The end of a relationship is never easy to navigate, and that’s especially the case in Hollywood. However, there is no denying that some celebrity divorces go more smoothly than others.

Over the years, there have been A-list lovers who have decided to consciously uncouple after years of marriage. They navigate splits with ease and go on with their lives relatively unscathed.

Other divorces come with a bit more drama. Some are plagued with rumors of infidelity that generate endless headlines. There can be legal battles that play out for years over spousal support, custody issues and so much more.

While drama can play out in court, sometimes it comes in other forms such as songs and memoirs, which unearth old memories.

We rounded up 20 of the most contentious celebrity divorces and recapped what made them so tense.

Gilmore Girls is one of the biggest fan fave nostalgia TV shows for millennials and beyond.

If you don’t know, the hit program ran from 2000-2007 and was a big success. Fans got extra lucky when the show was briefly rebooted on Netflix for a four episode “Year in the Life” revival series that saw most of the original cast returning.

We’re taking a look at all the stars of the show – including Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Scott Patterson, and more – and looking into their wealth from the show and other projects.

Chad Michael Murray is looking back on Freaky Friday.

If you recall, the now 41-year-old actor played Jake, Anna’s (Lindsay Lohan) crush, who actually falls for her while her mother (Jamie Lee Curtis) is in her body due to the swap.

While speaking to Vulture, Chad recalled one of the scenes that still lives with him – and Britney Spears is involved.

Chad said that his iconic scene, where he serenades Anna with Britney‘s “Baby One More Time”, in a Say Anything homage.

“Mark [Waters, director] sent it to me the night before filming,” he said. “It wasn’t originally in the script.”

Chad added that he told Mark he wasn’t a singer at all, to which “he said, ‘Even better!’ We shot it in a neighborhood where everyone was already asleep. I felt so bad for them. They were none too pleased with our lights and me terribly belting Britney Spears at all hours of the night.”

He also opened up about working, and flirting, with Jamie on the movie too.

“It was one of those opportunities of just getting into the industry and you’re going up against someone who’s been around,” Chad says. “It wasn’t uncomfortable flirting with Jamie; it was just nerve-racking to not screw it up. . . But Jamie was the best and was right there supporting me.”

Freaky Friday was released in 2003, and this year marks the movie’s 20th anniversary.

Did you miss the big news that Chad just recently shared?

Celebrity couples can meet anywhere. However, the public is always particularly interested when they fall in love on the set of a project that they are co-starring in.

An A-list singer is the latest celeb to be linked to a co-star, and they’ve reportedly been together for a while now.

While they are one of the newest celebrity couple to date and work together, they are far from the first. Young adult franchises such as High School Musical and Twilight helped bring about some of the most iconic celebrity couples of the mid-to-late aughts in Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Meanwhile, movies like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and superhero blockbusters such as The Amazing Spider-Man also led to offscreen romances for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

Of course, some of these relationships don’t work out in the long haul. However, others do. Take Jennifer Lopez and Gigli co-star Ben Affleck – who rekindled their love years later and married in 2022 – as an example.

We put together a list of more than 30 celebrity couples that worked together and recapped if their love is still burning strong today.

Chad explained that Austin is the definition of a dreamy person, adding, “He’s the guy you want to kiss, right? It’s gotta be.”

Chad then said, “If you’re going to marry someone, Lucas Scott. Moral compass, come on. He’s my ride or die.”

That meant that he was going to kill off Tristan.

“And if you’re going to kill someone, sadly, it’s Tristan Dugray,” Chad said. “Now, it’s not my choice. These are the options I was given. He had to die. I didn’t do it. So I love you Tristan, but early departure for you.”

Chad also recently explained why he will never re-watch One Tree Hill.

Hilarie Burton is opening up about allegedly being assaulted by One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn and how her co-star Chad Michael Murray stepped in after he saw it happen.

The 40-year-old actress talked about the experience on the latest episode of the Drama Queens podcast, which she hosts with former co-stars Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz.

The trio talked about season four episode “It Gets Worse at Night” during the new episode and Hilarie says the alleged assault happened while filming this episode. The cast traveled to Texas to film at a local high school that won a contest to have the show filmed there.

Keep reading to find out more…

Hilarie said, “The flight back from that is when he assaulted me. He assaulted me again in the car on the drive from Raleigh to Wilmington, He went straight to set and he told Danneel [Ackles] that he and I made out the whole time, and it was fun, and he was trying to make her jealous. So, she confronted me about it and was like, ‘What are you doing?’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ So, then we had to go on this trip with him. And this was really, like, the last three months where my blood was boiling. I didn’t know how to process it anymore and you can see it in the episode. You can see that I’m not there… I look like shit, I’m not connecting in anyway.”

Bethany asked Hilarie why she didn’t report the assault at the time.

“Oh, I did. I told all sorts of people. Honey, I told everybody,” she said. “Chad [Michael Murray] walked up and goes, ‘What are you doing?’ He said that to our boss in the bar. He watched our boss grab me in front of a lot of people, and you know, Chad didn’t have anything to lose because he knew our boss hated him anyway. A lot of people had a lot to lose, so you don’t speak up when you have a lot to lose. But [our boss] felt so comfortable that that was not something that he had a problem with. [He thought], ‘I can do whatever I want to her in public with her boyfriend standing there.’”

Sophia, who was married to Chad from 2005 to 2006, said, “He had the most power, so he could come up and shove our boss off you and get in a fight. And I’m glad that he did. I want everybody to follow that lead. Thank God, Hilarie, that you had that moment with Chad, who was already so at odds with our boss.”

