First Shot at the Title: Chad Michael Murray on Meeting His Wife Sarah Roemer
After more than twenty years in Hollywood, Chad Michael Murray remains one of the lasting heartthrobs of the early 2000s. From portraying a brooding teen in One Tree Hill to leading roles in A Cinderella Story and Freaky Friday, he has maintained both professional success and a grounded personal life.
In 2025, Murray returned to the big screen with Freakier Friday, Disney’s anticipated sequel that became the highest-grossing comedy of the year. Beyond his on-screen romances, he recently opened up about his real-life love story during Cosmopolitan’s “Blind Date” interview series.
The Start of a Real-Life Love Story
During the candid interview, Murray offered a glimpse into how his relationship with actress Sarah Roemer first began. The couple met while filming the action-thriller series Chosen. At the time, both were focused on their roles and rarely interacted off set.
“We didn’t really talk to each other,” he admitted. “I couldn’t get her off my mind.”
This seemingly simple beginning marked the start of a partnership that has since grown into one of Hollywood’s quiet success stories — a balance of work, love, and family outside the spotlight.
