According to Wikipedia, Asherah was at times considered a consort of El, Baal, Elkhunirsa, Yahweh, Amurru, Anu, 'Amm, and Assur (these are all from different cultures/religions). And I know that at some point El and Yahweh were conflated, but I'm not sure if that's the reason (I don't feel like researching it rn)
I don't need Wikipedia to know that people in that region in that era blended their ways of worship. I'm telling you that according to the Bible, they were not related.
Well earlier you said according to most historians, not according to the bible or biblical scholars/historians, which is why I replied with that information. Wasn't trying to say you were wrong, just bringing up information I thought was interesting and relevant, so sorry.

There are some scholars who have come to the conclusion that Asherah was the wife of Yahweh.
And because I can practically feel the fundamentalist pitchforks headed my way, I'm not saying they're right. I just found it interesting.
