Sophia’s officially on twitter. Check her twitter account out at @sophiabush!

Kissing costars Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols aren’t hiding their relationship anymore, but who knew they’ve actually been dating for years?

It was news to us when the One Tree Hill star shared that tidbit last night at E!’s 20th birthday bash.

“We’ve been dating off and on for the past four years,” Sophia told me at the London West Hollywood hotel.

Sophia was understandably wary about dating a costar after what she refers to as the “Chad [Michael Murray] debacle,” but Austin made a grand gesture that convinced her to go for it…

“I was pretty terrified,” she admitted, referring to her marriage to her former costar. But it turns out that Austin actually took a job on One Tree Hill to be with her!

“We had so many years of history prior to him coming to work on the show,” she explained, “and 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.” (Source)

The good news for fans of “One Tree Hill” and “Life Unexpected” is that both series will be on The CW in the fall. The (potentially) bad news is that at the moment, they aren’t guaranteed full seasons.

“We don’t know if they’re going to come back yet for 22 episodes each,” CW Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said Thursday (May 20) at the network’s upfront. “They may. We haven’t really talked about exact numbers yet.”

Ostroff also says that each show will likely start off with a 13-episode order, and additional shows will be determined by how well they perform (they’re paired up on Tuesday nights in the fall). The CW will likely be ordering more shows for midseason as well — so far the only midseason pickup is a reality show called “Shedding for the Wedding” — and will need to find spots for them, which would mean benching some shows for a while.

Nonetheless, Ostroff says “OTH” and “Lux” will “probably” end up with 22-episode orders. “Our main concern was getting them on together in the fall,” she says. “Then we’ll also have some midseason [shows] behind it.”

Sophia Bush, who shot a pilot for ABC this spring (it wasn’t picked up), will be returning to “One Tree Hill,” Ostroff says.

It will be a celebration of the most important things, among them the quest for love, laughter, health, friends, career and family: timeless pursuits that have always mattered, and matter now, in a place called Tree Hill.

As expected, The CW has opted to bring back One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected next season.

There’s no word on the exact episode orders, but I’m hearing both will return for at least 12 eps apiece. (Source)

The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and silent auction at 6:30 pm – including fabulous celebrity autographed memorabilia, vacation getaways and experiential packages – followed by a one of a kind live auction featuring the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Coup, gala dinner, and live entertainment.
