Actress Sophia Bush Marries Soccer Star Ashlyn Harris in Secret

Actress Sophia Bush and former professional soccer player Ashlyn Harris exchanged vows in a private ceremony during the summer of 2025.

Their marriage was kept under wraps for over a year, with the news only surfacing in September 2026 through an excerpt from Bush's forthcoming memoir, "And I Will Tell You Mine: Notes from a Life in Progress," published by Vogue.

The couple, who first met in 2019, developed their relationship after filing for respective divorces. Bush separated from entrepreneur Grant Hughes in August 2023, while Harris finalized her divorce from Ali Krieger in September 2023. Harris and Krieger are parents to two adopted children, making Bush a stepmother.

Their relationship faced significant public criticism and cheating rumors following its revelation in October 2023. Harris shared that the online hate was "unbearably painful" and had a severe impact on her mental health, asserting her faithfulness during her marriage.

Bush and Harris made their public debut as a couple at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscars party in March 2024, followed by their first red carpet appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April 2024.

Bush expressed deep admiration for Harris's integrity, particularly her dedication to her children. The actress noted that falling in love with Harris has also positively impacted her relationship with her own mother.

Their intimate wedding ceremony in upstate New York included Harris's children, creating a cherished family moment.
