After meeting on the set of One Tree Hill in 2003, Sophia and Chad quickly fell in love and even tied the knot in 2005. Unfortunately, the couple filed for divorce only five months later, though they continued to star on the show as tumultuous couple Lucas and Brooke until Chad's departure in 2009.
The former couple attempted to keep the peace on set following their divorce, but Sophia told Cosmopolitan in January 2017 that the experience was pretty difficult, and "the trauma of [the breakup] was amplified by how public it became." Later, during a June 2018 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Sophia said the relationship was a mistake. "We were two stupid kids who had no business being in a relationship in the first place," she added.
