Ali Krieger is currently putting her attention on her family after ending her relationship with Ashlyn Harris, who is now alleged to be in a romantic relationship with Sophia Bush.

On Wednesday, October 18, the 39-year-old athlete took to Instagram to post a photo with her children: two-year-old daughter Sloane and 14-month-old son Ocean. In the snapshot, Krieger can be seen smiling while adding a sticker that says "My happy place."

Bush, 41, and Harris, 38, have recently been reported to be in a relationship through various media outlets. It was revealed that Harris removed the phrase "proud wife" from her Instagram bio one month prior to making headlines with the One Tree Hill alum. Krieger and Harris first met in 2010 while playing for the USWNT and after dating for eight years, they got engaged and got married in December 2019.

"When we initially crossed paths, it was her unwavering confidence and authentic self-expression that immediately captivated me. I found myself yearning to spend every moment in her company and bask in her presence," shared Krieger with Sports Illustrated in January 2020, reflecting on the inception of their love story. "We established the groundwork of a profound friendship, which naturally blossomed into a profound romance. Her absolute fearlessness and genuine nature propelled me to embrace my truest self, and that's when I realized she would hold an indispensable place in my life."

"In November 2022, via Instagram, she expressed her gratitude and deep love for her wife Ali and their children Sloane and Ocean, acknowledging that they give her a sense of purpose beyond her professional life. She aspires to continuously be the best wife and mother she can be and eagerly looks forward to showing up for them every day."

"Following the news about Harris' relationship with Bush, Krieger has resumed posting on social media, sharing updates about her career and family. The only public response to the reports came from Bush's estranged husband, Grant Hughes, who wished her well in a statement."

"Grant's priority is Sophia's happiness and fulfillment, and he fully supports her in whatever brings her joy," a spokesperson for Hughes, 41, informed Page Six on Wednesday, October 18, responding to inquiries about Bush's connection with Harris.

Bush and Hughes announced their separation in August, after being married for 13 months. As per court documents obtained by Us, Bush stated that their date of separation was June 27, which coincided with their first wedding anniversary. Since then, a reliable source revealed that Bush and Hughes have maintained a positive relationship.

"They continue to support each other, with no animosity, and believe it is better for them to remain friends. Their priority is the happiness of one another, alongside the flourishing of their nonprofit organization."
