Sophia Bush isn’t afraid to admit her past romances weren’t all perfect.
“My first experience with love was incredibly pure. The boy I loved had been one of my best friends from the time we were 9 years old,” the actress wrote in a personal essay published on Cosmopolitan in 2017. “In my 20s, when I was starting out my career as an actor, I wasn’t looking for a relationship, but one found me and became serious, even though I hadn’t planned to settle down until my 30s. But when the person you’re with asks you to marry him, you think: This must be happening because it’s supposed to.”
Bush married her One Tree Hill costar Chad Michael Murray in April 2005. After their split the following year, the John Tucker Must Die actress went on to date fellow OTH castmates James Lafferty and Austin Nichols before kicking off a romance with former Chicago P.D. costar Jesse Lee Soffer.
It seemed Bush found her forever person when meeting Grant Hughes. The two started dating in 2020 and got married in June 2022 after two years together. Bush and Hughes celebrated their one-year anniversary in June 2023, but she filed for divorce that August.
By October 2023, Bush sparked romance rumors with soccer star Ashlyn Harris. The duo made multiple public appearances together before the actress confirmed their relationship in April 2024 after coming out as queer in a Glamour cover story.
