Despite keeping her struggles private, Bush eventually came to the realization that she had made a mistake in her marriage to Hughes.

After filing for divorce from Hughes, Bush went public with her relationship with U.S. soccer star Ashlyn Harris, which she credits with helping her heal from past wounds and come to terms with her sexuality. Bush described her sexuality as existing on a spectrum, with the word “queer” feeling like the best fit for her identity.
