One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush and former soccer player Ashlyn Harris turned their latest red carpet appearance into a family affair.
The couple, who have been together since 2023, brought Harris' daughter Sloane, five, and son Ocean, four, to a swank gala in New York on Wednesday.
Bush and Harris were both being honored that evening by A Sense of Home, a charity dedicated to the prevention of homelessness, including among disaster survivors and people currently aging out of the foster care system.
Harris, who shares her children with her ex-wife and fellow erstwhile soccer star Ali Krieger, glowed while giving them what appeared to be their red carpet debut.
A backstage video showed Bush kneeling attentively as she helped little Sloane adjust her hair before they all stood for pictures together, via People.
Both adults opted for what appeared to be velvet trouser suits, with Bush exuding Manhattan chic in head-to-toe black and Harris dressed in grey.
The Daily Mail has contacted Bush and Harris' representatives for comment.

The event comes three months after Harris shared a candid reflection on her divorce from Krieger and their subsequent co-parenting dynamic.
'I respect her and I’m proud of what we did. I don’t resent or regret anything about the life that I built with her; it just wasn't for me,' Harris insisted to Us Weekly.
'She’s the mother of my children. I respect her as a mom, I respect her as a player, I respect what she's done for the game. I don't ever want to speak poorly about the mother of my children,' the retired sportswoman continued.
'Now we just get to be at ease and happy and in love and raise these kids in this family. We’re just so grateful and lucky,' raved Harris.
Krieger and Harris exchanged vows in 2019 before announcing their separation in September 2023 and finalizing their divorce in 2025.
Meanwhile, in August 2023, Bush filed for divorce from her second husband Grant Hughes after a marriage that had lasted merely 13 months.
Bush has said she and Harris first became acquainted in 2019 but did not become a couple until October 2023 - after their respective marriages fell apart.
Nevertheless, when romance rumors started swirling about her and Harris, Bush found herself being accused of being a 'home-wrecker.'

Bush firmly denied she broke up Harris' marriage, writing that she had landed on the business end of 'blatant lies and violent threats,' via Glamour.
'People looking in from the outside weren't privy to just how much time it took, how many painful conversations were had,' she insisted.
'A lot of effort was made to be graceful with other people's processing, their time and obligations, and their feelings,' added the Chicago PD actress.
Meanwhile, Harris recently shared her method of weathering the publicity storm that raged around the start of her romance with Bush.
'When all of this news was going crazy, it was really important for me to be intentional that I was a good human during a really hard season that became very public,' said Harris, who played for America at the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015 and 2019.
'I never wanted to speak ill about the mother of my children in front of them, with other friends. It was really important to me,' she noted.
From 2005 to 2006, Bush was married to her One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray, whom she is pictured with at the premiere of his 2005 horror picture House of Wax
Bush and Harris made their red carpet debut in April 2024 at the star-studded White House Correspondents Dinner hosted by Colin Jost.
Shortly beforehand, Bush had announced their relationship by penning a magazine essay in which announced that she was 'queer.'
In her coming out essay, Bush - who was previously married to her One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray - revealed that multiple men she was involved with in the past were aware that she was also attracted to women.
She took aim at social media users 'who said I'd left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women - my partners have known what I'm into for as long as I have (so that's not it, y'all, sorry!).'
Along with her husbands and Harris, Bush has also previously dated her co-stars Jon Foster, James Lafferty, Austin Nichols and Jesse Lee Soffer.
