Ashlyn Harris’ ex-wife Ali Krieger shares sweet photo with their two young children… but remains silent on women’s soccer star’s rebound romance with Sophia Bush
Ashlyn Harris’ ex-wife Ali Krieger has posted on Instagram following the news that the women’s soccer star is now ‘dating’ Sophia Bush.
Harris filed for divorce from Krieger – who is also a footballer and plays for Gotham FC – last month after almost four years of marriage and two adopted children together.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Harris has since moved on with Bush, who coincidentally also recently divorced when she split from husband Grant Hughes in August.
Although she has yet to comment on her ex’s rebound romance, Krieger, 39, shared a sweet photo of their daughter Sloane, two, and son Ocean, one.

This week, reports emerged that the 41-year-old One Tree Hill actress has been linked to the retired American football star and World Cup winner, 37.
“After years of being friends and in the same social circles, Sophia and Ashlyn went out for their first dinner a few weeks ago,” a source told People on Tuesday.
“This is so recent and they’re both starting a new chapter.”
An insider added Page six that Bush and Harris’ relationship is “very new, they are definitely a couple,” while a TMZ A source said the couple was “officially a thing.”
Bush and Harris were also recently seen together in photos shared online by Canadian soccer star Selenia Iacchelli.
Harris retired from football in November 2022 and Krieger decided to do the same in March 2023.
She told CBS Morning that the 2023 NWSL season would be her last act on the court because she wanted to spend more time hanging out with her two little ones.
A source told People on Wednesday, “While it is new information to the public, Ashlyn and Ali’s divorce began months ago and they have been living apart since the summer.”
The insider added that “there is no salacious story” about Bush and Harris’ new romance.
The actress and Hughes decided to go their separate ways seven weeks after celebrating their first anniversary.
At the time, she removed his last name from her Instagram bio and deleted photos of the couple.

‘Best decision of my life. It still feels exactly that way. Ecstatic. Running together towards the future, grinning and laughing. I love you, my favorite. Happy birthday’
