Ashlyn Harris’ Divorce Proceedings Give More Insight Into Her Dating Timeline With Sophia Bush

Less than a month ago, Sophia Bush cleared the air when she spoke out for the first time about her unexpected romance with soccer star Ashlyn Harris. In her candid essay for Glamour, the One Tree Hill star talked about the end of her previous marriage, how she met Harris, and how their romance blossomed from a friendship to much more.

Now, with more details coming out about Harris and her ex-wife Ali Krieger’s divorce proceedings, fans will be shining a light on their timeline all over again.

According to Us Weekly, Krieger, who had been married to Harris since 2019, secretly filed for divorce in a separate legal action in New Jersey on December 1, 2023. Three months prior, on September 19, 2023, Harris had filed for divorce first, but in Florida, not in their residing state of New Jersey.

Given their lack of residence there, Harris’ file was deemed incorrect, and Krieger’s suit will be the one moving forward.

In Krieger’s filing, she asked the court to implement a “legal and residential custody arrangement and parenting time that protects the best interests of their two children.” The soccer stars share their daughter Sloane, 3, and son Ocean, 1.

Krieger, who cited “irreconcilable differences” as their reason for splitting, is also asking for Harris to pay her child support and legal fees as well as dividing their assets and liabilities equally.

So while it’s hard to understand why Harris would file in the incorrect state, it’s safe to say she might’ve been in a rush to take legal action. After all, it’s reported that she and Bush started dating in October.

But, before we make too many speculations about timelines potentially overlapping, Bush did address these rumors in her essay.

According to Bush, her friendship with Harris blossomed specifically because they were both going through breakups at the same time. “Ashlyn [Harris], whom I’d first met in 2019 and who was in the process of figuring out her own split from her wife,” Bush wrote. “She’d been such a kind ear for those of us who opened up about our problems during a shared weekend of speaking engagements at a fancy conference in Cannes, and soon it became clear that she needed our ears too.”

The same goes for any overlap accusations for Bush’s ex, Grant Hughes. “There were accusations of being a home-wrecker,” she wrote. “The ones who said I’d left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women—my partners have known what I’m into for as long as I have (so that’s not it, y’all, sorry!).”
