So, on January 22, 2023, after more than a decade of presenting on WDIV (Channel 4), Sandra Ali announced that she was leaving her job. Prior to that, she anchored the 6:00 pm and 11:00 pm newscasts for Detroit’s WDIV every weekend for 13 years. Bidding farewell to viewers, she said that she is grateful for all the lifelong friendships she has made while working at WDIV and that now she is headed for a wonderful new opportunity. So, in her own way, the 2002 Associated Press Award winner was transparent about her professional life. On the other hand, the matter of her personal life has gone largely under the radar, especially after she and her husband Shawn Ley seemed to have separated. We tell you more in this article about Shawn called ‘WDIV Shawn Ley Bio’.
Meet Shawn Ley, Sandra Ali’s husband
Sandra Ali married fellow journalist Shawn Ley in 2006 at the Hills Country Club in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The two met when Shawn got a job in Detroit, where Sandra was living and working at the time. A year after their first meeting, their paths crossed again when Shawn stumbled across Sandra’s house, which she had put up for sale at the time. Shawn then took the unexpected meeting as a cue to ask Sandra out. The latter, of course, agreed and here they are, fast forward to early 2023, rumored to be apart.
The couple have four children. Their first son, Roman, was born in 2010. Then came daughter Isla, followed by twins Grant and Tamer.
As they adjusted to balancing work and family responsibilities, Shawn and his wife were often seen appreciating each other for their commitment to marriage and children. Sandra also repeatedly praised her husband for dealing with all their children and her “dirty diapers” while maintaining his career exceptionally well.
Is Shawn Ley from WDIV still married?
When Shawn Ley’s mother passed away in 2020, his obituary made no mention of Shawn’s wife, despite mentioning his brother along with his wife. So they probably broke up before that.

Also, the following year, fans argued that Sandra did not see the wedding ring. In the same year, there was also a claim that the couple filed for divorce in November 2019. Therefore, it is believed to be kept hidden from the public for now.
As of January 2023, he neither confirmed nor denied the divorce.
Sandra’s last post on Shawn’s social media was in 2018 and Shawn also has no recent photos of them on his account. However, both continued to share photos of their children and things related to work.
But all of that seemed to be in the past now, as Sandra no longer has the title “wife” on her social media bio. For a while now, she’s just been hanging around as “mom of 4 babies + twins”.
