On-Again, Off-Again: A Tale as Old as Time (or at Least The WB)
We don't know the exact date this love story began, but according to reports, it was sometime in 2006. They were both young, they were both attractive, and they were both working in The CW's golden age (remember those days?). Spoiler alert: things didn't exactly go the distance of a Lucas and Peyton romance.
Their relationship status was basically the Bermuda Triangle of Hollywood dating: a mysterious place where signals get crossed and people disappear (and reappear) without explanation. In 2010, Sophia finally confirmed they'd been dating on-and-off for four years. That's a lot of "on-again, off-again" for a show that only lasted nine seasons!
Enter Julian Baker: When Work and Love Collide (Literally)
Things got interesting (or maybe just awkward) when Austin joined the cast of One Tree Hill in 2010 as Julian Baker. Let's just say, the writers clearly weren't following Sophia's relationship rule of thumb: don't date your co-stars (especially when the showrunner promises your characters won't have a love story!).
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Their characters ended up entangled in a whole love triangle situation, which must have been a blast for everyone involved (except maybe Sophia). Unsurprisingly, things fizzled out for Sophia and Austin in 2012.
The Takeaway: So, How Long Did They Last?
The exact timeline is a little fuzzy, but based on Sophia's comments, it seems like they dated on-and-off for around four years. Hollywood romances, folks. They're just like us!
