“It’s our dude’s birthday!! Hope you are having the happiest day @chadmichaelmurray! How the hell have we known each other this long?!?” the Rural Diaries author, 38, wrote via Instagram on Monday, August 24, to celebrate Murray’s 39th birthday. “As many memories as we all have together, what I love most is NOW.

“We were such angsty kids, and now here we are. Tamed. Happy,” Burton continued in her caption. “It’s the comfort we were looking for our whole lives and I’m so happy you found yours. Give mama and babies a big ol hug from me. Morgans send love from the farm. Xoxoxo.”
Although the actors appeared in one episode of Dawson’s Creek together — Murray had a recurring role and Burton made a cameo — it wasn’t until the following year that One Tree Hill began, with the pair leading as Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer. Their characters had an on-off relationship, eventually getting married, having a child and leaving town. Both actors chose to exit the show in 2009.
