New One Tree Hill Love Match

In the world of entertainment, specifically Hollywood, making a relationship work is beyond difficult. This is especially true when you are young, and dating a co-star, or even worse, marrying someone else in the entertainment industry. Just look at stars such as Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, their Hollywood love story shattered in front of millions. Not that smart entertainment buffs were surprised! The split by Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush was also predictable, however, the new couple that has formed on "One Tree Hill" may not be! Chad Michael Murray is reportedly engaged to a teenaged extra on his television show "One Tree Hill", just six months after his wife co-star Sophia Bush dumped him.

The 24-year-old heartthrob has been dating Kenzie Dalton - who plays a cheerleader on the show - since December, but only made their relationship public after she turned 18. Michael and Sophia?s five month marriage was annulled last month, with her citing ?fraud? as the reason. It was reported that Michael had cheated on her. This will no doubt add to the already tense atmosphere on the set of the teen drama.

"Sophia and I don`t talk," Kenzie says, "but she is aware of our relationship. Sophia?s just glad she got out of the relationship when she did," a close friend of the actress has revealed. "Sophia went into the marriage believing in the sanctity of marriage and Chad simply did not share that vision,? another source said.
