Sasha Gates: Traversing the High-Wire

With long brown hair, deep eyes and a toned figure strengthened by a regimented workout routine, Sasha Gates is a whirlwind force brilliantly navigating the tightrope act that is her life. In addition to starring on E!’s hit reality TV series WAGS, Gates is a talented musician, whose single "Go Hard" was recently released on iTunes. Gates believes the song encompasses her overall philosophy about living life to the fullest. "You have to go hard and give it your all, no matter what," Gates tells us.

This is an ideology that follows her through life. More than just a musician or reality star, Gates is a successful businesswoman who founded the Dolling Foundation, a charity that provides high-quality wigs to women suffering hair loss from catastrophic illness. With a foot in so many different industries, it’s hard to image that Gates has time to relax, let alone have a family. Yet Gates is the mother of not one, but two beautiful children with her husband, NFL player Antonio Gates. How does she manage such a full and rich life? "There are definitely times you have to sacrifice, but it becomes instinct," Gates admits. "You find a way to juggle everything... There are always conflicts, but being organized and having a strong support system at home is invaluable."
