She confirmed her relationship with Ashlyn Harris and told, “Would I have liked to make the public part of this journey a choice for myself, and not have it taken from my lips and set ablaze by gossip blogs and bottom-feeder online bots? Of course. I’m very aware, though, as we discuss bullying and harassment and being outed without consent-that I’m incredibly lucky this happened in my adulthood.
I really love who I am, at this age and in this moment. I’m so lucky that my parents, having spent time with Ash over the holidays, said, well, this finally looks right. I know it could have gone differently.”
Sophia Bush Journey
She added that it took her 41 years to “get here.” she further added, “We’ve all learned about kids who have taken their own life after being outed or who have been killed simply for being who they are in a place or time that is threatened by their expressed joy.
I am so lucky to be here, now. I have real joy. It took me 41 years to get here. And while I marvel at it, I will also make space for people’s pain. But I will not carry anyone’s projected shame. When I take stock of the last few years, I can tell you that I have never operated out of more integrity in my life. I hope that’s clear enough for everyone speculating out there, while being as gentle as I possibly can be.”

Sophia said that coming out feels like she can “finally breathe.” she quoted, “I finally feel like I can breathe. I don’t think I can explain how profound that is. I feel like I was wearing a weighted vest for who knows how long. I hadn’t realized how heavy it was until I finally just put it down. This might sound crazy-but I think other people in trauma recovery will get it-I am taking deep breaths again. I can feel my legs and feet. I can feel my feet in my shoes right now. It makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.”
