People are flooding to social media after hearing Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris are 'both beginning new chapters' dating one another.
The One Tree Hill actor and retired US Women's National Team star both split from their respective partners earlier this year.
Bush filed for divorce from husband Grant Hughes earlier this year in August after 13 months of marriage and Harris similarly filed for divorce from her wife, Ali Krieger, in September - the pair having been together four years.
