Actress Sophia Bush is getting real about her fertility journey in a recent interview with Glamour. The 41-year-old actress reflects on her experience with fertility in a personal essay for the magazine, describing it as “the most clarifying experience of my life.”
Bush shares that after her wedding to ex-husband Grant Hughes, she found herself in the midst of the fertility process, which included endless ultrasounds, hormone shots, and retrieval procedures. She notes that society is now more open to discussing the challenges of fertility journeys, but she chose to keep her struggle private.
The actress also opens up about her emotional journey, acknowledging that her former partner did not necessarily share the same emotional language. After separating from Hughes last August, Bush was later seen with soccer star Ashlyn Harris, who had also split from her spouse.
Their relationship blossomed, with sources confirming to PEOPLE that the two were together after parting ways with their respective partners. Bush and Harris, who have been friends for years, recently went on their first dinner date, signaling the start of new chapters in their lives.
Reflecting on the past year, Bush took to Instagram in early January to share her gratitude for the changes she experienced. She emphasized the importance of no longer settling for less and embracing her whole self.
