Chad Michael Murray’s love story began on the set of One Tree Hill when he met his co-star Sophia Bush. Their on-screen chemistry quickly turned into a real-life romance, and the couple tied the knot in 2005.
Despite their initial bliss, the couple faced challenges that ultimately led to the end of their marriage. They separated after just five months. Their breakup was highly publicized, and their divorce was finalized in 2006. Sophia later admitted in an interview that getting married “was not a thing [she] really wanted.” It was also rumored that Chad cheated on her with Paris Hilton while they were still married.

Soon after the couple’s divorce, Chad popped the question to Kenzie Dalton, who was an extra on One Tree Hill. She was 18 years old and six years younger than Chad. “She is a little stunner. She is a sweetheart. She is my best friend, and we have been together a long time,” he gushed over his fiance three years into their relationship.
The couple went steady for seven years but couldn’t make it to the aisle. They separated in 2013.
