The “One Tree Hill” star explained that she went through a tough fertility journey with Grant and began “realizing the person I had chosen to be my partner didn’t necessarily speak the same emotional language I did.”

Bush went on to say, “It is so, so scary to do the brave thing, to say, ‘I’m just not happy.’ Especially if you’re in a partnership and you have to say it first. But if you do it, you get the chance to be happy. To find your joy.”
As for Harris, she explained that they first met in 2019, but reconnected as part of a friend group that helped both of them through their splits in 2023. Ashlyn was going through a divorce with Ali Krieger.

In the essay, she praises Ashlyn saying, “I am absolutely in awe of her relentless integrity. The way she prioritizes and centers her kids, not only in her life but in the core of her being, is breathtaking to behold. Falling in love with her has sutured some of my own childhood wounds, and made me so much closer to my own mother. Seeing Ashlyn choose to not simply survive, but thrive, for her babies has been the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed a friend do. And now I get to love her. How lucky am I?”
