Jessica Simpson Offers Support to Celebrity Couple Over Marriage Rumors  9/2/05

Jessica Simpson has offered her sympathy to Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush, who are currently fighting off reports that their marriage is in trouble.

Just weeks after the couple exchanged nuptials in April (05), rumors began to swirl that the One Tree Hill co-stars' union had already hit turbulence.

And pop beauty Simpson, who has been battling similar reports about her and husband Nick Lachey for much of the year, has offered her support to the photogenic pair.

Bush says, "Jessica Simpson came up to us and said, 'It's starting for you guys now.' We were like, 'You know what? Whatever.'

"What are you going to do? People get bored. They make stuff up... You have to laugh at it - it's very funny."
