“Gossip Girl” spawned multiple real-life romances, but Chace Crawford wasn’t part of any of them.
The actor, 40, clarified that he didn’t date any of his main co-stars — which included Blake Lively and Leighton Meester — but did admit that he had hooked up with guest stars.
“Yeah, there’s things that happen or connections that happen,” Crawford said during his appearance on the “Armchair Expert” podcast that was released Monday.
But he added, “I never dated anyone on the show.”
Still, he did “meet people” through the CW drama.
“There’s a lot of guest stars and people in the orbit of the show that you’d meet through other friends even,” he shared. “And I remember that was a way to meet people.”
“Gossip Girl” stars that did date in real-life include Lively and Penn Badgley, who dated from 2007 to 2010, as well as Meester and Sebastian Stan, who dated from 2008 to 2010.
During Crawford’s appearance on “Call Her Daddy” in June 2024, he said off-set romances between the cast was “inevitable” given that they were in their 20s at the time and spending a lot of time together.
“Gossip Girl” ran for six seasons on the CW, from 2007 to 2012.
“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,” he explained. “You’re doing this show, you’re on set for like 12 to 14 hours a day and usually there’s some pretty interesting people from all walks of life.”
Back in 2019, Crawford told Page Six he was open to a “Gossip Girl” reunion.
“It’d be tough to get the whole band back together,” he mused. “It might be a little more like ‘Friends,’ but I’d be open to looking at something!”
“The Boys” star actually reunited with Meester, 40, last month at the Falconeri Dinner celebrating the Ultrafine Cashmere Collection in Los Angeles, the two flashing big smiles as they posed together.
Crawford is now dating model Kelsey Merritt. 29, whom he’s been linked to since last year.
