Chad Michael Murray is setting the record straight on entrepreneur Erin Foster’s claims that he cheated on her with Sophia Bush in the early 2000s.
“It’s not one of those things that I want to go down the road of because there’s just never a winner,” the “One Tree Hill” alum, 42, told E! News. “I feel blessed to be where I am right now.”
He added that he prefers not to reminisce in the past. “I live in the now, I live in the present, I live in the future,” he said.
“Things have changed so dramatically for me since I was a young man that I just try to live in this space—always,” Murray sighed.
He added: “So, I don’t think you’ll ever find me saying anything negative or hurtful about anybody. I never will. That’s just not me. I’m not going to do it.”
“I have more regrets in my life than I care to think about, but I don’t live in the past,” Murray said. “I try to move forward every single day and just go, ‘I got air in my lung, life in my step, the will to move forward and the sun’s gonna rise on a beautiful tomorrow.’”
Murray married the “Chicago P.D.” alum, 41, in 2005 and they divorced later that same year. In early 2006, Bush filed for an annulment, citing fraud, but her request was denied.
The two starred on the drama series from 2003 until Murray’s departure in 2009.
Foster, 41, and Murray dated from 2001 until 2002.
Last month, the “New Normal” writer alleged on her radio program “The World’s First Podcast” to her sister, Sara Foster, that Murray “definitely did cheat on me with [Bush], in like, a pretty egregious way.”
“While we were living together. Pretty cool,” she claimed.
While Bush didn’t address the claims, her pal and fellow “One Tree Hill” co-star Hilarie Burton slammed the speculation.
The former “TRL” VJ, 41, contradicted the rumor on her Instagram Stories in October, shooting back at Erin: “As a person who had a front row seat then? This wasn’t it. We were all told you’d been broken up which is why our guy was perusing her.”
“Now this is being spun to make my sister look like a brazen harlot. And if she’s anyone’s harlot, it’s mine!”
Burton then tagged Erin in the post and said she would be “happy to discuss” her claims. However, the “White Collar” actress didn’t stop there as she continued to support Bush.
“There are so many unnamed sources making claims about the woman I love, so f–k it. I’ll be a named source,” Burton went on. “Lotta internet voices being nasty, and as the person who knows the real timeline? It would be laughable if it wasn’t so hurtful.”
