“Gossip Girl” spawned multiple real-life romances, but Chace Crawford wasn’t a part of any of them.
The 40-year-old actor made it clear that he wasn’t dating any of his main co-stars, including Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, but he did admit to dating guest stars.
“Yeah, sometimes things happen, sometimes connections happen,” Crawford said during an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday.
However, he added, “I have never dated anyone on the show.”
Still, he “met people” through the CW drama.
“There are a lot of guest stars and people who are involved with the show, and I sometimes get to know them through other friends,” he said. “And I remember that was how I met people.”
Gossip Girl stars who dated in real life include Lively and Penn Badgley, who dated from 2007 to 2010, and Meester and Sebastian Stan, who dated from 2008 to 2010.
When Crawford appeared on Call Her Daddy in June 2024, he said conflicting romance between the cast was “inevitable” given that they were in their 20s at the time and spent a lot of time together.
“Gossip Girl” aired for six seasons on The CW from 2007 to 2012.
“People probably think it’s a sexy scene or something. With 60 people watching, that’s like the worst part. It’s the downtime,” he explained. “When you’re doing this show, you’re on set for about 12 to 14 hours a day, and there’s usually some pretty interesting people from all walks of life.”
Back in 2019, Crawford told Page Six that she would be open to a “Gossip Girl” reunion.
“It’s going to be hard to get the whole band back together,” he mused. “Maybe it’s a little more like ‘Friends,’ but I’d be happy to see it if there’s anything like it!”
In fact, the ‘The Boys’ star reunited with Meester, 40, last month at the Falconeri Dinner celebrating the Ultra Fine Cashmere Collection in Los Angeles, where the pair were all smiles as they posed together.
Crawford is currently dating model Kelsey Merritt. The 29-year-old has been reported to be dating since last year.
