Sofia Bush gained the attention of the foreign press in August 2023 when, after a year of marriage with Grant Hughes, filed for divorce. Shortly afterwards, in autumn, it was already public knowledge that the actress was in a new relationship, with a woman.
The truth is that recently, eight months after getting divorced, Sophia Bush was on the cover of the magazine Glam and gave an intimate interview, in which he ended up making some revelations.
The actress who became recognized for playing Erin Lindsay in the famous series Chicago P.D.began by explaining to the publication what led to his divorce and how he met, in a profound way, his current partner, the former football player who represented the American team, Ashlyn Harris.
It all happened in a support group of women who talked about “problems they faced in their own homes“. “Having this community changed everything. We really engage in support. It was tragic and difficult. But it was also beautiful. There were moments of incredible sadness because no one signs up to get married thinking it will end.”he explained.

“Now I can love her”
Sophia Bush recalled how hard it was to hear and read all the criticism that came out when they both started to be together as more than friends. “People watching from the outside didn’t know how long it took, how many painful conversations there were. A lot of effort has been made to be gracious with other people’s processes, their times, obligations and feelings. (…) The online rumor started in the most horrible ways. There were outright lies. Violent threats. There were accusations of being a home wrecker.”he said.
The actress considered that the entire experience lived at this time was “brutal”. “Just because I didn’t want to process my discoveries in real time on social media and explain them to the world, didn’t mean the journey wasn’t long, careful and exhausting.”he said, according to the publication.
After going through this entire defamatory process, Bush has no doubt that he is on the side of the right person. “Fall in love with her [Ashlyn Harris] it stitched up some of my childhood wounds and made me much closer to my mother. (…) Now I can love her. How lucky am I?”it reads.
“The word that best defines me is queer”
After dotting the i’s about her relationship, Sophia Bush ended her interview with a ‘cry’ for freedom. “I experienced so much safety, respect, and love in the queer community, as an ally my entire life, that when I came back to myself, I felt like this was my home. I think I always knew there was a spectrum to my sexuality. At the moment I think the word that best defines me is queer. I can’t say that without smiling, actually. And this is very good. (…) I finally feel like I can breathe. I don’t think I can explain how profound this is.”he confessed, explaining that his “sexual or gender identity does not correspond to the normative social standard”, according to the Infopédia dictionary.
