Former soccer superstar Ashlyn Harris, aged 38, decided to blow the divorce whistle on her marriage with Ali Krieger back in October 2023. Since then, she’s been kicking it off the field with none other than Sophia Bush. Oh, the plot twists!
Now, here’s the kicker: Ashlyn and Ali have two adorable pint-sized humans—daughter Sloane, 3, and son Ocean, 2. Picture this: a Women’s Health panel, Ashlyn being all zen and deep, reflecting on the “really hard” divorce, like it’s a tricky penalty shot in extra time.
“Divorce? Oh, it’s like trying to dribble a ball on a field of Legos,” Ashlyn quipped. “I’m just surfing these emotional waves, realizing I can only control my own surfboard. Can’t do much about everyone else’s wipeouts or those pesky beachside critics. So here I am, just owning my own beach bod, staying present, and being fabulously human.”
When it came to her kiddos, she turned into Momma Bear, protector of cubs from emotional thunderstorms. “My storm doesn’t have to be theirs,” she said, channeling her inner weatherwoman.
“It’s like trying to juggle flaming soccer balls,” she continued, possibly with an imaginary fire extinguisher on hand. “Going through a divorce with two tiny humans, ensuring they don’t see the emotional monsoon. It’s the ultimate endurance test—no medals, just sanity points.”
