Bingham and Axster were married in 2009 and had three children within 12 years of marriage. The two also worked together occasionally, with Anna Axster directing some of Bingham’s music videos. They also co-owned a record label and called it Axster Bingham Records.
The reason why Ryan Bingham filed for divorce is still unknown, which isn’t surprising because the couple does tend to keep things about their relationship private. Additionally, following the divorce filing in June 2021, Bingham filed to change his name legally.
Many assume it’s because of the divorce that Ryan Bingham made such a move. However, there is no official explanation for why he wants to change his name except for his desire to return to using his birth name.

Ryan Bingham suddenly filing for divorce came as a massive shock for fans. After all, there were no signs of strain in the couple’s relationship, at least as far as their public image was concerned.
