Sophia Bush just dropped a love bomb bigger than your Aunt Mildred’s fruitcake. Our favorite Chicago P.D. star, now a seasoned 42, is looking back at her whirlwind romance with the retired soccer sensation, Ashlyn Harris. Yes, the same Ashlyn who can probably juggle a soccer ball better than you can juggle your morning coffee.
Let’s rewind to April: Sophia decided to make her grand debut as a queer icon and finally put those pesky dating rumors to rest. “Yes, world, I’m dating Ashlyn Harris,” she declared, probably while flipping her hair dramatically. The world gasped, jaws dropped, and Twitter went into a frenzy.
Now, here’s the juicy part. On her podcast, Work in Progress (which is basically therapy but with more celebrity gossip), Sophia spilled the beans about how this epic love story began. Picture this: Sophia, finding out her friends were trying to set Ashlyn up with someone else, morphs into a romantic superhero. “If she’s ready to date, she’s going on a date with me,” she declared, probably while striking a superhero pose.
Ashlyn’s reaction? Pure gold. “Hold the phone, I always thought you were straight,” she said, probably while holding an actual phone because, you know, dramatic effect. Sophia’s comeback? Even better: “I always thought you were happy. But we’re both single, what are we doing?” Touché, Sophia, touché.
The two were in stitches, laughing like hyenas at a comedy club. “Dude, I never looked at you as an option,” Sophia admitted, while Ashlyn probably nodded so hard she almost gave herself whiplash. And just like that, love bloomed amidst the laughter.
Their love story kicked off in late 2023, following Sophia’s split from husband Grant Hughes and Ashlyn’s split from wife Ali Krieger. It’s like a rom-com script, only better because it’s real life.
Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris: proving that sometimes, the best love stories start with a good laugh and a lot of surprises.
