Sophia Bush SHUTS DOWN engagement rumors with girlfriend Ashlyn Harris following romantic Paris trip: ‘I have no news for you’
Sophia Bush has firmly quashed rumors that she is engaged to her girlfriend, former footballer Ashlyn Harris.
The 41-year-old actress had posted a romantic photo with Ashlyn from Paris, in which she put an arm under her ladylove’s jacket.
Since her left hand was hidden from view, some social media users apparently began to speculate that she was hiding a ring.
However, Sophia put an end to the suspicion with a follow-up photo, holding up her left hand to assure the audience that her fourth finger was bare.
“I hear the internet is wild? All of you,” she wrote with crying laughter and coffin emojis. ‘I have no ‘news’ for you. But wouldn’t you put your hands all over her jacket if you could? (To be clear, you can’t because of boundaries, but I’ll keep doing it for you because I’m just that generous.)

Posting the original loved-up Paris snap with Ashlyn, Sophia said: “I just want to pinch her.”
She added, “I understand that it is new for you to see me so happy and so embodied. It’s new to me too. How lucky I am,” the post concluded with a teary-eyed emoji.
Ashlyn started her own Insta Stories and posted a selfie of Sophia planting a kiss on her cheek as they toasted with white wine.
Sophia and Ashlyn made their red carpet debut late last month at the star-studded White House Correspondents Dinner, hosted by Colin Jost.
Shortly before, Sophia had announced their relationship by writing an essay about it Glamour magazine in which she also came out as ‘queer’.
She wrote that she and Ashlyn first met in 2019, but didn’t become a couple until October 2023 – after their respective marriages fell apart.
Sophia filed for divorce from her husband Grant Hughes in August 2023, while Ashlyn filed for divorce from her wife Ali Krieger in September.
In her coming out essay, Sophia – who was previously married to her One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray – revealed that several men she dated in the past knew she was also attracted to women.

She targeted social media users ‘who said I left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women – my partners have known what I’m into for as long as I have (so that’s not it, y’all’ ) all, sorry!).’
When romance rumors started circulating about her and Ashlyn, Sophia was accused of being a “homewrecker” since Ashlyn shares two children with her ex-wife.
Sophia adamantly denied breaking up Ashlyn’s marriage, writing that she was on the business end of “blatant lies and violent threats” over the suspicion.
“People on the outside looking in didn’t know how much time it took, how many painful conversations were had,” she insisted.
“A lot of effort has gone into being graceful with the processing of other people, their time and commitments, and their feelings,” the Chicago PD actress added.
Along with Ashlyn and her husbands, Sophia has also previously dated her co-stars Jon Foster, James Lafferty, Austin Nichols and Jesse Lee Soffer.
