“I’d like everyone to meet my wife, Peyton Ashworth!” Ashworth wrote.
The two have a son, Tommy Jay, and he is one of six siblings: Tyler, Erin, Tanner, Brandon, Cole, and Brooklyn.
How Ashworth proposed to Burr is a riveting story.
According to The Utah Statesman, on Christmas Eve 2020, Ashworth arrived at his house in a horse-drawn carriage to await Burr, planning to surprise her.
“I told her I couldn’t make it to Christmas Eve because we had practice and that I would see her on Christmas Day,” Ashworth told the Statesman. “I played it off like I couldn’t go.”
He knocked on the door and proposed. When she said yes, the couple, who met at Lone Peak High School in Highland, Utah, took a romantic carriage ride together.
The two met when then-sophomore Steven was “scouting for love.”
“I had just moved from Vegas, and he was asking the cheerleaders if there were any new girls he could go out with — he was the ripe age of 15,” Peyton, who was then a junior, told the Statesman. “They introduced me to him, and he would text me all the time.”

Ashworth credits Burr for his success on the court.
“She is the most important person in the world. She makes my world go round. She is helpful at the house and on the court, and she will even come and rebound for me,” Steven told the Statesman. “She will even do as much research as she can to help me on the basketball floor.”
