The new couple Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris’ connection reportedly blossomed after appearing together on a panel at the Cannes Lions festival. Bush, a lifelong soccer fan, is also an investor in Angel City FC and has known Harris for years.
Hollywood actress Sophia Bush, 41, and renowned soccer star Ashlyn Harris, 37, have reportedly found love in each other’s company following the surprising ends of their respective marriages. Bush’s brief 13-month union with Grant Hughes came to a close in August, coinciding with Harris filing for divorce from her wife of nearly four years, Ali Krieger, in September.
The genesis of Bush and Harris‘s romantic connection is said to trace back to their joint appearance on a panel at the Cannes Lions advertising festival. The actress, known for her role in “One Tree Hill,” shared a photo from the event on Instagram, captioning it with affectionate words for Harris and another friend.
Beyond their shared public appearance, Bush’s involvement in the soccer world as an investor in Angel City FC has deepened her connection with Harris, who plays as a goalie for Gotham FC. This connection is further underscored by Bush’s long-standing friendship with Harris, a bond that has developed over the years.
Notably, Harris and Krieger, both teammates for Gotham FC, are navigating the complexities of divorce while being parents to two adopted children, 2-year-old daughter Sloane and 1-year-old son Ocean. The divorce filing suggests an amicable resolution with an anticipated settlement to address financial matters.
The intricate details of their personal and professional lives weave a narrative of unexpected connections and shared passions, providing a nuanced perspective on the complexities of love, relationships, and navigating life in the public eye.
