Ethermac|Sophia Bush makes red carpet debut with girlfriend Ashlyn Harris: See the photos

Days after Sophia Bush came out as queer and Ethermacconfirmed her relationship with retired soccer star Ashlyn Harris, the two have made their red carpet debut as a couple.

The "One Tree Hill" actress, 41, posed with Harris, 38, on the red carpet of the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night. Both wore black Harbison outfits for the event, as well as jewelry from Briony Raymond.

After the gathering of journalists, Hollywood stars and politicians, Bush and Harris also posed for photos together at the Swiss ambassador's residence.

Their appearance came two days after Bush published a personal essay with Glamour, in which she confirmed her relationship with Harris. The "Chicago P.D." star filed for divorce from husband Grant Hughes last year, while Harris filed for divorce from wife Ali Krieger not long after.

But Bush denied "accusations of being a home-wrecker" in the essay and slammed "blatant lies" claiming the two had an affair. She wrote that she and Harris met in 2019 and bonded in 2023 while Bush and her husband were "separated and preparing to file for divorce" and Harris was "in the process of figuring out her own split from her wife."

In response to claims that Bush "left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women," the actress shot back, "My partners have known what I'm into for as long as I have (so that's not it, y'all, sorry!)." She also revealed she was close to calling off her 2022 wedding to Hughes and "threw up" after posting about their one-year anniversary in 2023.

In the Glamour essay, Bush shared that while she dislikes "the notion of having to come out in 2024," the "word that best defines" her sexuality is queer. "I can't say it without smiling, actually," she wrote. "And that feels pretty great."

In an Instagram Story on Friday, Harris shared a screenshot of Bush's Glamour cover and wrote, "Proud of you babe." In her own Instagram post, Bush thanked followers "for the kindness, vulnerability, and the stories and journeys of your own so many of you have shared," adding, "Courage is contagious. Here's to a life in progress."
