After her dance career ended, Benefield’s interest in politics, led her to accept an invitation to join Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign as a staffer. In that role, Benefield attended a fundraiser at retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson’s home, where she met Doug Benefield, a businessman and former Navy flight officer who was 30 years her senior. The two bonded over shared interests in faith, firearms and politics. The couple married just 13 days after their initial meeting. Watch Ashley Benefield’s exclusive 20/20 interview.
