"“If I've learned anything from her and from all of the amazing mums in my life, including my own, I think we're really in a moment when I can say women need more support, more resources, paid leave would be great... anyone in charge. I learned that the best thing I can do for her is give her a moment, just to herself, so I booked her a very long massage. The kids coloured really sweet photos for her.”"
"“The actress, who came out as queer in a April 2024 Glamour interview, explained the massage had been for longer than 90 minutes, but said she couldn't have done it herself. 'I'm too type A for that,' she said. 'I also would've been like, 'I miss you, come hang out.''”"
"“I think for me, all of the ways I watch women mother, whether it's my best friend becoming a mum and me being godmother to her kids, falling in love with a mother and being a part of a family... What you really get to see is really the myriad ways that women show up for each other, that they show up for their communities, that we show up for our kids and other people's, each other's, and our families and extended families, our communities.”"
Sophia Bush shared insights into her relationship with Ashlyn Harris and her role as a “bonus mum” to Harris’s children. Harris adopted a daughter, Sloane, and a son, Ocean, with Ali Krieger, and later divorced. Bush said she learned that women need more support, more resources, and paid leave. She described helping Harris by giving her uninterrupted personal time, including booking a long massage, while the children made photos for her. Bush also explained that she could not have done the same herself because she is “type A.” She described mothering as many forms of women showing up for each other, their communities, and both their own and others’ families.
