Chloe Bennet made their red carpet debut at the Nautica and LA Confidential’s Oceana Beach house party in 2014.
Austin also took to Instagram to wish his lover a happy valentine, posting a picture of Chloe wearing a pink outfit. He wrote, “Happy V Day to this little pink lady.”
The couple dated for more or less four years, which received a tremendous amount of support and love from both fans, probably excited with the cliché trope of castmates-to-actual lovers.
Unfortunately, their romance didn’t last long, as they were reported to have broken up in 2017.
“Chloe and Austin decided to part ways,” a source shared. “They have tremendous love and respect for each other, but after almost four years together, they just drifted apart,” the source added, citing that “there are no hard feelings” between the former couple.
Austin Nichols later also confirmed the heartbreaking rumor by himself.
“I am not dating anyone at the moment,” he stated. “Not married and no attachments as of yet!” he continued.
With the fact that Austin Nichols once dated his One Tree Hill castmate Sophia Bush, we can confirm that the actor is weak for beautiful castmates.
Austin once admitted in an interview that he accepted the role in One Tree Hill under one condition: his character got on with Sophia’s.
“I told Mark I only would if we could make a really powerful love story for Brooke and Julian,” he confessed. “I wanted him to give them that kind of love and story, a fountainhead love,” Austin elaborated.
However, it seems there’s more than meets the eye. It wasn’t until 2010 that Sophia admitted that she and Austin “have been dating off and on for the past four years.”
“I think someone taking a job and moving their life across the country to show you how much they care is pretty much the most romantic gesture that a person could make,” she gushed to E! News.
However, shortly after she publicly gushed about Austin and their relationship, the couple broke up for good in 2010, with several sources stating that Sophia was the one who ended things.
