Here are a few photos of Ashanti<\/strong>, who is the newest cast member to Lifetime TV’s long-running series, Army Wives<\/strong>, along with Torrey DeVitto, Elle McLemore<\/strong>, and Jesse McCartney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Army Wives will return with 13 all-new episodes, beginning Sunday, March 10, at 9 p.m. ET\/PT. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Army Wives follows the struggles, dreams and friendships of a diverse group of women \u2013 and one man \u2013 living with their spouses and families on an active Army post. The series stars Catherine Bell, Brian McNamara, Kelli Williams, Wendy Davis, Terry Serpico, Alyssa Diaz, JJ Soria, Ashanti, Torrey DeVitto, Elle McLemore<\/strong> and Jesse McCartney<\/strong>. Sally Pressman<\/strong> and Sterling K. Brown<\/strong> will also appear in several episodes.<\/p>\n

The seventh season of Lifetime\u2019s hit drama Army Wives will see new challenges to the tribe, including a heartfelt and final goodbye to one of their own in one of the series\u2019 most dramatic and pivotal moments.<\/p>\n

Ashanti will make her series regular debut in Army Wives as \u201cLatasha Montclair,\u201d a force of nature and an indomitable spirit for whom \u201csouthern hospitality\u201d isn\u2019t just a concept, it\u2019s a way of life. Latasha finds joy in navigating the daily chaos of singlehandedly wrangling her three children while her husband, \u201cQuincy\u201d (Joshua Henry, Godspell, The Scottsboro Boys), is deployed overseas.<\/p>\n

DeVitto will portray \u201cMaggie Hall,\u201d a former airborne soldier with three deployments in Iraq under her belt who is more comfortable fixing Army trucks or riding her motorcycle than decorating her living room. Maggie is hanging up her dog tags and focusing on her new mission: motherhood and marriage to her second husband, Staff Sergeant \u201cEddie Hall\u201d (Burgess Jenkins, Remember the Titans).<\/p>\n

Multi-platinum singer\/songwriter and actor McCartney, best known for his chart-topping hit song \u201cBeautiful Soul\u201d and his role on All My Children, for which he received two Daytime Emmy nominations, joins Army Wives as Private \u201cTim Truman,\u201d an enthusiastic young soldier determined to prove himself on his first deployment.<\/p>\n

McLemore, who starred on Broadway\u2019s Bring It On, will play \u201cHolly Truman,\u201d Tim\u2019s high school sweetheart and newlywed wife. Holly is a long way from her family\u2019s farm in Effingham, Illinois, the only home she\u2019s ever known. But now that Tim is deployed and Holly is on her own for the first time ever, she is learning the ropes of being an Army wife from her new friends at Fort Marshall.<\/p>\n
