Celebs you forgot were once married to each other

in 2021, Sophia Bush shared her final thoughts on her five-month-long marriage to former 'One Tree Hill' co-star Chad Michael Murray back in 2005. On the 'Inside of You' podcast the actress said she's "not allowed to" talk about Murray because her words always get twisted, but she emphasized, "I was a very naïve 21-year-old kid."

Bush even threw in some science to back it up: "I think lots of people do stupid s—t before their prefrontal cortexes are fully formed and they're not until they're 26," she explained. "So you do the math on my timeline. I literally didn't have a whole brain." Hopefully things will work out better with her new fiancé now that she has a fully formed prefrontal cortex!
