Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris’s friendship began in August 2019 when they met at the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Brunch following the team’s victory at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. At the time, Bush was still married to Grant Hughes, and Harris was still married to Ali Krieger. However, fate brought them together again in 2023, after both had gone through divorces and were starting fresh.
Bush has revealed that she asked Harris on their first date, and the chemistry was instant. As they spent more time together, they realized they had a deep connection, bonding over their shared experiences of heartbreak and starting anew in October 2023.
Since then, the couple has been inseparable, making public appearances together at various events, including the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 32nd annual Academy Awards viewing party in West Hollywood, California, on March 10, 2024.
In a recent cover story for Glamour magazine in April 2024, Bush officially confirmed the relationship and broke her silence on her sexuality. She expressed her gratitude for finding love with Harris, saying, “I’ve never been happier, and I’ve never felt more myself.”
Bush and Harris’s love story is a testament to the power of friendship, self-discovery, and the beauty of finding love when least expected. As they continue to navigate their relationship, fans can’t help but be inspired by their journey and the joy they radiate together.
