Sophia Bush and soccer sensation Ashlyn Harris appear to have been flirtatious with each other months before ending their respective marriages.
The timeline of their romance is being called into question as images of them together from the summer have emerged.
Sophia, 41, and Ashlyn, 37, spent time together in Cannes in June, when they each participated in a panel about women in sports.
The women were seated side by side on stage as they spoke during the event.
Bush later posted four snapshots on social media with Harris.
One telling photo shows the former One Tree Hill actress touching the athlete’s arm as she throws her head back in laughter.

Another outtake from the trip featured the ladies smiling as Ashlyn wrapped an arm around Sophia’s shoulder.
Sophia and Ashlyn were also together in July as they both attended the La Copa Mundial Femenina watch party in Los Angeles.
Ashlyn filed for divorce from wife Ali Krieger on August 4 while Sophia also ended her marriage with Grant Hughes that month.
However, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that Krieger was ‘blindsided’ by the split, with Harris telling her their marriage was over with no discussion after her return from Cannes.
The person dished: ‘Apparently, Ashlyn came back right after Cannes, ended their marriage and said there was nothing to even speak about regarding it. Just over.’
A video shared on Instagram by bourbon brand Johnnie Walker showed the new couple smiling and giggling together during the panel in France.
At one point Bush reached over to touch Harris as they discussed ‘the impact that deep, creative partnerships can make to challenge societal systems and narratives.’
Despite the questionable optics, the pair claims they have only been dating for two weeks, with a source telling People that there is ‘no salacious story’ behind their new relationship or impending divorces.

Bush was spotted with Harris over a week before news broke that they are in the midst of a new romance.
In a video and photos that surfaced Tuesday, the activist was seen hanging out with Harris and a group of friends as they watched Megan Rapinoe play her last regular season home game on Friday, October 6 in Seattle, Washington.
The video shows Bush and Harris walking side-by-side onto Lumen Field after the match before enjoying a celebratory chat with Rapinoe.
In polaroid photos shared by Kari Fleischauer, a higher-up at Angel City Football Club, the lovebirds posed with their heads pressed close together for a group shot.
