Chad Michael Murray, known for his roles in A Cinderella Story, Freaky Friday, and the TV show One Tree Hill, recently returned to the big screen in the 2025 movie Freakier Friday. Despite his on-screen charm, he opened up about how he began dating his wife, which surprises many.
Murray has been with actress Sarah Roemer for over ten years; they married in September 2014 and have three children together. The couple met on the set of the Crackle series Chosen, which also starred Milo Ventimiglia, Brandon Routh, and Rose McGowan.
“Talk about confidence! I highly recommend that most men don’t use this line on women when asking them out, especially if they are already dating someone else, but hey, Murray knew he had to shoot his shot, and surely both of them are happy he did.”
Although his story suggests an easy dating life, Murray admitted in an interview with Cosmopolitan that pursuing romance was “incredibly hard” during his Cinderella Story days. He revealed struggling with “far more insecurities than you could imagine,” ranging from concerns about his teeth to how he presented himself to others.
Chad Michael Murray’s candid confession reveals that behind his confident public image lies a personal journey of overcoming insecurity to pursue true love.
