About Chad

Chad Michael Murray was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. When
he was 10 his mum left the family so his dad raised him and his 4 brothers and
1 sister. At age fifteen, he had his small intestine removed. While he was in the hospital,
a nurse encouraged him to pursue a modeling career. In 1999, after graduating, Chad
headed for Hollywood where he supported himself modeling for such clients as Sketchers,
Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci while looking for a break. Soon after he arrived, Chad appeared in
several guest-starring television roles on shows like Gilmore Girls and Dawson’s Creek.
Since 2003,he is the lead actor on the CW show One Tree Hill. On the big screen, he
starred on movies like Freaky Friday, A Cinderella Story, House of Wax, and the recent Home
of the brave. Currently living in Los Angeles and Wilmington, Chad loves football, is an
anti-drug role model for kids and is active in charities for children and teens.






Chad&Kenzie: The Story So Far

Their story begins in December of 2005. A quiet relationship began on the set of One Tree Hill
in Wilmington, North Carolina. While rumors soon spread like wildfire, it wasn’t until April of 2006 that
Chad and Kenzie went public with their relationship at the 3rd Annual Charity Basketball Game. The
next day, People.com began reporting that Chad and Kenzie were in fact engaged. Shortly after,
the two made an appearance at the North Carolina Azalea Festival, in which Kenzie was a participant.
Towards the end of May, Chad accompanied Kenzie to the So You Want To Be A Model Contest in
Florida, where he cheered her on and provided his support. Late August found Chad and Kenzie in
California for the Teen Choice Awards.Kenzie then provided her support for Chad when the two
attended the premiere of his new movie “Home of the Brave”.

2007 has been quite the year for CK. In January, Chad and Kenzie attended the Screen Actors Guild
Awards show in LA. As March drew to a close, CK supporters waited in anticipation as Chad and Kenzie
attended the 4th Annual Charity Basketball Game. Supporters couldn’t help but remember that it was
the same time the year before that the two had made their relationship public. The month of May saw
Chad and Kenzie in LA attending the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. As June
draws to a close, Chad and Kenzie have traveled across the ocean. After a brief stop in LA to attend
the 18th Annual A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival event that benefits children affected by AIDS,
the two headed to France for the Monte Carlo Television Festival.

No matter where Chad and Kenzie show up, East Coast or West, the love that these two share is
always evident. They have been supportive in whatever endeavor the other has chosen to follow,
whether its college or movies.

And we, as CK supporters, will continue to support them. To defend the love that they share.
And to show our support for their relationship in whatever way we can.

Best of luck to Chad and Kenzie. May the future bring them happiness, laughter and lots of love.

Chad&Kenzie In Our Own Words

It has been over a year almost two since they are together
and I have been supporting them since then. Everyday I feel
like today's post is worth dedicated to them. The only impression
I wanna give is that Chad & Kenzie are nothing but wonderful and
caring and you see it, that Kenzie gives and Chad gives and when
there is nothing to give... they keep on giving anyway. The love you
see in their eyes is a treasure beyond everything you could have ever
imagined. In spite of that, the most endearing quality is the ability they
find in each other and the way they reflect it to us and how I enjoy that.
That is one of the main reasons what I love about Chad & Kenzie and how
I hope and wish for them to continue with the love they have and reflect it.
But mostly, how they make me happy as I rush through this life, how they
help to create more laughter than tears, how they don’t make me feel
indifferent, how they help me remember that my total effort is to cheer,
how they make me forget at least momentarily the unpleasentness in my
life and in my final moment may I certainly remember that when they smiled,
I smiled.
~ OneGoodFan (Es) ~


The reason I support Chad & Kenzie is because I see Chad
happy & smiling. She makes his a better man with every part
of his life, whetherit's his work, hispersonal life, his choices. He
seems to be more at ease, morerelaxed & truly happy & in love.
I don't think I ever looked at him & saw him trulyhappy like He is
with her. When I see them together I see the stillness & tenderness
they hold with each other & it warms my heart to know they both found
home in each others heart. Chad had been through a hard time & she
managed to pull him out & lift him up, to a higher ground. She is a sweet
person & to me the fact they are not so public about their relationship makes
me appreciate what they have even more, cause it's some thing so precious,
they want to protect it with all their heart and that's beautiful.
~ hotchad (Gal) ~


CK doesn't only stand for Chad and Kenzie..
Those two initials represent love at its purest as that is what CK are.
Two people who are not afraid to show their love, even when times get rough.
Standing by each other in every obstacle and loving each other's faults. Being
able to do everything together! Decorating their future home, making meals for
each other, staying in at night to enjoy the other's company. Kenzie supports Chad
in everything he does, and has made him into the person he is today. You can see
the glow in his eyes, the way he looks at his fiancee is all the proof anyone needs to
see this! I wish them all the luck in the world, and am looking foward to many years with
thiscouple! I do not just support CK, but I also support Chad and Kenzie as individuals.
~ Sunshine_03 (Marie) ~


