Chad Michael Murray, known for his charming roles in movies like A Cinderella Story, Freaky Friday, and the TV show One Tree Hill, recently made a return to the big screen with the 2025 film Freakier Friday. Beyond his on-screen charisma, he shared an interesting story about how his real-life romance began.
Murray has been with actress Sarah Roemer for over ten years. They married in September 2014 and have three children together. He described how they started dating with a surprising line that left many impressed by his confidence.
“The way I asked her out was pretty bold. I highly recommend most men don’t try this line—especially if the woman is already seeing someone else—but I had to take the chance.”
The couple met while filming the Crackle series Chosen, which also featured Milo Ventimiglia, Brandon Routh, and Rose McGowan.
Despite appearing to have an easy dating life, Murray admitted that during the Cinderella Story days, pursuing relationships was:
“Incredibly hard because I had far more insecurities than you could imagine—from my teeth to stressing over how I should come across to others.”
