Chad Michael Murray avoided addressing Erin Foster's recent claims that he was unfaithful to her with ex-wife Sophia Bush in the early 2000s. When questioned on November 27, the 42-year-old actor told E! News, "I truly care for everyone. I don't involve myself in gossip or rumors. It's not something I want to entertain because there are no winners in that situation."
Murray expressed gratitude for his current state, emphasizing his commitment to living in the present and looking towards the future. While he acknowledged past regrets, he emphasized his focus on moving forward and maintaining a positive outlook.
Murray did not directly address Foster's recent claims about his infidelity. Instead, Erin, 41, opened up about her ex's infidelity, saying, "I mean he definitely cheated on me with [Bush] in, like, a pretty egregious way." Erin and Murray began dating in 2001. After meeting on the set of their CW series in 2003, Murray moved on with Bush, now 41. They wed in April 2005 but separated five months later amid rumors of Murray having an affair with House of Wax costar Paris Hilton. The divorce was finalized in December 2006.

While Bush has not spoken out on Foster’s claims, OTH costar Hilarie Burton Morgan clapped back at Foster’s claims via Instagram.
"Ugh. So awkward. I landed from my overnight flight and was bombarded with this headline from multiple people. But let me set the record straight as someone who was there - that’s not how it went down,” Burton Morgan, 41, shared on her Instagram Stories, accompanied by a screenshot of a news article about Foster's allegations on October 20.
Burton Morgan added, “We were all under the impression that you two had broken up, which is why our friend was showing interest in her. Now they're twisting the story to make my sister out to be a scandalous woman. And if she’s anyone's woman, it’s mine!”
The actress, who cohosts the “Drama Queens” podcast with Bush, mentioned Foster in her post and expressed her willingness to address the rumors, stating that Foster "also deserve[s] truth."

Check out the deal - "I'm tired of all the rumors from anonymous sources about the woman I love, so I'll speak up. There are a lot of negative voices online, and as someone who knows the truth, it's almost funny if it wasn't so hurtful."
Foster married Simon Tikhman in December 2020, while Murray wed Sarah Roemer in January 2015 and the two have three children together. Bush tied the knot with Grant Hughes in June 2022 but filed for divorce just 13 months later. She has since been linked to soccer star Ashlyn Harris.
