing the 2010 screenplay for the action comedy "Operation: Endgame" with Brian Watanabe. The R-rated film's main stars were Joe Anderson, Ellen Barkin, Zach Galifianakis, Adam Scott, and more.

Sam followed his 2010 movie with the 2011 comedy-drama, "Another Happy Day," before taking a hiatus until 2017. That year, he returned with another screenplay for the TV movie "Wizard of Lies," followed by "Assassination Nation," where he collaborated with his wife, Ashley Levinson.

Ashley served as the movie's associate producer, and "Assassination Nation" is among her earliest work in filmmaking. Besides this film, she has collaborated several times with her husband. While it is known that she and Sam are married and even have a child together, they have disclosed little about their relationship.

Who Is Sam Levinson's Wife, Ashley?

Ashley's career began in marketing in the early 2000s. Between 2003 and 2005, she served in Marketing and Product Development for Joie. She worked in a similar department between 2005 and 2008 at Fashion Glue before becoming a Commercial Real Estate Consultant for Stafford Commercial Real Estate.

In November 2009, she moved on to the Soho House Group, where she worked in Marketing and Creative Programming until 2013. She became the Head of Alumni Relations for the Sundance Institute that year and held high positions in companies like Annapurna Pictures and BRON Studios in the following years.

In March 2018, Ashley co-founded Little Lamb Productions, which remains active. During a 2019 interview, when her husband spoke in detail about "Euphoria," he briefly touched on their family.

It's unclear when she and Sam met or when they married, but he mentioned that they had a son, who was three at the time. The producer was speaking about being watchful of the kind of television his kid consumed, saying:

"He’s three years old, and I don’t like when he’s watching something and there’s a really suspenseful score. I feel like it just soaks into him and it gives him anxiety."

Ashley Also Works in Entertainment and Has Credits

Among some of her husband's most acclaimed works is "Malcolm and Marie," which starred Zendaya and John David Washington. The film follows a lengthy fight between an actor (Malcolm) and his girlfriend (Marie) after he forgot to thank her at his movie premiere.

That premise was inspired by Sam forgetting to thank Ashley at the premiere of another film. Sam wrote and directed "Malcolm and Marie," and Ashley produced the romantic drama. She also co-executive produced "Queen and Slim," starring Daniel Kaluya Jodie Turner-Smith.

The award-winning crime drama was released in 2019. That year, Ashley also co-executive produced the biopic "Bombshell," which reenacted the fall of former Fox News head Roger Ailes at the hands of three women played by Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie, and Nicole Kidman.

Other onscreen credits she accumulated in the following years include "The Green Knight," "Those Who Wish Me Dead," "Needle in a Timestack," "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," "Breaking," "X," and "Euphoria."

Sam Got into Controversy Lately with "The Idol"

"The Idol," led by Lily-Rose Depp and Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye, is a six-part series following a young woman eager to become the sexiest and biggest pop star in America. It premiered in Cannes in May 2023, and much like the season finale of "Euphoria," it garnered mixed reviews.

"The Idol" featured extreme sexual scenes that many felt went far beyond the limits of cinema. Other reports alleged that the working environment during filming and the overall preparedness of the production was substandard. However, the "The Idol's" stars and Sam defended the show, and the stars maintained that they were treated professionally and with care.
