Chace Crawford claimed that he had love relationships off-screen after his professional interactions on Gossip Girl become amorous. Here’s what he had to say about getting into relationships with co-stars.

There’s one secret Chace Crawford will never tell. And that’s which one of his Gossip Girl costars he’s hooked up with because, yes, apparently it happened.

“I would say those things are inevitable,” Chase coyly confirmed to Alex Cooper during his appearance on the June 12 episode of Call Her Daddy. “When you’re in your 20s… the thing is you’re on these things—people probably think it’s these 𝓈ℯ𝓍y scenes or whatever, that’s like the worst part of it, with 60 people watching. It’s the downtime. You’re doing this show, you’re on set for like 12-14 hours a day and usually there’s some pretty interesting people from all walks of life.”

But before fans jump to conclusions, the 38-year-old hinted it may not have been one of the show’s main cast members, which included actors such as Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Michelle Trachtenberg and Jessica Szohr.

“There’s a lot of actors and people coming onto the show, over the years,” he noted. “And I was fortunate enough to have in the city a really good friend group. And everyone else has their little friend group. So you meet people in that wider circle, it’s not just that tiny little circle. There’s a lot of people involved. But again, it was like our college experience.”

And on whether The Boys star ever knew of relationships between costars he helped keep secret? “Oh yeah,” he answered. “Absolutely.”

This, assumedly, doesn’t include the show’s IRL couples that were very much public knowledge, such as Blake and Penn Badgley, Jessica and Ed Westwick as well as Leighton and Sebastian Stan—all of whom have since moved on to new partners.

But Chace—who played Nate Archibald over Gossip Girl‘s six seasons—also gave an inside look into what makes encounters such as these “inevitable” for him.

“The danger is if you connect right away with sense of humor, at least for me,” he confessed. “Like if you have a rapport and can kind of banter, and give each other s–t. I’m like, ‘Oh, I gotta watch out.'”

And for more on what Chace and his fellow gossiping alum are up to today, keep reading. XOXO.

Blake Lively

The actress, who portrayed It Girl Serena van der Woodsen, has been keeping very busy since the end of Gossip Girl. A few months prior to the 2012 finale, Lively tied the knot with actor Ryan Reynolds and they’re now the proud parents to four kids: daughters James, Inez and Betty and son Olin, born in 2023. In recent years, she’s starred in hit movies The Age of Adaline, The Shallows, A Simple Favor and The Rhythm Section.

Penn Badgley

Lonely Boy no more! Following his run as Dan Humphrey (who, spoiler alert, was ultimately revealed to be Gossip Girl), Badgley has been making headlines for his turn as stalker Joe Goldberg on the hit Netflix series You.

On a more personal note, Badgley is also a married man. The actor tied the knot with Domino Kirke, the sister of Girls actress Jemima Kirke, in Feb. 2017. They welcomed their first 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 together in August 2020. Of course, fans of GG remember Badgley and Lively dated during the show’s early run before splitting in 2010.

Leighton Meester

The actress—a.k.a. privileged Upper East Sider Blair Waldorf—has been making a splash in the comedy world in recent years, starring in ABC’s Single Parents.

Meester married actor Adam Brody (aka The O.C.‘s Seth Cohen) and they’re parents of a daughter named Arlo, born in 2015, and a son born in 2020, whose name has not been revealed.

Chace Crawford

For six seasons, viewers swooned over Crawford’s character Nate Archibald. Since the 2012 finale, Crawford has starred in ABC’s Blood & Oil, as well as films Eloise and All About Nina. Crawford now stars in the Amazon original series The Boys, renewed for a fifth and final season in May 2024.

Ed Westwick

Westwick rose to fame as Chuck Bass and after hanging up his character’s signature scarf, he went on to appear in 2013’s Romeo & Juliet and star in 2015’s short-lived ABC drama Wicked City. He also starred in the British TV series White Gold.

In the fall of 2017, the Los Angeles Police Department started an investigation into 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault allegations made by several women against Westwick, which he denied. In July 2018, the Los Angeles County District Attorney declined to prosecute Westwick after determining there wasn’t enough evidence to file charges in two instances and a third accuser failed to cooperate with investigators.

For the last few years, Westwick has been a relationship with actress Amy Jackson. They announced their engagement in January 2024, marrying in Italy that August.

Taylor Momsen

Little J has come a long way since her days trying to snag a place in Blair’s crew. Momsen was just 14 when she starred as Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, though she left the show in 2010 as music was her ultimate passion from an early age. She went on to form and front her band The Pretty Reckless when she was 17.

As for a potential return to acting? “I never say never anymore in life, especially now with all the curveballs the world is throwing everyone,” she told E! at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards, her first red carpet in five years. “But no immediate plans.”
