How tall is Chad Michael Murray?
A lot of talk is happening around Chad's body thanks to his stripping role in The Merry Gentlemen. When it's not his abs taking centre of attention, it's his height which is 6ft. This is also 1.83m.
Who is Chad Michael Murray's wife?
Married for ten years, Chad's wife is actress Sarah Roemer. Most famous for her roles in Disturbia and Fired Up!, the couple met on set of their TV show, Chosen in 2013. What some might describe as a whirlwind romance, Chad and Sarah were married one year later in 2014 and it wasn't long before their first baby was on the way.
Before he met Sarah, Chad was married to One Tree Hill co-star Sophia Bush but their marriage only lasted five months before they called it quits. They wed in 2005 when they were just 21 and 23 and have blamed being young as part of the reason for their divorce.
In recent interviews, Sophia has said how she felt pressured into the marriage by show producers and that their personal lives were "taken advantage of". She called the separation "ugly".
Who are Chad Michael Murray's children?
With wife Sarah, Chad has three children, all of whom they happily share on social media while keeping their identity private. Their eldest is a son born in 2015, they then had a daughter in 2017 and they had another daughter in 2023.
A very proud father, Chad in a recent interview with Numero said having children has changed his perspective on acting.
He said: "I would say, a lot of material, especially over the past five to eight years since my son was born, I choose because I think one of the last things you really want is for your kids to be berated in school for what their parents are doing."
In 2016, he also said fatherhood was "the greatest thing to ever happen to me".
