Sophia Bush Confirms Relationship Rumors, Comes Out As Queer

In an emotional essay in Glamour, actor Sophia Bush came out as queer. Also, the stunning actor confirmed she’s in a relationship with retired US Women’s National Team soccer player Ashlyn Harris. “I sort of hate the notion of having to come out in 2024,” Bush wrote in a cover story for the fashion magazine.

“But I’m deeply aware that we are having this conversation in a year when we’re seeing the most aggressive attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community in modern history.” Bush noted that there were more than 500 anti-LGBTQ bills proposed in state legislatures in 2023.

Also, she said this motivated her to “give the act of coming out the respect and honor it deserves.” “I’ve experienced so much safety, respect, and love in the queer community,” she said. “As an ally all of my life, that, as I came into myself, I already felt it was my home.” 

“I think I’ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum,” Sophia Bush added. “Right now, I think the word that best defines it is queer.” Furthermore, Bush noted how the realization of her sexuality makes her feel. “I can’t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.”

Before the reveal, the “One Tree Hill” star was previously with entrepreneur Grant Hughes. However, she filed for divorce from him in August 2023. Rumors about Bush and Harris’ relationship first surfaced in October 2023. However, neither confirmed nor commented on the rumors. 

Afterward, the pair attended an Oscar viewing party together in March. In the essay, Sophia Bush addressed online rumors surrounding the timeline of her relationship with Harris. For context, fans claimed the two started dating before Harris divorced fellow soccer star Ali Krieger in September 2023.

POLL—Should Laws Be Enacted To Protect LGBTQ+ Individuals From Workplace Discrimination?

“Everyone that matters to me knows what’s true and what isn’t,” Bush wrote. “But even still, there’s a part of me that’s a ferocious defender who wants to correct the record piece by piece.” “But my better self, with her earned patience, has to sit back and ask, What’s the f— point? For who?” 

She added, “For internet trolls? No, thank you. I’ll spend my precious time doing things I love instead.” In addition, Bush said that after news about her and Harris became public, her mom told her about a weird call. She said that a friend called and said, “Well, this can’t be true. I mean, your daughter isn’t gay.”

“My mom felt that it was obvious, from the way her friend emphasized the word, that she meant it judgmentally,” Bush wrote. “And you know what my mom said? ‘Oh honey, I think she’s pretty gay. And she’s happy.'” Bush also wrote about how she feels coming out of the closet.

She wrote that she felt like she was wearing a weighted vest that she could finally put down. “I finally feel like I can breathe,” Bush wrote. The talented actor noted that she turned 41 last summer amid the relationship drama and rumors. 

“I heard the words I was saying to my best friend as they came out of my mouth,” she said. Sophia Bush said she felt like that was her first birthday. “This year was my very first birthday,” she said.
