A few days after she came out as queer, "One Tree Hill" star Sophia Bush (41) celebrated a couple's premiere on the red carpet: She appeared at the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday (April 27th). ) happy together with footballer Ashlyn Harris (38).

The couple coordinated their outfits for this special appearance, wearing outfits from the same designer - Harbison, according to People. Actress Bush dazzled in a black strapless dress with pockets and gold pendant details. Her partner Harris chose black trousers, a black structured vest with gold button details and black Saint Laurent shoes.

The red carpet debut followed Sophia Bush's coming qout. "I finally feel like I can breathe," she wrote in an essay for the April issue of Glamor. "I don't think I can explain how profound this is." She feels like she's been wearing a weighted vest and finally taken it off. She went on to describe how she had felt uneasy before and during her one-year marriage to Grant Hughes. Pathetic attempts to get pregnant ultimately put further strain on the relationship. In August 2023, she filed for divorce from the entrepreneur just one year after the picture-perfect wedding.

She received support from various women after the separation. This also applies to former US national soccer player Ashlyn Harris (38), whom she has known since 2019. The shared experience of a failed marriage - Harris was also going through a divorce from her ex-wife - probably brought the two women together. They have been seen together at events in recent months, which has fueled the rumor mill. Now they are making their relationship official with the appearance in Washington.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner is held annually. In addition to journalists, numerous stars also take part. This year, for example, Scarlett Johansson (39) and her husband Colin Jost (41), who moderated the evening, Rosario Dawson (44) and Fran Drescher (66) also came to the dinner with US President Joe Biden (81).
