AceShowbiz - Sophia Bush is getting a head start in her love life. The actress is reportedly dating U.S. Women's National Team soccer player Ashlyn Harris amid their respective divorces, which have not been finalized just yet.
The rumored couple was seen together in photos posted to social media by Canadian soccer player Selenia Iacchelli last week. The twosome appeared to hang out together with friends during what seems to be a girls' night out. A source tells Page Six of their relationship, "It's very new. They are definitely a couple."
Another source from inside their social circle dishes to PEOPLE, "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. This is so recent, and they are both beginning new chapters."
"Although it's new information to the public, Ashlyn and Ali's divorce began months ago and they have been living apart since the summer," the insider adds, noting that "there is no salacious story" when it comes to Sophia and Ashlyn's recent coupling, "though the public may want there to be."
Their dating rumors surface just two months after Sophia filed for divorce from her husband Grant Hughes after only 13 months of marriage. She was previously married to her former "One Tree Hill" co-star Chad Michael Murray which only lasted for five months.
As for Ashlyn, she married fellow soccer pro Ali Krieger in 2019 after dating since 2010. They adopted a daughter, Sloane Phillips Krieger-Harris, in 2021 and a son, Ocean Maeve Krieger-Harris, in 2022. On September 19 of this year, Ashlyn filed for divorce from his wife.
Though she's rumored to be in a same sex relationship now, Sophia has never been openly talking about being gay or bisexual. Back in 2011, when responding to a speculation about her sexuality, the 41-year-old actress insisted via X, formerly known as Twitter, "I'm straight, but if it's true that knowing a gay person can change opinions about gay rights, then think of me as being as gay as can be!"
