Who Is Sophia Bush’s New Boyfriend, Grant Hughes?
From the moment Sophia Bush stepped onto the scene in Hollywood as the sultry and carefree Brooke Davis on the hit teen drama, One Tree Hill, fans have been enamored with the actress’ fire and spunk. The Chicago P.D. alum has been outspoken when it comes to women’s rights, animal rights, and creating safe work environments amid the #MeToo movement and her own personal experiences on the set of OTH.
Bush’s dating life has also been a major topic of conversation. She was briefly married to her former One Tree Hill, co-star, Chad Michael Murray, and she’s spoken openly about being feeling pressured to get married and being way too young for such a serious partnership.
Since then, Bush has become much more private about her personal life. However, the actress has recently been spotted out and about with a new guy on her arm. Here’s what we know about Bush’s new beau, Grant Hughes.
