Sophia Bush's lover Ashlyn Harris asked ex-wife Ali Krieger for 'open marriage' when sex life fizzled

As a dedicated fan, I find it heart-wrenching yet insightful to delve into the personal lives of the people I admire, especially when they are as remarkable as Ashlyn Harris and Sophia Bush. The revelation about the end of Harris’ marriage with Ali Krieger sheds light on the complexities of relationships, particularly those in the public eye.


Sophia Bush’s partner, Ashlyn Harris, disclosed that the marriage between her and Ali Krieger dissolved due to an absence of emotional closeness.

39-year-old Harris spoke candidly about the conclusion of their four-year marriage, which came to an end in October 2023.

She remembered towards the end of their relationship, she had proposed an ‘open relationship’ as her final effort.

Harris, currently involved with Sophia Bush while earlier denying infidelity towards Krieger, recently disclosed reasons behind the dissolution of their relationship.

In the most recent installment of the exhilarating Naked Sports podcast, I found myself reminiscing about a chilling moment in Harris’ recollections – where she started to detach, or as she put it, “disassociate,” towards the twilight of their marital journey.

She quickly realized this – it was my knack for enduring pain and putting others’ desires ahead of my own that likely prolonged our marriage as much as it did, she clarified.

Additionally, Harris discussed numerous efforts she made to preserve their marriage, which ultimately ended last year when they decided to part ways.

She shared with podcast host Cari Champion that they experimented with various ideas, such as exploring the concept of an open marriage, but soon discovered it wasn’t suitable for their relationship.

‘I’m like, that’s just not even me, dude,’ she said.

She went on to say, “That was essentially my final try if things don’t go as planned and we wish to stay united.

Harris also admitted that there was zero intimacy for the ‘entire part’ of their marriage. 

She remarked that the soccer player seemed deeply passionate about the game, to the point where it appeared as if she was willing to give up everything for it.

After including kids into the equation, it feels as if my priorities aren’t being considered adequately – there’s an entirely new dimension to this situation.

She continued: ‘I didn’t feel that sense of connection, whether emotional or physical. It was soccer, job, kids, and then somewhere down the line, it was like, “OK, what about me?” 

She confessed that she was filled with such intense embarrassment and profound shame that she struggled to explain to others, “By the way, my wife isn’t comfortable with physical affection,” she explained.

When asked if her ex would disagree with her recollection of events, Harris answered honestly. 

She explained, “She isn’t able to make that statement since our marriage didn’t involve intimacy throughout its entirety.” In simpler terms, “What’s true is just the truth.

In 2010, the pair initially crossed paths when they were both members of the U.S. National Team. Their journey together led them to marriage, which lasted from 2019 until 2023.

During their marriage, they adopted two kids — daughter Sloane and son Ocean.
