Sophia Bush appears to be wearing a wedding band when with girlfriend Ashlyn Harris at a gala
Sophia Bush and her girlfriend Ashlyn Harris made a stylish duo while attending the 2025 American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala in New York City on Wednesday. The One Tree Hill star, 42, and the former soccer player, 39, matched in black looks for the star-studded event, held at Cipriani. Sophia — who recently sparked engagement rumors with Ashlyn — showed off her toned arms and flashed a hint of her midriff in a black dress with a slit along the torso. She accessorized with statement silver earrings and a chic clutch. She also appeared to have a wedding band on her ring finger. Meanwhile Ashlyn opted for an oversized black blazer with a low-cut black top underneath and matching pants. She wore black gloves on her hands while posing with her arm around Sophia. Sophia and Ashlyn — who previously denied cheating on her ex-wife with Sophia — publicly confirmed their romance in April 2024 when the actress came out as queer and revealed she was in love with the soccer star.

Earlier this month Ashlyn gushed about Sophia while appearing on the Second Wind podcast. 'What I love so much about her is she makes me feel the way I only thought we read about in books,' she said. 'She holds up a mirror and makes me feel like I'm the best human, I'm the best mother, and it's exactly what I needed and what I need to heal so much pain and trauma and grief in my life.' Harris co-parents two adopted children - daughter Sloane, 4; and son Ocean, 2 - with estranged wife Ali Krieger, whom she filed for divorce from in September 2023 after four years of marriage. Meanwhile Sophia finalized her divorce from second husband Grant Hughes in January. She filed for divorce from him in August 2023 after 13 months of marriage. Bush and the Wide Open podcaster began dating in October 2023, but they spoke on the same feminist panel during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June 2023. Rumors began swirling immediately that Harris was already dating Bush with some claiming she had cheated on Krieger. Harris broke her silence in November to deny cheating on her ex-wife in a lengthy statement. 'People have run with a narrative that's unbearably painful,' she said. 'Not all marriages last forever. Our did not. For many reasons. And while I understand that the false narrative about why might feel juicer or make a batter [sic] headline, they are simply not true. 'Let me be clear: I did not step out on my marriage. I was always faithful in my marriage, if not always totally happy. Like in many partnerships, there was work and therapy and processing done. None of this happened on a whim.' Sophia and Ashlyn publicly confirmed their romance in April 2024 when the actress came out as queer and revealed she was in love with the soccer star In February they sparked engagement rumors, after Sophia was seen flashing a ring on her wedding finger. She sported an ornate gold and silver ring as she posed at the TIME Women of the Year Gala in West Hollywood. Speaking to Glamour magazine last year, Bush revealed in her own words that she now identifies as queer: 'I feel like I can finally breathe,' she said. And 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 after her marriage with Grant fell apart and Ashlyn left her wife. '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.' As far as falling for Ashlyn, she said it was a new frontier. '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,' she shared. 'What I saw was a friend with her big, happy life. And now I know she thought the same thing about me,' said the star. Bush added that the road to her romantic relationship with Harris was long after they met in 2019 and spent years becoming friends: 'People looking in from the outside weren't privy to just how much time it took, how many painful conversations were had,' said Sophia. 'A lot of effort was made to be graceful with other people's processing, their time and obligations, and their feelings.' Wednesday's ballet gala was also attended by Alec Baldwin, 67, and wife Hilaria, 41. The yoga instructor put her toned legs on display in a black and white sleeveless mini dress. She added height to her look with a pair of black heels. Meanwhile Alec looked handsome in a black suit. The pair looked in good spirits, despite the fact that their reality TV show, The Baldwins, has not yet been renewed for a second season, after it was blasted by critics as being a 'snoozy infomercial.'

Ashlyn Harris Says Girlfriend Sophia Bush Doesn't See 'My Pain and Scars as an Issue,' Views Them as 'a Superpower'
Ashlyn Harris is opening up about the love and support she receives from girlfriend Sophia Bush. On the latest episode of the Second Wind Podcast, the former USWNT player, 39, reflected on how the One Tree Hill alum, 42, has helped her to heal following her 2023 split from ex-wife Ali Krieger, with whom she shares two kids — daughter Sloane, 4, and son Ocean, 2. 'What I love so much about her is she makes me feel the way I only thought we read about in books,' Harris said of Bush, whom she started dating in October 2023. 'She holds up a mirror and makes me feel like I'm the best human, I'm the best mother, and it's exactly what I needed and what I need to heal so much pain and trauma and grief in my life.'

'I just have never seen someone move and act the way you do.' The former athlete added that the pair found each other amid personal turmoil. 'And it's this type of reassurance that she came into my life when I was an open wound and she's so selfless and such a beautiful person that even in the hardest season of her life, she wants to help me heal, which is something I'll never forget,' she added, seemingly referring to Bush's divorce from entrepreneur Grant Hughes after 13 months of marriage in August 2023. Harris said she hoped to be that 'same version' for Bush, adding, 'I think it's impossible for us to work so much on ourselves and heal all of the trauma and pain we've experienced, but when you meet the right person, they won't weaponize that against you.

'I met the most incredible human in the world who doesn't see my pain and scars as an issue. She sees it as a superpower, and she's showing and teaching me every day to use it in such a way that heals and helps other people, that I have an incredible gift to be not only a parent, but the way I show up for people.'
