On Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in January 2014, Bush confessed that they were young and not suited for such a serious relationship at that stage. In June 2018 she expressed regret over marrying him which led him to respond by saying her comments had no basis while talking about his current family life.

Jon Foster

In addition to all these other relationships she had also been dating her Stay Alive co-star Jon Foster from 2006-2007. According to People Magazine, they broke up with sometime later. She said they remained very close friends though because sometimes two people can love each other without having any romantic involvement whatsoever which is important too.

He also shared that they were getting along well now and used words like nice or even friendly to describe their present situation. The actor pointed out that they were very comfortable around each other despite living together in Wilmington where he worked with Lafferty who is their mutual friend too.

Austin Nichols

News in 2010, she talked about dating on and off for four years and realizing how much history they have together. According to this actress, what showed the most commitment from him was moving somewhere else so as to be closer which seemed like such a romantic thing.

Ashlyn Harris

The first step from friendship into a romance between Bush and Ashlyn Harris happened gradually over time.
