A complete timeline of Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris' relationship

In her Glamour essay, Bush wrote that she and Harris first met in 2019.

While she didn't elaborate on the details of when or where, that year the two were photographed together, speaking to comedian Travon Free at a US Women's Soccer Team Brunch in Los Angeles on August 4, 2019.

Both the actor and soccer star spoke on a panel titled "Building Brand Partnerships from Angel City FC to Gotham FC," with Bush being introduced as an Angel City Football Club investor.

Afterward, Bush shared photos from the weekend event on her Instagram page.

Reflecting on the event in her Glamour essay, Bush wrote that during the weekend, Harris had "been such a kind ear to those of us who opened up about our problems" and implied that at that point, Harris' relationship troubles had begun, adding, "Soon it became clear that she needed our ears too."

A month later and back in America, Bush and Harris were publicly seen together during a World Cup watch party.

In one photo from the evening, they smiled for cameras alongside Harris' teammate, Sydney Leroux.

Seven weeks after marking her first anniversary with Grant Hughes on Instagram by calling their marriage the "best decision" of her life, Bush began proceedings for their legal separation, People reported.

Bush and Hughes, who told Vogue they met a decade ago on a New Year's trip to Nicaragua, tied the knot at the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June 2022.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Harris submitted her petition stating that their union was "irretrievably broken." The news of their split wasn't reported until almost a month later, on October 11.

The pair, who met as USWNT teammates in 2010, share two adopted children: a daughter, Sloane, and a son, Ocean, according to People.

In October 2023, People reported that Bush and Harris were dating, citing an anonymous source close to the couple.

"After being friends for years, and running in the same social circles, Sophia and Ashlyn went out on their first dinner date a couple of weeks ago," one anonymous source told People. "This is so recent, and they are both beginning new chapters."

At the time, representatives for Bush and Harris did not respond to People's request for comment.

The same anonymous source told People that Krieger and Harris' divorce "began months ago," and that they had been living separately.

In an October 2023 Instagram post, Krieger posted several photos with the caption, "Preparing for playoffs while in my Beyoncé lemonade era."

Fans have long speculated that Beyoncé's 2016 album references her husband, Jay Z, cheating on her. And some took Krieger's post as a potential allegation that Harris had cheated on her — presumably with Bush.

Bush, however, responded to the "home-wrecker" accusations in her Glamour cover story.

"What felt like seconds after I started to see what was in front of me, the online rumor mill began to spit in the ugliest ways," Bush wrote. "There were blatant lies. Violent threats. There were accusations of being a home-wrecker. 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!)."

In an Instagram post, Harris addressed the end of her marriage to Krieger, denying that she had cheated on her. The post did not mention Bush. In it, Harris wrote that she and Krieger planned to keep the news of their separation private until the end of Krieger's season, before it became public.

"Let me be clear: I did not step out on my marriage," she wrote in the post. "I was always faithful in my marriage, if not always totally happy. Like in many partnerships, there was work and therapy and processing done. None of this happened on a whim. We spent the entire summer working to tackle the separation and divorce steps outlined for us by our therapists, lawyers, and our shared agency."

Gallery owner Michelle Tillou shared a photo from Art Basel Miami, posing alongside Harris and Bush and captioning the post "@artbasel selfies."

The couple were seen together with actor Eric McCormack in a photo, marking their first time at a public event as a couple, People reported.

Bush's Glamour story marked the first time she publicly addressed her relationship with Harris.

"Falling in love with her has sutured some of my own childhood wounds, and made me so much closer to my own mother," Bush wrote. "Seeing Ashlyn choose to not simply survive, but thrive, for her babies has been the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed a friend do. And now I get to love her. How lucky am I?"

Bush also wrote that she felt the word "queer" best described her sexuality and reflected on her public coming out process.

"Would I like to make the public part of this journey a choice for myself, and not have it taken from my lips and set ablaze by gossip blogs and bottom-feeder online bots? Of course," she wrote.

"I'm very aware, though, as we discuss bullying and harassment and being outed without consent — that I'm incredibly lucky this happened in my adulthood," she continued. "I really love who I am, at this age and in this moment."
