The One Tree Hill fandom is sending their love to former star Bevin Prince, who tragically lost her husband at age 33 after he was struck by lighting off the coast of North Carolina earlier this week.
Prince’s partner of six years, William Friend, was on a boat with friends near Masonboro Island on Sunday when he was hit, according to WECT News. Emergency responders tried to revive him but he was pronounced dead in the ambulance, the outlet has reported.
The actress, 39, who is most known for playing cheerleader Bevin Mirskey in One Tree Hill, tied the knot with Friend in 2016. His death came just one week before what would have been his 34th birthday.
In the wake of his sad passing, FEMAIL has checked in on Prince and the rest of her One Tree Hill costars to see what they’re up to these days, and they have all certainly come a long way since the show came to an end 10 years ago.
While some went on to launch major careers for themselves, others stepped out of the spotlight and swapped their glamorous Hollywood lifestyles for much more private lives, with one going on to become a SoulCycle instructor and another quitting acting altogether to focus on his education.

Last month, the starlet spoke out to condemn the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, while opening up about her own termination, revealing how it enabled her to welcome a second child following years of infertility struggles.
Hilarie took to Instagram in June to speak out about the fertility struggles she faced while trying to have a second child with her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan, revealing that she had to undergo a D&C procedure – which she referred to as an abortion – after suffering a miscarriage.
She explained that the termination enabled her ‘uterus to heal’, which in turn paved the way for her to safely conceive and carry her now-four-year-old daughter George.
‘This is my child. My beloved. My daughter,’ she began her post, which featured a sweet picture of her daughter. ‘It is no secret I struggled with infertility. Losing multiple pregnancies before her was traumatic.
‘But female bodies are all different and unpredictable. Having an abortion after my fetus died allowed for my uterus to heal in a way that made it healthy enough to carry future pregnancies.’
Dilation and Curretage (known as D&C) is the most common method of early abortion. The minor surgery involves a gentle aspiration of the pregnancy tissue and possibly a mild scraping of the uterine cavity to ensure its completeness.
A D&C procedure is considered safe and will not affect the patient’s ability to get pregnant in the future. It is most often recommended to women who miscarry between ten and 12 weeks, and to any patients who have suffered an incomplete miscarriage.
The procedures are most often carried out in order to ensure that the miscarriage does not cause any complications like infection or hemorrhaging. However, the APA also notes that the process can help some women to begin emotional healing after losing a child.
