Sophia Bush has asked a judge to rule out the possibility of paying or receiving spousal support in her divorce from husband Grant Hughes after just 13 months of marriage.
The 41-year-old actress cited in her lawsuit a prenuptial agreement she had with 41-year-old Hughes that said she would not pay spousal support if they separated, The Blast reported Tuesday after reviewing court documents.
The Pasadena, California native referenced the short duration of the marriage in the filing, stating that they separated on June 27, 2023.
“The exact nature and extent of the parties’ separated assets and liabilities is not known at this time,” Bush’s attorneys told the court. “However, each party will be awarded their respective assets and debts under the terms of the agreement signed by the parties prior to their marriage.”
Bush, who played Brooke Davis on the television series One Tree Hill, has requested a split of legal fees in the case.

Speaking on the Inside of You podcast, she said: “I think it depends on people’s motivations and I want to make sure we’re clear about what we are, whether it’s me or one of my best friends Sign up instead of thinking we’re getting a little romance comedy life starring Kate Hudson and Matt McConaughey.

And when it comes to their relationship, Sophia says “radical honesty” is key.
When Michael Rosenbaum asked him about Murray, Bush immediately replied, ‘Oh, I’m not going to talk about him.’ I’m not allowed to do that.’
“I’ve tried making fun of being a stupid kid and whenever I’ve done that it turns into talking shit about someone I don’t even know anymore who is clearly an adult.” ‘ She explained.
“I think you have to laugh at who you used to be,” she continued. “But when people ask me about the story that affects someone else… it’s not worth my time. ‘It’s not a place where I harbor ill intentions or anything.’
