Chad Michael and Sophie Bush's love story

In the early 2000s, the series "One Tree Hill" was the biggest hit. Everyone followed her and cheered for her favorite characters, and many were heartbroken when she finally came to an end. This American saga about growing up, love and intrigue was a favorite of teenage and slightly older audiences, and the plot followed the lives of two half-brothers, Lucas and Nathan Scott. 

Different in character and style, Lucas and Nathan grow up before the eyes of the viewers, and love intrigues are constantly woven around them. Probably everyone's favorite couple in the series were the actors Chad Michael Murray, who played Lucas, and Sophia Bush, who played his unrequited love Brooke Davis in the series. 

When Chad and Sophia got involved in real-life fans of the series fell into delirium. No one was happier than the loyal fans who eagerly awaited each new episode of that hit series. However, even though their relationship seemed idyllic, it ended.

Namely, Chad and Sophia fell in love with each other in their early twenties, filming together and spending hours and hours in front of the camera. In 2003, they began a romance that they failed to hide from the public and the media. They became the number one celebrity couple, the paparazzi followed in their footsteps, and they did not hesitate to exchange tenderness on the red carpets. After two years of relationship, they decided to sail to the port of marriage.

However, despite the fact that everything looked like a fairy tale, and the world could not get enough of the newlyweds, after only five months of marriage, everything came to an end. Sophia and Chad announced that they are divorcing.

Namely, Sophia asked for the annulment of her marriage to Chad, claiming that she was cheated when she got married, but the court rejected her request, so in the end she received an official divorce only at the end of 2006. Then she admitted that she felt completely emotionally broken because she always thought she would get married only once in her life. 

The public did not know for a long time why love broke, so last year Sophia opened her soul after 13 years and revealed that she felt a huge pressure to get married.

'How old was I then? It was somewhere in the middle of the second season of the series. I think we were all somewhere in our 22nd year. We were very stupid and young,' Bush. The actress is 37 years old today and she has never married again. 

This couple broke off all ties, and Sophia started dating another colleague from the series - James Lafferty. Then she was with Austin Nichols, who agreed to star in "One Tree Hill" because of her. Thus, the beauty tried her luck with as many as three acting colleagues, but she did not find lasting happiness with any of them. 

Chad, on the other hand, had more success in love. After the divorce from Sophie, he started dating Kenzie Dalton, with whom he got engaged, but after seven years of relationship, they decided to separate, but on good terms. 

Chad's third choice brought him marriage and children, so it can certainly be said that he managed to settle down as a family. Namely, in 2014 he was dating actress Sarah Roemer, and he married her the following year. In the same year, they had their first child, a son, and two years later a daughter was born.
