Sophia Bush has filed for divorce from her husband of one year, Grant Hughes, as she wiped every trace of him from Instagram.

The One Tree Hill star also swapped her married name for her maiden one on Instagram on Saturday as news of their abrupt divorce became public, which came just weeks after they gushed about each other on their first year wedding anniversary.

It was revealed earlier in the day that Bush and Hughes called it quits — the same day Bush, 41, submitted the divorce filing.

“Sophia and Grant were friends for 10 years and bonded during Covid through their love of community service,” an insider told People. “They continue to run their non-profit together and remain good friends.”

The split comes just a few weeks after the couple celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary. Bush, 41, had shared a heartfelt tribute to her husband on social media, alongside a photo from their wedding day.

“Best decision of my life. It still feels just like this. Ecstatic. Running toward the future, grinning and laughing, together. I love you, my favorite. Happy Anniversary,” Bush wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post.

At the time, Hughes also honoured his bride with his own sweet message.

“Happy 1st Anniversary, my love!,” he wrote. “What a full, beautiful, dynamic, exciting, growth-filled year we’ve had together. I truly love doing life with you!”

The post still remains on Hughes’ Instagram page.

The duo had been friends for nearly a decade before they became romantically involved. They bonded during a trip to Nicaragua to celebrate New Year’s after meeting online.

However, it wasn’t until the Covid-19 pandemic that they decided to be more than just friends. Within a year, they announced their engagement with a photo of themselves in Lake Como, Italy.

“So it turns out that being your favorite [sic] person’s favorite [sic] person is the actual best feeling on planet Earth #YES,” Bush captioned a photo in August 2021.
