Chad Michael Murray, 24, and Sophia Bush, 23, have separated after five months of marriage, PEOPLE has learned.

A spokesperson for Bush confirmed the split, but offered no further details on the relationship between the couple, who star together on One Tree Hill.

"This is a difficult and unfortunate situation," said Bush in a statement. "I am glad this is being resolved sooner rather than later."

Murray and Bush exchanged handwritten vows during their wedding on April 16 at Santa Monica's Hotel Casa Del Mar before 200 guests.

The couple got engaged in May 2004 in Australia when Murray popped the question on a tennis court adorned with 20 bouquets of roses and 500 lit candles spelling out a special message for Bush.

"It's a really, really important moment for a woman, so I wanted to do what I could do to make it special," Murray said at the time.

The couple met on the set of their WB show and began dating in 2003.

good lord they just got married!!! I wonder how the spilt will effect the show?

[sarahh]

Like we didn't see that one coming! There were blind items in the gossip columns about those two all the time.

Apparently he has a wandering eye...if not more! :rolleyes:

I used to live in Wilmington and has a friend that goes out (on a friendly type basis-- maybe a little more) with one of the guys from that show. Chad has openly kissed her before and when she asked him about his fiance, he said they have an open relationship.

Shouldn't that be a clue?!?!

From GossipList...May 15, 2005
Chad Michael Murray Is Already Loving The Strippers

Chad Michael Murray is big on success but low on restraint. The recently married actor (he married One Tree Hill co-star Sophia Bush in April) was in Toronto, Canada promoting 'House of Wax' and dropped by a strip club to enjoy the local 'hospitality'. After giving Murray several erotic lap dances, one exotic performer said of the visibly aroused Murray, 'His wife is a very lucky woman.'

From Page Six...ONE JEALOUS FIANCEE, COMING UP

Lindsay Lohan and her engaged "Freaky Friday" costar, Chad Michael Murray, are still in close contact, much to the chagrin of his fiancee, fellow "One Tree Hill" star Sophia Bush.

Lohan and her partner in crime, Paris Hilton, apparently call Murray "all the time," said a source.

"They call him and giggle and flirt," said a friend.

"Then Lindsay will say, ‘Oh!’ Tell Sophia I say hi.’ But it’s just because she knows it will annoy her."

The friend says that Bush is not happy about Lohan’s relationship with her man, but she puts up a brave front.

"She’s annoyed, but she will laugh and joke about it to her friends. Sophie’s not like Paris and Lindsay. She’s a nice girl, not a party girl."

Murray and Bush are set to marry in the spring of 2005. A blind item from BritPoppa...WHICH newly married actor isn't so faithful? Before he walked down the aisle with his lovely actress wife, he walked into a bedroom and got nasty with a hard-partying Hollywood starlet whom many know intimately (chad michael murray and paris hilton)Another from BritPoppa...lindsay lohan still hasn't moved on from her onscreen love, chad michael murray. the wb "it boy" and lohan's co-star in freaky friday has been receiving numerous flirtacious phone calls from the actress-cum-singer and her pal, paris hilton. this is all much to the chagrin of murray's fiancee, sophia bush, who is the subject of redhead's teasing in the calls.

she was wayyyyyyyyyy to pretty for him anyway. Sorry... But it is true! ;) Plus from interviews ive seen he acts sorta like an ass.

[southerner]

he might be an ass, but I think he's hot as shit!!!

they dated for a while, so I was hoping it would last. I've never heard any of that stuff about him being sleasy before :eek: I thought I knew a little about celeb gossip too :rolleyes:

[Ilovemygeek]

What a sleazeball! I guess it was only a matter of time before she kicked him to the curb.

[tinkerbelljenny]

I thought he was hot in Dawson's Creek (so long ago!). I was waiting for this to end. Why did they even bother?

[sarahh]

After a whopping five months of marital "bliss", One Tree Hill co-stars Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush are calling it quits, reports People. They now join the ever-expanding ranks of the freshly parted, including Renee and Kenny, Jamie Lynn and A.J., Tori and Charlie, and (also recently split but not as widely publicized) Catherine Keener and Dermott Mulroney.

"This is a difficult and unfortunate situation," said Bush in a statement. "I am glad this is being resolved sooner rather than later."

Uhmm...yeah! And it should have been resolved much earlier. Just weeks after his marriage to Bush, Murray was seen sheepishly exiting a strip join in Canada. And, a source tells PerezHilton.com that while he was filming House of Wax in Australia, Chad got very close with co-star Paris Hilton. Very VERY close, if you know what we mean!Source: PerezHilton.com

Sophia Bush is SO beautiful. I thought she's too pretty for him as well. I just don't see his appeal, although I think he looks much better with the short crewcut than with the long spiky 'do.

Where there's smoke, there is usually fire.

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

I'm sorry but if I was a star and my fiance was getting calls from any of those Hilton Hoes Click, there would be no wedding. You don't see too many honest men hanging w/ those girls... It's pretty safe to say he's cheating.

[vwinkel]

she was wayyyyyyyyyy to pretty for him anyway
I totally agree.

I was watching him in interviews too and I don't know how his head fits through the doorway. He sounded full of himself and wasn't witty or charming at all. I don't think he has longevity either - he's cute now, but won't be around long.

[bensgirl1222]

Wow...I was hoping they'd last :( And I agree that she is too pretty for him anyway! What a dog...

[southerner]

wonder what it will be like for them to still film One Tree Hill together?? Especially if they ended on bad terms.

Maybe he is cute, but I just do not see it!!! Like I said maybe watching him in interviews did it for me. Because he was a total a-hole in the interviews ive seen sorta to divaish :rolleyes: Whatever! It is for the best im sure.

[Lisa&Jason]

I'm still so sad about this, sigh.. mainly b/c now I KNOW their characters will not wind up together on One Tree Hill... go figure. Way to ruin it for tv guys, LOL.

I think he's cute (with his shorter hair of course), but she is just BEAUTIFUL I think - such a pretty face & LOVE those dimples!

[Holls]

OKAY! I totally saw this coming... i live in wilmington and have known more than one girl who has seen him downtown and has bragged the next day about kissing chad! I wonder if she was just as faithful! :rolleyes:

[southerner]

lisa&jason (or anyone else who watches One Tree Hill).....

here's a shameless plug for you to come visit the One Tree Hill (http://www.constantchatter.com/showthread.php?t=5472&highlight=tree+hill) thread :p

[VASLP]

Does anyone else find it kind of creepy to watch them have their "non-exclusive" dating senario on the show given the current state of their marriage... Except that she's the one playing the field on the show. (UGH, I am WAY too old to be hooked on that show, but I have a thing for teenage angst!)
And I just have to chime in...he's out of his mind. Sophia Bush is MUCH more beautiful/sexy/hot (whatever) than skanky Paris Hilton!
