Sophia Bush is finally setting the record straight about her relationship with Ashlyn Harris, dishing on Wednesday, Oct. 21, on “Call Her Daddy” about their romance after brutal affair claims hit the internet. This wasn’t just some casual chat; Bush pulled back the curtain on the whole timeline, addressing the speculation head-on.
The Real Timeline, From Divorces to Dinner
Forget the gossip, Bush laid out the actual timeline for everyone. She filed for divorce from Grant Hughes back in August 2023. Not long after, in September 2023, Harris also filed for divorce from Ali Krieger. Harris and Krieger were a power duo on the US Women’s National Team, even winning two FIFA Women’s World Cup titles in 2015 and 2019, and share two kids, Sloane, 5, and Ocean, 4. So, when Bush and Harris had their first dinner, Bush said it was “two people who had filed for divorce and lived in separate residences from their exes went to dinner.” When “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper pressed about any overlap with previous partners, Bush confirmed, “I can say that,” meaning there was no overlap. Still, Bush admitted she wishes they’d hit pause, saying the first date should have happened “six weeks later” to give everyone more time. Page Six confirmed their romance in October 2023, just a month after Harris’s divorce filing.
Why the Rumors Were So ‘Ugly’
The internet can be a wild place, and Bush opened up about how these affair rumors totally messed with their careers. She put it bluntly, saying “it was very clearly hard for everyone, and it became like a sport, and that was ugly.” Despite the public scrutiny, Bush isn’t backing down from her reality. She’s not trying to change anyone’s mind who has already made it up, stating, “What I can’t do is change my reality for anyone else. I also can’t be my own personal definition of insanity, which is to try the same thing over and over again with no result. I’m never going to change anybody’s mind who made it up.” Even with all the noise, the couple has clearly moved past it. They even got married last year in a super intimate ceremony in Upstate New York. Bush described it as “perfect,” recalling, “My best friend was coming to visit with her kid, and we were like, ‘Cool, so this weekend, and you’ll do it?’ And then her best friend came, and we literally prepped food, put it on the smoker, got married in the backyard, had dinner. And it was the best, most perfect day.”
