Ali Krieger, Ashlyn Harris Finalize Divorce Nearly 2 Years After Split

Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris’ divorce proceedings have come to an end, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.

The retired soccer players finalized their divorce on December 4, 2024, according to court documents obtained by Us. They each retain the rights to their respective names, likenesses and photographs and will share joint legal custody of kids Sloane and Ocean, who will primarily reside in New Jersey. Per the docs, any move would have to be made in the children’s best interests.

The docs also reveal that Krieger, 40, and Harris, 39, had sold their properties in Florida in order to divide assets. They each retain individual savings accounts and cars. Kriege also gets to keep the security deposit on her New Jersey home.

Us previously confirmed that Harris was the first to file for divorce in Florida in September 2023. In the filing, Harris described her marriage to Krieger as “irretrievably broken.”

After news broke of her split from Krieger, rumors swirled that Harris moved on with actress Sophia Bush, who had also just split from then-husband Grant Hughes. Harris and Bush later confirmed their romance in April 2024 after the One Tree Hill alum penned a personal essay for Glamour‘s cover story, in which she came out as queer. (Krieger revealed in November 2024 that she moved on with Scottish soccer player Jen Beattie.)

In May 2024, Us learned that Krieger submitted her own paperwork in December 2023. According to docs obtained by Us at the time, Krieger cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split with “no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”

Krieger also requested the court implement “legal and residential custody arrangement and parenting time that protects the best interests of their two children.” Krieger and Harris share two children — daughter Sloane and son Ocean — whom they adopted in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

In addition to a fair custody arrangement, Krieger also asked the court to divide her and Harris’ assets and liabilities equally. Krieger also wanted Harris to pay her child support and legal fees.

Harris and Krieger met while playing for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team and got engaged in September 2018. While the pair kept their romance low-key at first, they decided to go public and wed the following year.

As Krieger and Harris navigated their public split, both athletes have opened up about their relationship struggles. In November 2024, Harris claimed that she and Krieger “weren’t intimate” during their marriage.

“I didn’t feel that sense of connection whether emotional or physical. It was soccer, job, kids and somewhere down the line it was like, ‘OK, what about me?’” she said during an episode of the “Naked Sports With Cari Champion” podcast. “I decided to leave my marriage after almost four years and a decade of being together. It was 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 punish this person because the idea you had through social media didn’t manage your expectations however you haven’t lived my experience.”

Krieger ultimately fired back at Harris’ claims.

“I’m overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support I’ve received this last year,” Krieger wrote via Instagram. “However, amidst this warmth, I’ve also had to confront a wave of dishonesty and misinformation regarding my marriage and personal life. While I’m not yet prepared to make a formal statement, I feel compelled to address this currently to prevent further distortion of the truth.”

She continued: “Above all else, my unwavering priority remains the protection and well-being of my children. I promise to share more when my heart feels ready. In this vulnerable time, I humbly ask for privacy and understanding from all involved, as I grapple with the profound changes in my personal life.”
