Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris Reveal Their Private 2025 Wedding

Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris have revealed that they quietly married in upstate New York during the summer of 2025. The couple shared the news more than a year later while discussing Bush’s forthcoming memoir, turning what had been a closely held family milestone into a public celebration.

The ceremony was deliberately small. Harris’s children, Sloane and Ocean, were part of the day, while Bush’s longtime friend Nia Batts officiated. In the couple’s account to Vogue, the children picked flowers from the property and moved freely through the gathering, which ended with roasted marshmallows rather than a highly choreographed reception.

A wedding designed around privacy

That relaxed atmosphere reflected a choice by two people whose careers have unfolded in public. Bush became widely known through One Tree Hill and later Chicago P.D., while Harris spent years playing professional soccer in major stadiums. They said the demands of those careers helped shape their desire to keep the ceremony personal and pressure-free.

The couple also chose to tell friends and relatives individually before announcing the marriage. Bush explained that, after sharing those private moments with the people closest to them, she was ready to refer to Harris publicly as her wife rather than continue using the broader word “partner.”

The announcement arrives with a memoir

The wedding news accompanies an excerpt from Bush’s memoir, And I Will Tell You Mine: Notes from a Life in Progress, scheduled for release on October 27. The book frames the marriage as part of a larger account of identity, relationships and the process of reclaiming a life shaped by years in the spotlight.

Bush and Harris began dating in 2023 after supporting each other through major personal changes. Bush spoke publicly about the relationship in 2024, but the pair kept the wedding itself out of view until they could present it on their own terms.

The result was not a celebrity spectacle but a family-centered ceremony remembered for children, flowers and an intimate circle of loved ones. By waiting to share it, Bush and Harris made the announcement an extension of the wedding’s defining idea: their marriage belonged to them before it became public news.