Mark Schwahn was not named in the podcast, but outlets like People and Variety have listed his name. He is pictured below with Sophia.

Back in 2017, Hilarie and Sophia both spoke out in support of women who claimed they were sexually harassed by Mark.

During an appearance at 2022 Christmas Con alongside Bethany Joy Lenz over the weekend, Chad opened up about why he’s hesitant to watch an episode.

“It’s a section of my life that I deleted. A lot of development, a lot of growth as a human being, and [I] just deleted so much of it,” he said. “I think we have hard drives, right? I’m probably like, you know when you get an iPhone that holds like 264 gigs: I’m down on a 32 gig phone because of old information, so booting everything up. So I think I’m deathly afraid.”

Bethany, who hosts the Drama Queens podcast with Hilarie Burton-Morgan and Sophia Bush, also admitted she was first terrified to re-watch the show.

“When you think about where you were in your personal life, and the things that you went through, the mistakes you made, all those transitions,” she says. “Watching those things can really bring back all the memories, embarrassing moments, things you’re ashamed about, choices you made that you’re not proud of.”

Bethany went on, saying that “It’s been so cool. I was really afraid, watching back, that that’s what I was going to go through, just a non-stop barrage of shame of all the stupid s— that I did in my life. It turns out, it’s not been that experience.”

While he’s not in a rush to turn the show back on, Chad will always reunite with his former costars.

“It’s one of those things where it’s a family,” he shared. “We grew up together in a lot of ways, and so you’ll enter a room like this, and I could see Joy, Hilary, or anyone from across the room, and it’s like, ‘Family!’ You can grab onto each other and feel a little bit safe, because it’s your crew.”

While not a watcher of the series, Chad does frequently raise money for charity through his previous role, and even has an idea for a reboot.

Sophia Bush is sharing some rare comments about working with her ex-husband Chad Michael Murray.

“I can’t imagine that it won’t, at some point,” Chad said to E! News. “We get asked all the time. I know I do. And I know Hilarie [Burton] does, and I see everybody at least once or twice a year.”

He added, “I got to imagine at some point, there would be some version of it.”

Chad also shared that he has an idea for it already.

“I have an idea that’s been bouncing around in my head to do a new generation of this show, dealing with today’s issue,” he explained. “There’s just so many things now that are so very different than it was back in the early aughts. So, you can do issues that are relating to children and kids that [they] are dealing in high school today.”

Chad is now just waiting for the “right team” and pulling some people “out of whatever it is that they’re doing,” noting, “Everyone’s got hands in so many other things, and then get everyone together and go.”

Many other former teen shows were rebooted in the past few years, including Gossip Girl and Saved by the Bell.

While making an appearance on the Inside of You podcast, Sophia said, “Oh, I’m not going to talk about him. I’m not allowed to because I’ve tried to poke fun at being a dumb kid and whenever I’ve done that, it gets twisted into I’m talking s–t about somebody who I don’t even know anymore, who’s clearly a grown-up.”

“I think you have to laugh at who you used to be but when people ask me about history that involves someone else…it’s not worth my time. It’s not a place where I harbor ill will or anything,” she added. “I’ve tried to like, you know, do the thing where when I get stuck live on the air—which has happened to me twice—getting asked about it where I give a little…like jazz hands quip and move on. It just doesn’t work, so I’m not going to.”

She continued, “I was a very naïve 21-year-old kid and that’s all there is to it.”

Sophia DID once reveal the reason why she actually got married to Chad.

Chad Michael Murray is looking back at one of his most iconic roles as Tristan on Gilmore Girls.

During an appearance on Today, the 39-year-old opened up about the part and how fans still remember him from it.

“I believe that was my first recurring role on television,” he shared on the program. “For me, I was really just getting accustomed to the world, and I was just kind of holding on for dear life. And, you know, [Gilmore Girls creator] Amy Sherman Palladino … her writing was just so on point; it still is obviously today. And she’s so good at getting the best out of you and getting the most out of you at every moment.”

While Chad characterizes Tristan as a jerk, he revealed that not one fan can say a bad word about the character.

“[He's] the kind of guy that you know you shouldn’t be around, but you kind of want to be,” he said, before revealing that fans still have such an affection for the early season bad boy.

Chad says that “one response I always get about Tristan is how much they love him. They really do. I’ve never had anyone come up to me and say — which you would think I would receive all the time — no one has ever come up to me and said, ‘Tristan was a jerk. Why did you call her Mary?’ Never happened?”

He also spoke about working alongside Alexis Bledel as Rory, saying that she “was so committed to Rory…Alexis was awesome. She was on it. She’s the one who added to the majority of my scenes what’s right. So we would talk things out, always, to make sure that everybody’s comfortable in every scene and and you know, again, newbie coming in, I’d be the guy asking questions, because you know, maybe I’d be gone for two or three episodes, and then come back back.”

However, his favorite scenes to play were those opposite Jared Padalecki, who played Rory’s boyfriend Dean.

“These fight sequences where, you know, you’re such a jerk, but Jared is, like, the sweetest guy in the whole wide world. And the guy, we get along so well. And we’re having it out.”

Chad added, “It was always fun for me to be on set and for us to have these scenes where we absolutely despise each other, but yet behind closed doors, you know, offset like we’re just palling around and two goofy kids.”

Unfortunately, Tristan wasn’t part of the Netflix revival of the show and Chad opened up as to why.
