One Time is Not Enough For Chad

It is certainly astonishing when young actors in the entertainment industry believe that they will have the ability to make a marriage work. Let`s start with Macaulay Culkin who at the tender age of 18 thought that the marriage with actress Rachel Miner would last more than a year and a half. More recently, Chad Michael Murray, who was recently divorced One Tree Hill co-star Sophia Bush, doesn`t seem to learn from his mistakes. Why did Chad Michael Murray rush a ring onto his new girlfriend?s Kenzie Dalton finger so quickly? Pregnancy, if the new rumors are to believed. But ?One Tree Hill? star Chad insists she?s ?definitely not?.

"Imagine you are walking along and you trip over something and you turn around and find that it is a huge diamond. You would pick it up and do everything in your power to take care of that diamond because it might take care of you for the rest of your life," the star says describing how he feels about 18-year-old Kenzie. He added he hopes this marriage will last longer than his five months of not-quite-wedded-bliss with co-star Sophia Bush: I want to ?to be 80 years old and to have been married for 50 years and still be soooo in love."

Kenzie?s mom, Jeannie, says the pair - who were first spotted publicly together last Summer - are ?crazy for one another?. High school senior Kenzie was spotted rocking a $30,000 engagement ring at last week?s 59th Annual Azalea Festival. 24-year-old Chad?s last marriage to Sophia was annulled last month, with her citing ?fraud? as the reason. It was reported that he cheated on the actress.
