Sophia Bush settles divorce from Grant Hughes after coming out as bisexual and dating Ashlyn Harris

Sophia Bush has settled her divorce from Grant Hughes following their August 2023 split and amid her new romance with Ashlyn Harris.

The One Tree Hill star, 42, wed Hughes in 2022 and they were married for 13 months before splitting.

Later that year she debuted her romance with former soccer player Harris, 39, who shares two children with ex Ali Krieger.

Court documents obtained by TMZ show the former couple entered into a confidential settlement on December 30, 2024. 

Bush was previously married to One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray from 2005-2006. 

In June 2024, Bush recalled a conversation with ‘one of her best friends’ that helped her realize she is bisexual following her divorce.

While appearing on her Work in Progress podcast, the One Tree Hill alum, 41, opened up about a chat with one of her closest pals, who suggested she may not ‘like men.’

‘One of of my best friends looked at me and was like, ‘I gotta say, that was just painful to watch, and I’m so glad you’re getting out of it,” she recalled of ending her year-long marriage in 2023. 

Bush then noted that her friend bluntly dropped that they didn’t ‘actually think’ she was into men. 

Prior to the chat, Bush said she did not feel she could identify as queer because she was primarily involved with men.

After speaking with her friend, she said she had a ‘revolutionary f**king idea’ about her sexuality. 

‘The queer community has been my home and is the home of my whole family since I was old enough to understand,’ she said. ‘Uncle Tony had a boyfriend and not a girlfriend. 

Bush continued: ‘I would never want to hurt the people I care the most about who’ve been in this fight for liberation for so long. [I told myself I was] gonna get out of the way. ‘And then, it was like, “Well, maybe I don’t have to get out of the way. Maybe I just get to like who I like.”‘

In April, Bush revealed in an personal essay for Glamour magazine that she now identifies as queer; seen in June 2024

In April, Bush, who is dating Ashlyn Harris, revealed in an personal essay for Glamour magazine that she now identifies as queer. 

The Chicago PD actress admitted that she is indeed ‘in love’ with Harris whom she became friends with in 2019 then started a romantic relationship with in October 2023.

‘I didn’t expect to find love in this support system,’ began the star who noted that her bond with Harris was rare and beautiful. ‘I don’t know how else to say it other than: I didn’t see it until I saw it.’

Also in her interview the One Tree Hill star noted that she had told her previous partners that she was attracted to women.

As far as falling for Ashlyn, who is a former soccer player, she said it was a new frontier.
