Ryan Newman Relationship Timeline: Marriage, Heartbreak, and Life After Racing
By Robert Thorne
Divorces in the sports spotlight frequently devolve into messy disputes over assets and custody. The Newmans bypassed that trend entirely. Their primary focus remained centered on their two daughters, Brooklyn and Ashlyn, both of whom have inherited their parents' passion for the outdoors, horses, and kart racing.
The centerpiece of their continuing partnership is Rescue Ranch. Founded in 2012 on an 87-acre property in Statesville, North Carolina, the facility operates as an educational sanctuary dedicated to hands-on learning, animal rehabilitation, and humane education. Rather than liquidating the venture during divorce proceedings, Ryan and Krissie kept the non-profit running without disruption. Krissie serves actively on executive leadership, while Ryan frequently handles property infrastructure, heavy equipment tasks, and agricultural oversight.
Local volunteers and visitors routinely spot both parents on-site during charity events. Their joint public appearances with their daughters at regional horse shows and track events show a functional, drama-free dynamic that many modern families strive to achieve.
