First Shot at the Title: Chad Michael Murray on Meeting His Wife Sarah Roemer
After over twenty years in Hollywood, Chad Michael Murray continues to charm audiences and maintain his reputation as one of the early 2000s’ most beloved stars. Known for his roles in One Tree Hill, A Cinderella Story, and Freaky Friday, the actor has gracefully evolved both professionally and personally.
In 2025, Murray headlined Disney’s much-anticipated sequel Freakier Friday, which became that year’s top-grossing comedy. Yet despite his cinematic successes, it was his appearance on Cosmopolitan’s “Blind Date” series that revealed a more intimate side of his story — the love that began behind the scenes with actress Sarah Roemer.
A Real-Life Love Story
During the unscripted conversation, Murray offered rare insight into how he and Roemer first met while working on the action-thriller series Chosen. According to him, both were deeply involved in their roles, and interaction off-set was minimal.
“We didn’t really talk to each other,” he admitted.
Even so, their brief connection left a strong impression on him after filming ended.
“I couldn’t get her off my mind.”
What began as subtle curiosity eventually blossomed into the enduring love story that now defines one of Hollywood’s most grounded couples.
