Sophia Bush, the dazzling star who made us all want to move to Tree Hill, is having one heck of a Pride Month party. And guess what? She’s doing it all with a megawatt smile because she’s officially out and proud! The 41-year-old actress, who once made our hearts swoon on “One Tree Hill,” is now swooning over someone newβ€”her fabulous partner, Ashlyn Harris.

In a delightful episode of her β€œWork in Progress” podcast, Sophia spilled the beans about a jaw-dropping chat that made her go, “Wait, what?!” This chat, dear readers, was like a lightning bolt of self-awareness at the end of her marriage to Grant Hughes.

Picture this: Sophia and her friend are having a heart-to-heart. And then, BAM! Her friend drops a truth bomb so big, it should have come with a warning label. β€œHonestly, watching you in that marriage was like watching a bad reality show,” her friend said, via Page Six. β€œAnd seriously, I don’t think you even like men.”

Cue the dramatic pause and the sound of a million lightbulbs going off in Sophia’s head. She then reminisced about a β€œgorgeous French exchange student” she once had a crush on. But, like many of us, Sophia thought, β€œNah, I can’t be into girls. I’ve dated so many dudes!”

But that conversation? It was the “revolutionary f-cking idea” she needed. It was like discovering chocolate-covered bacon for the first timeβ€”a game-changer.

β€œThe queer community has always been my jam,” she explained, with a sparkle in her eye. β€œUncle Tony? Total legend. Had a boyfriend before it was cool.”

Sophia didn’t want to upset the people she loved the most, who had been fighting for LGBTQ+ rights longer than she’d been mastering hair flips. β€œI thought I should just step aside,” she said. β€œBut then it hit meβ€”why step aside when I can join the dance party? Maybe I get to love who I love, and that’s fabulous!”

Sophia Bush’s Pride Month has been one for the books, filled with epiphanies, laughter, and a whole lot of love. Cheers to her and all the beautiful moments yet to come!
