During an episode of her Work in Progress podcast, which aired recently, Bush, who is 42 years old and started seeing Ashlyn Harris, 38, in October 2023, narrated how they started off in a funny and unexpected manner.
Bush recounted how their friends were trying to set up Harris with other people while she made it known that if ever Harris was ready for dating, she would be the best match for her. She stated, "If she's ready to date, she's going on a date with me."
Consequently, Harris admitted that she always thought that Sophia Bush was straight rather than being queer. The conversation between them took a hilarious turn when Harris said to Bush, "Hold the phone. I always thought you were straight?!" To this, the One Tree Hill star responded, "And I was like, 'I always thought you were happy. But, like, we're both single. What are we doing?'"
Both of them burst out laughing since neither had ever imagined dating each other.