Falling in love is indescribable. Everyone deserves that chance.
That chance to fall in love with someone who makes you weak in the
knees. That chance to fall in love with someone who makes your heart
beat fast and the world seemingly stop when you’re in their presence. That
chance to feel loved,and cherished, and safe. Chad and Kenzie have found
that. They loveeach otherand want to spend the rest of their lives walking
hand-in-hand. As long as the two of them are happy, that is all that matters
to me. Chad and Kenzie put smiles on each others face and genuinely seem to
care about each other. I love the fact that they are keeping this relationship private
and out of the spotlight as much as possible. Living in today’s world, with all of the
technology that we have, can prove to be difficult at times. But the fact that they are
trying to protect something that is so fragile and precious to them shows just how much
this relationship means to them. I wish them all the best in the future and all the
happiness, love and joy that life can bring.
~ SoLongSelf (Becca) ~


I love Chad&Kenzie because their love is everything I wish to all of us…
Happiness, passion, complicitê. To share every moment of your life with the
person you love, to have your secret garden and catch the moment. Chad&Kenzie
make me believe and hope I’ll find a true love like theirs. In all of their looks, kisses,
smiles, you can see and feel the love and respect they have for each other.
Chad&Kenzie means true love.

I had always been a big Chad fan. I had thought he was perfect in everything;
the way he looked, the way he spoke, the way he acted, etc. I had always spoken
about how I adored him, but after his spilt with his wife, I decided it was better for
me not to speak. I was afraid people would think of me as someone who just likes
someone for the way they look or whatever even though they are a "cheater". I started
to speak poorly of Chad to my friends, even though I was lying about how I thought
of him. After a while, I actually started to believe what was coming out of my mouth.
I began to give up hope on Chad's persona when Kenzie came into the picture. Like many,
I didn't really like Kenzie. I thought the same thoughts that everyone and their mother
thought about her too. I was still bashing Chad at the time, when I realized something.
Instead of bashing who Chad is with, I should just be happy for him whoever he is with because
he has found happiness inside. Overtime, she grew on me. I saw the way they acted at events,
and I saw something that surprised me; love. I started to appreciate Chad and Kenzie more. But
I fell in love with them on March 23, 2007. That was the day I first saw them in real life shooting
the S4 finale of "OTH". I witnessed how after every take, Chad came rushing over to Kenzie just to be
with her. And the next day at the charity game, I saw their love for each other even more. Everyday
I see the love of CK blossom even more and I so proud to be a CK shipper. Because in the end,
for me, I only care about who or what makes Chad happy.
~ AmeliaBeck (Amelia) ~


I have been a fan of Chad for more than 2 years so far.
He means much to me and all that matters to me is to see him happy. That’s
why I love and support Chad&Kenzie. Because she makes him happy. Because
after a hard time in his life, this tiny beautiful girl put the smile back on his face.
That’s all that matters to me. I love and support them because the love they share
is pure and true. They are always there for each other, they support each other in all the
important moments of their life. I love them because they are always together, as they
couldn’t stay far from each other. I love them because in every gesture, in every kiss and
smile, you can see they share something deep. I’ve been supporting them since the beginning,
when I first heard about Chad dating again. I saw them growing together, attending events
together, and I’ve always seen the same deep connection and the same sweet attention they have
for each other. They have built up and defended their relationship against everything and
everyone and now their feelings for each other are stronger than their bashers can imagine. Nobody
can say what the future has in store for them, but right now they are one of the most in love couples
I’ve seen and I firmly believe they have what’s needed to make it work. Forever.
Protection, attention, fun, privacy, respect, trust, support, honesty.
~ Manu9 (Manu) ~


I don't really care much about Chad's love life;
I really just support Chad and whomever he's dating,
and I generally like most people. Because I don't know that
much about Chad/Kenzie, I can't say much about what I really
like about them as a couple. I like that they both strike me as
nice people. I like that they seem happy together. I also respect
that they've been relatively private about their relationship, even
when there was a lot of focus on their relationship for a short period
in 2006. Finally, I trust Chad to know what's right for him, as he and
Kenzie are the only ones who really know what's going on in their relationship;
if Chad's with Kenzie, I assume that he considers her to be "right" for him.
I wish them the best for the future. They seem very content together, and
that's really all I could hope for any couple.
~ RoxyBlueGirl7 (Laura) ~


The main reason why I like Chad&Kenzie is that it’s evident
they are in love and their love is stronger than all the bad things that have been
said about them. They have kept dreaming together and here they are, happier
than ever and more in love than ever. At first I didn’t like them, but their magic
love made me change idea and become a CK supporter.

Chad Quotes On Kenzie

"Imagine you are walking along and you trip over something and you turn around and find that it is a huge diamond.
You would pick it up and do everything in your power to take care of that diamond
because it might take care of you for the rest of your life."

“There are certain people who put out a very mature sense and are able to handle different things at different points in their life.
She is a very smart and motivated human being. I believe in an innate connection that can’t be explained.
She gets me - and that’s what’s important.”

Night noises are incredibly peaceful”

so she was
cheering on our show for a while. I met her, and she just makes me a better man. That’s all I could ever ask for.
She leads by example, which makes me stronger. I’m just surprised."

"We’re just incredibly, intensely happy."

"I try to do anything I can to make her happy."
