Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris Secretly Married in Upstate NY
Actress Sophia Bush revealed Wednesday that she and former US Women’s National Team soccer player Ashlyn Harris secretly married during an intimate ceremony in upstate New York. Speaking publicly about the nuptials for the first time in an interview with Vogue, Bush shared that the couple quietly exchanged vows.
The private gathering was kept intentionally small due to their public careers, attended by a select group of close family and friends, including Harris’s two young children, Sloane and Ocean. According to an official news report published by Us Weekly, Bush described the pressure-free wedding day as pure joy, detailing how the couple concluded their evening roasting marshmallows with family.
Bush explained that after taking time to personally share the news with loved ones across the country, she felt ready to speak openly about their updated relationship status. The One Tree Hill star recalled telling Harris that she no longer wanted to refer to her simply as a partner, expressing excitement over calling her her wife.
Further details regarding their relationship, personal growth, and wedding ceremony are set to be published in Bush’s upcoming memoir, And I Will Tell You Mine: Notes From a Life in Progress. In excerpts shared from the book, Bush wrote about witnessing Harris’s personal evolution and realization of self-worth, describing the milestone as the first chapter of her own life that feels completely and authentically hers.
The public confirmation follows months of quiet commitment after the pair first began dating. Harris reflected on their decision to go public, noting that while their love is sacred and private between them, publicly embracing their marriage serves as an important moment of LGBTQ+ visibility.
Both Bush and Harris emphasized that keeping the initial ceremony low-key allowed them to focus on family connections and create lasting personal memories away from public scrutiny before sharing their milestone with fans globally.
