Sophia Bush, in a recent interview, shared a story where her mom’s friend reacted judgmentally upon hearing about her daughter being gay. Her mom responded affirmatively, saying she believed her daughter was happy. Sophia expressed a sense of relief, describing it as finally being able to breathe without the weight of a metaphorical vest she had been carrying. She emphasized the importance of being brave enough to admit when you are not happy, especially in a relationship, as it opens the door to finding true joy. Turning 41 during this period, Sophia felt like it was her first real birthday, symbolizing a new beginning.
