Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris’ friendship evolved into a romantic relationship following their divorces from Grant Hughes and Ali Krieger. They have been discreetly nurturing their bond.

According to a source who spoke exclusively to We, Bush and Harris connected over their shared experiences of going through breakups and having to begin anew in October 2023, just one month into their relationship.

In August 2023, Us Magazine confirmed that Bush and Hughes decided to end their marriage after 13 months. According to court documents obtained by Us, Bush filed for divorce from the entrepreneur and stated that their date of separation was June 27, just weeks after their first wedding anniversary.

On the other hand, in October 2023, Harris’ ex-wife Krieger implied that her spouse had been unfaithful during their marriage. She compared her situation to Beyoncé’s 'Lemonade' era, a visual album that appears to detail Beyoncé's experience with her husband Jay-Z's infidelity, which was released after Harris filed for divorce.

Harris made it clear that she was devoted to Krieger and shut down any rumors in a heartfelt Instagram post in November 2023.

Their relationship has thrived despite the rumors and they have chosen to keep it private. Read on to learn more about their journey together.
