Ashlyn Harris Opens Up About Her Marriage to Ali Krieger: ‘No Intimacy, No Touch, Just Soccer and Chaos’

Former soccer star Ashlyn Harris recently spilled some piping hot tea about the end of her marriage to fellow soccer icon Ali Krieger, and let’s just say it wasn’t a rom-com in cleats. The two announced their split in October 2023 after four years of marriage, two kids, and apparently zero intimacy. That’s right—zero.

Therapy, But Make It Juicy
Ashlyn didn’t hold back during her latest episode of the Naked Sports podcast (appropriately named for this level of personal exposure). She got real about how her therapist called out her tendency to “sit and suffer,” which, let’s be honest, sounds like something you’d see on a mug at a yoga retreat.

“I was out here serving everyone but myself, like some kind of emotional butler,” Ashlyn admitted. “That’s probably the only reason the marriage lasted as long as it did.”

The ‘Open Marriage’ Hail Mary
In a plot twist straight out of a Netflix drama, Ashlyn revealed that she suggested an open marriage as a last-ditch effort to keep things afloat. Spoiler alert: it was a no from her.

“I was like, ‘What if we just… you know, opened things up?’” she shared, probably with the same enthusiasm one reserves for suggesting pineapple on pizza. “But nope, not for me, dude. That was my final attempt at making this work.”

Turns out, when your heart’s not in it, suggesting extra players on the field isn’t the game-changer you hope it’ll be.

The Real MVP: Soccer
If there was a third party in this relationship, it was soccer. And soccer was definitely winning. Ashlyn confessed that Ali’s dedication to the sport and their kids left little time—or energy—for, well, her.

“I wasn’t even on the bench; I wasn’t in the stadium,” Ashlyn quipped. “It was soccer, then the job, then the kids, and then, like, way down the priority list, there I was, waving a tiny flag, like, ‘Hey, remember me?’”

The Touchy Subject of No Touching
Here’s where things got awkward. Ashlyn shared that there was no intimacy in the marriage—at all.

“I didn’t feel connected emotionally, physically, or any-ally,” she said. “And honestly, it was embarrassing. How do you tell people your wife would rather do drills than, you know, hold your hand?”

When asked if Ali might disagree with her account, Ashlyn didn’t hesitate: “Nope. Facts are facts, people. We weren’t intimate. Period.”

The Whistle’s Been Blown
A marriage dominated by soccer, sacrifice, and a serious lack of snuggling. Ashlyn’s candor is both refreshing and a reminder that even the pros fumble sometimes. Here’s hoping both stars find their footing—on and off the field.
