Ashlyn Harris Opens Up on Divorce from Ali Krieger and Public Misconceptions

The former USWNT goalkeeper reflects on the challenges of her marriage, the decision to part ways, and the media's portrayal of their split.

Ashlyn Harris revealed she suggested an open marriage as a last effort to salvage her relationship with Ali Krieger, though she later realized it was not true to herself.
Harris cited a lack of intimacy and connection in her marriage, as well as feeling undervalued, as key reasons for the split after nearly four years of marriage and over a decade together.
She expressed frustration over being publicly labeled a cheater, stating that the narrative did not reflect her experience or the reality of their relationship's decline.
Harris emphasized that the public focus on her relationship with actress Sophia Bush overshadowed the complexities of her and Krieger's shared struggles and personal growth.
Ali Krieger has largely refrained from discussing the reasons for their divorce but previously noted the emotional impact of learning about Harris's filing during a soccer practice session.
