She graduated from Westridge School for Girls in 2000 in Pasadena, California. While there, she played on the volleyball team. The school also required their students to participate in the theatre arts program. Bush states, "Part of my school's requirement was to do a play. I was really irritated because I wanted to play volleyball and I had to go and do this play. But there was a moment after the performance when I realized I had gone and been somebody else. I thought, 'If I could do this for the rest of my life, I am set.' It was like love at first sight." At the age of 17, Bush was named the Tournament of Roses Parade Queen.

Following, she made appearances in several television shows, such as Nip/Tuck, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and Punk'd.

She also starred in Buena Vista Pictures' thriller film, Stay Alive alongside Frankie Muniz and Adam Goldberg. The film opened at #3 in the U.S. box office, and is considered a box office success due to its production budget of 9 million dollars.

On April 16, 2005, Bush married actor Chad Michael Murray, her One Tree Hill co-star. They dated for almost two years before they were married in Santa Monica. They announced their separation on September 26, 2005 after five months of marriage when Bush filed court papers to have their marriage annulled citing fraud. In December 2006, Bush and Murray's divorce was finalized. Bush later said, "It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic–another joke marriage. I never expected to be married more that once...but I still believe in love." On October 27, 2008, amid rumors of Bush dating fellow One Tree Hill co-star James Lafferty, Murray seemed to have confirmed the romance. "Sophia and I are both professional and mature enough to get through it ... and now it's just easy. We're just friends. And she's got James, and James and I are friends." On May 25, 2010, Bush confirmed that she has been dating fellow One Tree Hill co-star Austin Nichols on and off for the past four years.
