In a recent episode of her podcast “Work in Progress,” Sophia Bush shared the story of how she started dating Ashlyn Harris. The actress, who began seeing the former US Women’s National Team player in October 2023, described the experience of asking Harris out for the first time.

In her podcast, she shared that her friends had been attempting to matchmake her with Harris, but she expressed reluctance if Harris wasn’t ready yet. Later on, Bush disclosed Harris’ response, stating, “She exclaimed, ‘Wait a minute. I thought you were straight?’ To which I replied, ‘I assumed you were content.’ But since we’re both currently unattached, why not explore the possibilities?”

During August 2023, the actress initiated divorce proceedings against her husband, entrepreneur Grant Hughes, who they had married in July 2022. Simultaneously, in September 2023, Harris filed for divorce from his former spouse and soccer player Ali Krieger.

Sophia Bush has shared the reason behind her decision to publicly identify as LGBT and discusses her relationship with Ashlyn Harris, a former US soccer player, in an essay for Glamour magazine.
