In 2003, when the CW was chasing the success of Dawson's Creek and Felicity with a new generation of soapy teen dramas, One Tree Hill took the crown and cemented its cast as Hollywood's next big things—including stars Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray. While fans may remember the basketball and family drama from the show, they may have forgotten that Murray and Bush were briefly married. Murray, who is currently promoting his new Netflix flick Mother of the Bride, gave everyone an a-ha moment, saying that he was so young and naive when it happened that he wasn't quite sure what was happening.
Bush and Murray dated for two years and got married in 2005. The union lasted five months.
"I was a baby. I didn't know up, down, left, right," Murray told The Cut. "You move out there, and you go, ‘Well, what am I supposed to do now? Get married? That's exciting!'"

E! News reports that when the romance fizzled out, Bush tried to have the marriage annulled, citing "fraud." However, the request was denied, and the two were officially divorced by the end of 2006. The two starred on the show together with Hilarie Burton and James Lafferty.

Bush also spoke about the cast's off-screen drama during a stop on Radio Andy.
"Everybody's been 22 and stupid," she told host Andy Cohen. "People won't let it go. Can you imagine if the idiot you dated when you were a senior in high school—if people still would not stop talking to you about?"
Murray is now married to actress Sarah Roemer, and the two share three children. Bush is currently in a relationship with soccer player Ashlyn Harris.
