Sophia Bush, the talented star of One Tree Hill, has been captivating audiences since 2002 with her roles in films, podcasts, video games, and theatre shows. The 41-year-old actress recently made headlines after proudly coming out as queer earlier this year, following months of dating US soccer star Ashlyn Harris.

Ashlyn Harris, 38, is a former US soccer ace and two-time World Cup-winning goalkeeper. She had a successful 12-year career, starting in 2010 with Washington Freedom before joining the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in 2014. Harris played for teams like Washington Spirit, Orlando Pride, and NJ/NY Gotham FC before retiring in 2022.

Harris is no stranger to the spotlight, having been in the public eye for her dating life. She was previously in a long-term relationship with fellow soccer star Ali Krieger, whom she married in 2019 and adopted two children with by 2022. However, the couple divorced in 2023.

Following her split from Krieger, Harris found love with Sophia Bush in October 2023. The pair have been happily together ever since, with rumors of their relationship circulating online.

Sophia Bush came out as queer in a self-written article for Glamour magazine, expressing her gratitude for the love and acceptance she has found in the queer community. She described her sexuality as existing on a spectrum and embraced the term “queer” with a smile, feeling at home in her newfound identity.

Despite her recent relationship with Harris, Bush has had two previous marriages, first to Chad Michael Murray in 2005 for only five months before divorcing in 2006. She later married Grant Hughes in 2020, but the couple got divorced 13 months later in an amicable split.

Throughout her dating history, Bush has been linked to several high-profile figures, including Jon Foster, James Lafferty, Austin Nichols, Dan Fredinburg, Jesse Lee Soffer, and now Ashlyn Harris. After a series of relationships and breakups, it seems that Bush has found happiness with Harris, her latest love interest and former friend.
