Actor Chad Michael Murray has come a long way from the moody stares and basketball courts of “One Tree Hill.” These days, he’s all about dad life, date nights with his wife, and making sure his kids get more real-world experiences than screen time. Between his rock-solid marriage and their three little ones (which he refers to as “The Pack”, per Variety), the Murrays prove you can keep your family life sweet and steady; even in Hollywood.
1. His Beautiful Wife
Chad met actress Sarah Roemer back in 2013 while filming the series “Chosen.” The sparks clearly had staying power because by September 2014, they were married, though they didn’t spill the news until months later when they also shared that baby number one was on the way (People). Since then, Sarah has been more than a partner… she’s been his co-pilot in building a life that feels grounded, private, and refreshingly normal.
2. Their Three Kids
The couple shares three children, according to InStyle: a son born in 2015, a daughter in 2017, and another daughter in 2023. They’ve made a conscious choice to keep their family out of the public glare: no names released, and when the kids were younger, their faces were blurred or turned away in any social media posts. The approach gives their kids room to grow up without the pressure of the spotlight; something that’s getting rarer in Hollywood.
3. The Family Travels When Filming
Chad doesn’t do the “see you in a few months” routine when he’s on set… he brings the whole crew with him (InStyle). Sarah homeschools on the road, juggling lesson plans between shoots, and they make sure to sneak in family adventures along the way. From first Halloween costumes to first words, they’ve been there for every milestone no matter where work takes them.
4. Songs, Sports, and Togetherness
According to Sarah, their home is basically a musical on most days, complete with improvised songs; especially around the Christmas tree, People reports. Chad jumps in as his son’s little league football coach, while the family as a whole embraces seasonal traditions, from decorating for holidays to weekend football games in the yard. It’s the kind of everyday joy that feels totally relatable… even if your dad isn’t a TV or movie star.
5. Stepping Out Together: A Red Carpet First
In July 2025, the Murrays made a rare but charming red carpet debut as a family at the “Freakier Friday” premiere in Los Angeles. Chad, Sarah, their nine-year-old son, and eight-year-old daughter showed up in coordinated pastel looks, all smiles for the cameras. The youngest stayed home, but the outing still felt like a rare peek into their close-knit dynamic; proving that when they do step out together, it’s for something truly special.

In the end, it’s not about premieres or press… it’s about the memories they’re making together, one family adventure at a time.
