"I’m the happiest I’ve ever been," Ashlyn Harris told Us Weekly, a clear opening line in a conversation that moved from the end of her marriage to where she stands now — publicly, personally and professionally. Harris spoke about filing for divorce from Ali Krieger in September 2023, her new relationship, and a documentary that arrives June 8.
Harris filed for divorce after nearly four years of marriage. She and Krieger share two children — daughter Sloane, 5, and son Ocean, 3 — and a long public history as former teammates on Team USA. Harris said she began dating actress Sophia Bush in October 2023, and she framed those changes as part of a broader reckoning: "I love myself," she said. "I just always want to be authentic."
The timing matters because Harris is promoting Gamechangers: The Ashlyn Harris Story, which the documentary’s makers say traces family struggles, rebellious teen years, her Team USA journey and her relationship with Bush. The film premieres June 8 on The Roku Channel, and Harris used the interview both to preview the movie and to stake a claim about how she feels now: "I’m the happiest I’ve ever been."
She did not downplay the cost. "I don’t resent or regret anything about the life that I built with her; it just wasn’t for me," Harris said, then added plainly, "I know I hurt her in that process." That is the tension that runs through the interview: a refusal to vilify the past alongside a recognition that leaving it caused pain. Harris also acknowledged the persistence and difficulty of trying to make a relationship work, saying, "You try and you try and you try and you keep trying to make it work and you don’t want to fail."
Harris’s comments reframe a divorce that was filed last autumn into a narrative she controls now: one of self-discovery and public honesty. The friction between gratitude and rupture — she says she doesn’t resent or regret the life she built, yet it "wasn’t for me" — is not smoothed over. Instead she names the contradiction and accepts responsibility: "I had to make a really hard decision. I know I hurt her in that process."
For readers wondering what changed, Harris pointed to authenticity and self-love rather than a single incident. She said she wakes up feeling love for the person she sees in the mirror and that sharing vulnerabilities matters: "I think sharing your scars is one of the most beautiful things you can do." She cast her current happiness as an outcome of that honesty and of a new partnership with Bush, which she confirmed began in October.
The interview leaves one clear gap — Harris did not lay out specific events that led her to decide the marriage "wasn’t for me." The documentary may fill in more context about family struggles and her personal history, but Harris stopped short of attributing the divorce to a discrete cause in this conversation. What she did provide was a through-line: a refusal to live inauthentically and a belief that stepping into truth, even when it hurts others, led to her present state.
What happens next is concrete. Gamechangers: The Ashlyn Harris Story premieres June 8 on The Roku Channel; it is the next public moment when Harris’s account will reach a wider audience. If the interview is any guide, viewers can expect an intimate portrait that insists Harris is at peace with the cost of choosing herself — even as some questions about the private calculus behind that choice remain unanswered.
