Ali Krieger Is in Her 'Happy Place' With Kids Following Ashlyn Harris Split
Ali Krieger is focusing on her family following her split from Ashlyn Harris — who is now rumored to be dating Sophia Bush.
Krieger, 39, took to Instagram on Wednesday, October 18, to share a photo with her kids: daughter Sloane, 2, and son Ocean, 14 months. The soccer star added a sticker, which read, “My happy place,” while smiling in the snap with her little ones.
The social media post comes after multiple outlets reported on Tuesday, October 17, that Bush, 41, and Harris, 38, are seeing each other. Harris, who has removed the phrase “proud wife” from her Instagram bio, filed for divorce one month before making headlines with the One Tree Hill alum.
Krieger and Harris met in 2010 while playing for the USWNT. After eight years of dating, the pair got engaged and tied the knot in December 2019.

She had this badass attitude and was just herself. I think I was more myself when I hung out with her, and that’s when I knew she would become someone important in my life.”
After their nuptials, Krieger and Harris expanded their family by adopting kids Sloane and Ocean. Krieger later praised Harris for being by her side while announcing her retirement from professional soccer.
“To my wife Ali and children Sloane and Ocean. You all give me purpose far beyond the field,” she wrote via Instagram in November 2022. “I can only hope to continue being the best wife and mom in the world to you all. I love you so much and can’t wait to show up everyday the way you all deserve.”
