Meet Asher Monroe, Sanela Diana Jenkins Partners
Asher Monroe first came into the life of Sanela Diana Jenkins, an American R&B singer, who was signed to her record label. Eventually, the two became closer, and he began appearing with his now-partner at various events and lavish parties. Before we knew it, they were dating.
News of Asher and Sanela’s relationship emerged months after Sanela divorced her ex-husband Roger Jenkins in 2011.
Sanela first met Roger, a British financier, at a gym near her London campus. The two married in 1999 and had two children together, Eneya and Innis Jenkins.
After their divorce, Roger married a beautiful Bosnian refugee 16 years his junior called Sanela Dijana Catic. But the couple divorced within a year in 2012, with Sanela reportedly receiving £150 million.
Roger, also known as Big Dog, was then linked to supermodel Elle Macpherson and former Miss Venezuela Aida Yespica. He never married anyone but found love with Brazilian model and actress Larissa Andrade.
He married Larissa in August 2018.
Do Asher Monroe and Sanela Diana Jenkins have children?
Yes, Asher Monroe and Sanela Diana Jenkins share a child named Eliyanah. Their daughter was born on Thanksgiving (i.e. November 25) 2020.
On her daughter’s first birthday, Asher wrote on her IG: “I’ve almost accepted that I may never have a child of my own to be a father to the most precious soul and enjoy every minute. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
While Eliyanah may be Asher’s first child, she is Sanela’s third.
The RHOBH star has a son and daughter named Innis and Eneya from her previous marriage to Roger Jenkins.
Are Asher Monroe and RHOBH star Sanela Diana Jenkins married?
No, Asher Monroe and Sanela Diana Jenkins are still not married as of 2021. While there is no doubt about the love between the couple, perhaps “time” has kept the lovebirds from getting married.
Plus, the “Bosnia-Dia” certainly had her hands full back then. In addition to filming RHOBH, Sanela was also busy with the Diana Jenkins Foundation, which she founded in 2009 to promote international justice and human rights.

Speaking about his music, Asher shares that he is inspired by singers like Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury and Otis Redding. He admits to using a variety of techniques to write a song. “I find that I write my best and most meaningful work when I shut myself off from the world and connect with a higher power,” he shares.

His father then remarried in June 2010.
