Sophia Bush, the actress known for her role in 'One Tree Hill,' has recently opened up about her new relationship with Ashlyn Harris, a retired US Women's National Team soccer player. The two met in late 2023 during their respective spousal splits and bonded over their shared experiences.
Bush filed for divorce from entrepreneur Grant Hughes in August 2021, while Harris was still married to Ali Krieger at the time. Rumors of an affair between Bush and Harris began circulating, but a source close to the situation denied any salacious story and stated that 'there was no cheating involved.'
Despite the negative public reaction, Bush praised Harris for her selflessness as a mother. She also identified as queer in her Glamour cover story published on April 26, 2024.
Bush met Harris in 2019 but their friendship grew stronger during their divorces. They celebrated Ruby Rose's birthday together at Magic Castle in Los Angeles and later attended an Oscar viewing party together in March. Bush noted that she felt like she was wearing a weighted vest before putting it down and finally feeling free.
The public reaction to Bush's new relationship was met with accusations of being a home-wrecker, but Bush remained steadfast in her feelings for Harris. She wrote, 'I didn't see it until I saw it.'
Bush filed for divorce from Hughes on August 4, 2023, and Harris officially divorced Krieger in September 2021. The two have been open about their relationship since then.
