Sophia Bush has candidly defined how a dialog with a buddy helped her higher perceive her sexuality.
The 41-year-old One Tree Hill star has been relationship soccer star Ashlyn Harris since October final yr – with the romance starting after the actress determined to finish her marriage to businessman Grant Hughes.
Now the star has defined that a dialog in regards to the collapse of her marriage helped her open her thoughts to a new approach of relationship.
Sophia recalled throughout her Work in Progress podcast, “I think so many women are like, ‘Well, I’m settling a little bit.’ Everyone says everything’s hard, all my friends hate their husbands. And you sort of go like, ‘Oh. Then maybe that’s not it’.”
She continued, “One of my best friends looked at me and was like, ‘I gotta say, that (her divorce) was just painful to watch, and I’m so glad you’re getting out of it. But, like, I don’t just think he was not the right person for you, but also, I don’t actually think you like men.’ And there was sort of the ‘aha’ moment.”
Sophia then felt she might see her life via contemporary eyes, explaining, “Then I used to be like, ‘Oh, my God, the queer group has been my dwelling and is the house of my complete household since I used to be sufficiently old to grasp’.
“Uncle Tony had a boyfriend and not a girlfriend. I would never want to hurt the people I care the most about who’ve been in this fight for liberation for so long. I’m gonna get out of the way. And then, it was like, ‘Well, maybe I don’t have to get out of the way. Maybe I just get to like who I like.’ What a revolutionary f**king idea.”
