Sophia Bush has got engaged to her ‘favourite human’ Grant Hughes.

The One Tree Hill star announced the exciting news by sharing a picture of her boyfriend getting down on one knee on a boat in Lake Como.

Sophia, 39, wrote: ‘So it turns out that being your favorite person’s favorite person is the actual best feeling on planet Earth 💫 #YES.

‘Thank you to @comoclassicboats and @bottega53 for helping my favorite human plan the most incredible, moving surprise of my life. My heart. It bursts.’

Fans and friends piled in with messages of congratulations, including her former co-star Hilarie Burton, who commented: ‘This is the fairy tale!!!!! You deserve it, my sweet sister!!! So beyond giddy for you and can’t wait to celebrate your “happily ever after”!!!!’

Sophia went on to share further pictures from the day, including a chic snap of her fiancé driving their boat as she rocked a chic head scarf and sunglasses.

The Chicago P.D. star later tweeted: ‘The love from you all of overwhelming and beautiful and so appreciated! We cherish you!, me and @grantjhugh.’

Sophia and Grant – a tech and digital health entrepreneur – were first pictured together in May 2020, but have kept their romance relatively low-key.

This is Sophia’s second marriage, having tied the knot with her One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray in 2005 when they were both 23 years old, only to split up five months later.

Considering they were the on and off-screen love interests of one of the biggest teen shows around, the relationship and split were huge news, but Sophia is done talking about it.

Speaking on the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast, she said: ‘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 [that] I’m talking s*** about somebody who I don’t even know anymore, who’s clearly a grown-up.’

The Love, Victor star added that while she has no ‘ill will’ towards her ex-husband, she was ‘very naive’ to have got married. 

She said: ‘I was a very naive 21-year-old kid and that’s all there is to it. Lots of people do lots of stupid s–t before their prefrontal cortexes are fully formed — and they’re not until they’re 26. So you do the math on my timeline.

‘I literally didn’t have a whole brain. So I have humour and grace for being a kid, and having the experience that I have.’

Chad, also 39, is now married to actress Sarah Roemer, and they share two children together.
