Sophia Bush celebrates first pride with new love Ashlyn Harris

Sophia Bush celebrated her first Pride Month with her new girlfriend, Ashlyn Harris. On Sunday, the "One Tree Hill" alum reposted a heartfelt message on her Instagram Story that read, “Pride is important because someone tonight still believes they’re better off dead than being themselves.” 

Bush added her own sentiments, writing, “You are perfect. No matter how long it might take, you’ll find your people. And they will help you find more and more of yourself. It’s worth it. You’re worth it.” She also shared a makeup-free photo of herself wearing a rainbow-colored robe, captioned with a Pride flag emoji.

The actress came out as queer in April, six months after her relationship with Harris was confirmed by Page Six in October 2023. At the time, Bush explained that she "didn't expect to find love" with the former soccer star while going through her divorce from ex-husband Grant Hughes, whom she was married to for a year. “I don’t know how else to say it other than: I didn’t see it until I saw it,”
