According to Us Weekly, Hilarie Burton shared a funny story during the most recent episode of her "Drama Queens' podcast with Joy Lenz and Sophia Bush. The actress admitted that she nearly met her husband, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, much earlier in life. Burton revealed that Morgan had auditioned for the role of Keith Scott on the show that made her famous, "One Tree Hill." However, the part eventually went to Craig Sheffer. "When I met Jeff, he was like, 'Oh, I auditioned for that show.' I'm like, 'Wait, what?' My husband, Jeffrey, auditioned for [Craig] Sheffer's part. He was like, 'Yeah, you know, I liked the whole gritty garage guy, that edgy thing,'" Burton said.

The actress also joked that she would have definitely had a crush on Morgan had he been cast in the role, and that the pair may have started their romance much earlier than they did. "Had Jeff shown up in those tight jeans that Sheff was wearing, I would have definitely had kids earlier!" Burton joked. Today, Morgan and Burton share two children together and even worked together on the most recent season of "The Walking Dead." While they didn't get a chance to meet earlier in life, it seems that things have worked out pretty well for the fan-favorite couple.
