Ashlyn Harris is shedding light on the demise of her relationship with fellow soccer star Ali Krieger in a new interview.When news of their impending divorce broke last year, it didn't take long for public scrutiny to shift towards Harris. Accusations of cheating soon followed, as her relationship with actress Sophia Bush was outed not long after. However, those are accusations that both Harris and Bush have repeatedly denied. Most recently, Harris went on the Naked Sports podcast, where the conversation eventually turned to her marriage to Krieger, and how things fell apart between them.Here's what we learned:1. They had stopped being intimate."Its not an easy conversation to have with anyone, to carry the shame of not feeling loved and wanted," Harris said. "I felt so embarrassed and I felt so much shame that I didnt know how to tell people that, like, oh, my wife doesnt want to touch me or doesnt want to be intimate or doesnt want this."2. She suggested an open marriage."I started trying all these things, like, 'Let's do an open marriage,'" she recalled. "And I'm like, that's just not even me, dude. Like a year before we officially called it quits, that was my last attempt of, you know, if Im not getting what I want, we want to keep this together."3. Soccer may have come between them."I think she loved the game so much and all she knew was how to sacrifice her life for the game," Harris said of Krieger. "Then when you add children, which is a whole different layer. I just felt like I wasnt a priority. I didnt feel that sense of connection, whether emotional or physical. It was soccer, job, kids, and then somewhere down the line it was like, okay, but like what about me? What about me?"4. The divorce wasn't sudden.Although Krieger has previously said she was blindsided by Harris filing for divorce, Harris maintains that couldn't have been true. In fact, she says she moved out of their home at the beginning of the summer in 2023."The whole plan was to hold off until the end of the season. And I remember calling and saying, 'You want to jointly file?' like this is going to be whats best. And she said, 'Nah, youll come crawling back in six months,'" she said. "And I filed, and then all of a sudden she was blindsided by it."5. She thought it was what was best for their kids."I became a stranger, not only within myself, but within my relationship, and then the worst thing that you can do is start pushing that on your young children," Harris said. "I didn't wanna do that to my kids. I don't want them I don't wanna project my shame and insecurity and my marriage on them because I wasn't getting what I needed out of it."6. She still insists she didn't cheat."Im constantly pegged as a cheater, which that is so far from the truth and [Krieger] knows it," she said. "And it torched me."7. She wants people to know the divorce wasn't easy for her, either.While sympathies have largely been with Krieger, at least among soccer fans, Harris wants people to remember that they just can't know what actually went on behind closed doors."Its the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. And I think people miss that. People think only one person was in pain, or people think you have to choose a side that you know, you have to really punish this person because the idea you had through social media didnt manage your expectations," she said. "However, you havent lived my experience. That is one thing Im not willing to compromise after Ive done so for so long, is live my life for other people through this lens of social media, which just I cant do it anymore. It destroys you."
