Although we at one point or another adored the relationship between Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush whether it was in real life or as their characters Lucas Scott and Sophia Bush, the actress recently admitted that the two much like the people they portrayed on television weren't meant to be.
According to E! News, the former costars met on the set of the WB turned CW drama and were married in a seaside ceremony in Santa Monica, California, on April 16, 2005. However, five months later they separated and Bush filed for an annulment on the basis of fraud in February 2006.
Her request was denied only for their divorce to be granted in December 2006. Although the pair remained professional for the sake of their show they lost touch after Murray left the series in 2009.
When Sophia Bush was asked if she still keeps in contact with Murray during a January 6th appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" she said, "That's such an interesting question. But my mother once said to me that if you don't have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all."
The star quickly explained why she should have never had a romance with Chad Michael Murray in the first place. The 31-year-old admitted, "We were two stupid kids who had no business being in a relationship in the first place," adding, "To all the other costars who've worked it out, more power to you."
The actress also discussed how they managed to move past their failed marriage and work together. She said, "At the end of the day, we're grownups, and I actually think it's interesting that when people split in a way that's unpleasant, they usually just go on quite literally hating each other-or the person in my situation hates the other person, whatever-but when you have to work with somebody for another half a decade, you kind of have to deal with it.
"Because for me, at the end of the day, my job is my priority," adding, "And so I think at the end of it, it really let me just let go of it."
Since the split both actors have moved on. Sophia Bush is said to still be dating boyfriend Dan Fredinburg while Chad Michael Murray has been showing major Twitter love to his new girlfriend Nicky Whelan.
