# Ashley Greene

## Early life

Greene was born on February 21, 1987, in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. Her father, Joe Greene Sr., a former U.S. Marine, owns a concrete construction business, while her mother, Michele (née Tatum), works for an insurance company.

Wolfson High School when she was in tenth grade. She moved to Los Angeles at age 17 to pursue an acting career.

## Career

She initially planned to become a model, but was told that she was not tall enough at 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 m) to be a fashion model and should instead focus on acting in commercials. After taking commercial and acting class, she fell in love with acting and realized that she preferred it over modeling. Greene graduated from high school early and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
Early in her career, she appeared as a guest on such television programs, as Punk'd and Crossing Jordan. Greene's big break came in 2008, when she was cast as Alice Cullen in The Twilight Saga series of films, based on the novel series of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. The series consists of the films Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which were respectively released in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Greene portrayed Michelle Burkham in the drama film Skateland, which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
She reunited with her Twilight co-star Kellan Lutz in the movie A Warrior's Heart (2011), and also starred in thriller film Summer's Blood (2009) and the Dark Castle Entertainment horror film The Apparition (2012).
In 2013, Greene starred in the film CBGB about the storied former music club of the same name. In 2015, she voiced Barbara Gordon/Oracle in Batman: Arkham Knight.

## Personal life

Greene is a friend of her Twilight co-stars, Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone, whom she knew before filming of the series began. She has stated that she grew up watching football and is a Florida Gators fan. In 2009, nude self-portraits of Greene were leaked onto the internet. Her attorneys threatened to sue various websites that published the pictures.
In 2010, she received "The Style Icon Award" at Hollywood Life's Young Hollywood Awards, as well as an award from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for representing Avon and their no testing on animals policy.

### Relationships

Greene dated Joe Jonas for a year before they broke up in March 2011. In October 2012, Greene began dating Reeve Carney, but the couple split after being together for ten months because their schedules and other projects took them away from each other.
In 2009, Greene met her future husband Paul Khoury through mutual friends. They married in 2018 and have one child.
