Actress Sophia Bush, known for her role in 'One Tree Hill,' has recently opened up about her sexuality in a candid feature for Glamour magazine. The 41-year-old actress revealed that she identifies as queer, a year after her marriage ended.
In the article, Bush shared her journey of self-discovery, reflecting on her past relationship and the challenges she faced. She described experiencing doubts before her wedding and the subsequent heartbreak of the fertility process, which ultimately led her to reevaluate her marriage.
Following her realization, Bush took a step back and immersed herself in a theatrical role in London's West End. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, she had to withdraw from the project.
Upon returning to Los Angeles, Bush found solace in a supportive group of women, including former soccer player Ashlyn Harris. It was during this time that Bush acknowledged her feelings for Harris, describing it as 'falling in love.'
Despite her initial reluctance to 'come out' in 2024, Bush emphasized the importance of honoring the LGBTQIA+ community, especially in the face of increasing discrimination. She expressed gratitude for the love and acceptance she has received from the queer community.
Reflecting on her sexuality, Bush stated that she has always recognized it as existing on a spectrum and now identifies with the term 'queer.' She expressed joy and contentment in embracing her true self.
