Sophia Bush and Soccer Star Ashlyn Harris Spotted Together at Art Basel Miami Beach
Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris have taken their connection to Miami for the annual Art Basel festival.
Bush, 41, and Harris, 38, were seen in one of gallerist Michelle Tillou’s Instagram snaps from the art exhibition. Tillou posted a carousel of "@artbasel selfies” on Thursday, December 7, including one where she posed beside the One Tree Hill alum and the soccer star.
In the photo, Bush rocked a beige blazer with matching culottes, while Harris went casual in an emerald blouse and cream trousers.
The next day, Harris met up with more famous friends at the event. She posed for a pic with Serena Williams and Renee Stubbs in a Friday, December 8, Instagram Story photo.

Bush and Harris were first linked in October after their respective splits from Grant Hughes and Ali Krieger. A source confirmed to Us Weekly at the time that the two women met at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June and developed a friendship. Amid their divorces, their bond eventually turned romantic.
"It’s only been a couple of weeks since their first official date, but things already feel really natural between them,” a second source told Us in October. “They love being together. They love sports and want to do good in the world.”
The insider noted that Bush and Harris had “instant chemistry” after they met but maintained that they didn’t start dating until their breakups. Bush filed for divorce from Hughes, 42, in August after 13 months of marriage, nearly two months before Harris petitioned to end her own marriage.

Harris and fellow soccer star Krieger, 39, were married for four years and share daughter Sloane, 2, and son Ocean, 14 months. Following their breakup, USWNT fans speculated that the divorce was a result of infidelity, which Harris fervently denied.
“Not all marriages last forever. Ours did not. For many reasons,” Harris wrote in a lengthy Instagram statement last month. “Let me be clear: I did not step out on my marriage. I was always faithful in my marriage, if not always totally happy.”
Harris concluded that the pair’s main focus moving forward is Sloane and Ocean. “My priority is being a good coparent to them with Ali,” she stressed. “Despite this current darkness, there have been years of love between us. And our kids are the best part of it all. They deserve two healthy and happy parents, and that’s what matters most. We are all in pain.”
