\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tSophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris\u2019 friendship turned romantic on the heels of their respective divorces from Grant Hughes and Ali Krieger, and they\u2019ve been quietly building their relationship. A source exclusively told Us Weekly Bush and Harris \u201cbonded over their breakups and having to start over\u201d in October 2023, one month after they began dating. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
She continued, \u201cIt\u2019s one of the hardest things I\u2019ve ever had to go through \u2014 dealing with a divorce with two very young children and not letting them see or feel my storm and rain. It\u2019s a really big test.\u201d<\/p>\n
The duo first met in 2010 while competing on the USWNT, got engaged in 2019 and married that same year. Harris filed for divorce<\/a> from the two-time World Cup champ in September 2023, and Krieger submitted her own filing<\/a> in December that year.<\/p>\nIn November 2023, Harris felt compelled to speak out about the online hate she was receiving after her and Krieger\u2019s split. At the time, rumors of a romance with Bush, 42, were prevalent, but both parties have maintained that they were out of their respective relationships before getting together romantically. (Bush split from ex Grant Hughes<\/strong> after a little more than one year of marriage. The former spouses wed in June 2022 and went their separate ways<\/a> in August 2023.)<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe online hate that has happened since has been one of the most personally devastating experiences of my life,\u201d Harris wrote in part via Instagram<\/a>. \u201cWords matter. The cheering on abuse, the people clamoring to encourage me to commit suicide, and the cruel words spoken about my children, and who I am as a mother? Those words matter.\u201d<\/p>\nBush confirmed her relationship with Harris in April after coming out as queer<\/a> in an essay for Glamour<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cAs I came into myself, I already felt it was my home. I think I\u2019ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum,\u201d she wrote in the magazine\u2019s cover story. \u201cRight now I think the word that best defines it is queer. I can\u2019t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
