Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris Make Red Carpet Debut With Harris' Children
The couple, who began dating in 2023, attended a charity gala in New York with Harris' two young children, marking their first public appearance together as a family.
Actress Sophia Bush and former professional soccer player Ashlyn Harris recently attended a swank gala in New York City, marking their first red carpet appearance as a couple with Harris' children, Sloane, five, and Ocean, four. The event honored both Bush and Harris, highlighting their involvement with A Sense of Home, a charity focused on preventing homelessness.
The couple, who have been together since 2023, were seen posing with Harris' children. A backstage video captured Bush kneeling to help Sloane adjust her hair before the family stood together for photographs. Both Bush and Harris opted for velvet trouser suits, with Bush in black and Harris in grey.
This public appearance follows Harris' candid reflections on her divorce from ex-wife and fellow soccer star Ali Krieger. Harris shared that while she respected and did not regret the life built with Krieger, "it just wasn't for me." She emphasized her continued respect for Krieger as the mother of their children and expressed gratitude for their current happiness and ability to co-parent.
Krieger and Harris were married in 2019, announced their separation in September 2023, and finalized their divorce in 2025. Meanwhile, Bush filed for divorce from her husband Grant Hughes in August 2023, after a marriage of 13 months.
Bush and Harris reportedly first met in 2019, but their romantic relationship began in October 2023, after both of their respective marriages had ended. Bush has addressed accusations of being a "home-wrecker," asserting that significant time and painful conversations were involved in the dissolution of her marriage and that efforts were made to navigate the process gracefully.
Harris has spoken about navigating the public attention surrounding the start of her relationship with Bush, stating the importance of being "a good human during a really hard season." Bush publicly announced her relationship with Harris and her identity as queer in an essay in August 2024, shortly before their red carpet debut in April 2024 at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
