Chad Michael Murray’s Children Make Public Debut At ‘Freakier Friday’ Premiere, Actor Shares Family Insights

Los Angeles, California | July 29, 2025: After meticulously shielding their children from the public eye for years, actor Chad Michael Murray and his wife Sarah Roemer brought two of their children to their very first red carpet event on July 22, celebrating the premiere of the highly anticipated ‘Freaky Friday’ sequel, ‘Freakier Friday.’ This rare public appearance marked a significant moment for the family, who have largely maintained a low-profile lifestyle since Murray and Roemer secretly married and announced their first pregnancy simultaneously in 2015.

The couple, who initially met on the set of the television series ‘Chosen’ in 2013, have consistently prioritized their children’s privacy. They have opted for homeschooling and have diligently kept their children’s names out of the press, creating a protected environment away from the glare of Hollywood. “I’m really good at staying under the radar these days. My wife and I, we don’t go to the quote-unquote ‘cool’ places,” Murray told Bello Magazine back in May 2015, emphasizing his commitment to family privacy. “We have our own life, we have our dogs, we have our lifestyle that we truly enjoy, and we’ve got a cabin if we want to get away and go camping. I feel very good about my private scene. I’m going to do everything I can to protect my family and go from there.”

At the ‘Freakier Friday’ premiere, the couple’s son donned a smart white suit with sneakers, while their older daughter coordinated with her mother, Sarah Roemer, in a vibrant floral green dress. Murray, who reprises his role as Jake in the sequel, spoke openly on the red carpet about his eight-year-old daughter’s burgeoning interest in his fashion choices and her aspirations of becoming an actor herself. The couple also shares a younger daughter, born in August 2023.

Just prior to the red carpet debut, Murray offered another glimpse into their private family dynamics. On July 16, 2025, Murray revealed to Parade that the decision to expand their family for a third time was a collective one, involving their children. “We weren’t going to have a third child unless everyone was on board, including the kids,” he told the publication. “And our son wasn’t on board for pretty much the entire time until finally, one day, he goes, ‘I’d like to have a baby in the family,’ And we’re like, ‘Wow, look at that!’”

Chad Michael Murray and Sarah Roemer’s relationship timeline is marked by their consistent dedication to a private family life amidst their public careers. They welcomed their son in 2015 and their first daughter in 2017, before their third child, a daughter, arrived in 2023. This first public appearance of their children at the ‘Freakier Friday’ premiere underscores a new chapter for the family, balancing their desire for privacy with the realities of their parents’ careers.
