Sophia Bush, Ashlyn Harris Reveal They Privately Got Married
Sophia Bush Reacts to Ashlyn Harris Revealing She Wore a Jockstrap to Oscars After-Party
Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris have peace of mind.
Nearly three years after the couple started dating, the pair announced they tied the knot in a private ceremony held in Upstate New York in summer 2025.
“When you get to this stage in your life, you begin to unpack what’s yours and what’s always sort of been for everyone else,” Bush told Vogue in an article published Sept. 30, noting of Harris’ soccer career, “You’ve been playing in stadiums in front of 60,000 people since you were 15 or 16, and I started playing a character for tens of millions of people when I was 21."
The One Tree Hill star added, "It’s such a privilege to be able to perform as an athlete or an actor, but it also comes with certain costs.”
Which is why when it came down to their wedding, they decided to keep it as intimate as possible, with Harris' Sloane, 5, and Ocean, 4—who the soccer star shares with ex-wife Ali Krieger—serving as the perfect plus ones.
“The kids were just running and happy," Harris explained, "and we picked flowers from the property and our daughter Sloane was holding them."
As Harris noted, she wanted didn't want her kids to be anything other than happy.
"It was so fun for them, because it wasn’t this pressure-filled day that’s too much for young kids,” she continued. "It was so precious, and zero pressure. I will never forget it, and I think wedding days sometimes aren’t like that."

Indeed, for Bush—who split from ex Grant Hughes in 2023 and was briefly married to Chad Michael Murray in the early aughts—being surrounded by their loved ones served as the highlight.
“We got to have personal experiences with everyone we love, and once we got through all of those, how do we put it out? Because I don’t want to keep sitting on panels or in interviews and being like, ‘My partner,’” Bush added, explaining directly to Harris, “You’re not my partner, you know? You’re my wife. And it feels so amazing to say that.”
In 2024, Bush detailed how she and Harris were able to support each other during their respective divorces and as they navigated changes in their lives.
"I didn’t expect to find love in this support system," the actress wrote in an April 2024 essay for Glamour. "I don’t know how else to say it other than: I didn’t see it until I saw it. And I think it’s very easy not to see something that’s been in front of your face for a long time when you’d never looked at it as an option and you had never been looked at as an option. What I saw was a friend with her big, happy life. And now I know she thought the same thing about me."
