It seems that love may be in the air. Former-pro football player Ashlyn Harris has reportedly started dating actress Sophia Bush, just weeks after filing for divorce from ex-wife, Ali Krieger.
Two months after splitting from ex-husband of 13 months Grant Hughes, the One Tree Hill star has been confirmed by People to be dating Harris.
An unnamed source from within the pair’s social circle said: “After being friends for years, and running in the same social circles, Bush and Harris went out on their first dinner date a couple of weeks ago. This is so recent, and they are both beginning new chapters.”
The insider clarified that “although it’s new information to the public, Harris and Krieger’s divorce began months ago and they have been living apart since the summer”.
Bush, who’s also known for roles in John Tucker Must Die, Chicago P.D. and Incredibles 2, was previously married to her One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray (2004-2005) and wed Hughes in July 2022.
Upon the announcement of Bush’s divorce to Hughes, a source close to the couple told People that “Sophia and Grant were friends for 10 years and bonded during COVID through their love of community service. They continue to run their nonprofit together and remain good friends.”
Harris and Krieger met while playing together for the United States National Team in 2010, before announcing their engagement in March 2019 and getting married in December of the same year. Harris filed for divorce in September 2023.
The reports of the Bush and Harris’ romance have been met with confusion and curiosity from the public, with one fan tweeting: “I can’t make it tonight I’m busy investigating the Ali Krieger/Ashlyn Harris/Sophia Bush timeline?”
