Watch: Chace Crawford Talks “Gossip Girl” Reboot & “The Boys”
Chace Crawford is trying not to kiss and tell.
The Gossip Girl alum set the record straight on whether he dated any of his costars while filming the CW show with Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick and Taylor Momsen from 2007 to 2012.
“Yeah, there’s things that happen or connections that happen,” Chace said of the cast during the May 11 episode of Armchair Expert, but clarified, “I never dated anyone on the show.”
While he seemed to deny having an IRL relationship with any of the core cast, the 40-year-old did confess to hooking up with guest stars.
“There’s a lot of guest stars and people in the orbit of the show that you’d meet through other friends even,” he explained. “And I remember that was a way to meet people.”
Indeed, Chace previously hinted that he had gotten involved with someone from Gossip Girl, which also featured actors Michelle Trachtenberg, Sebastian Stan and Jessica Szohr.
“I would say those things are inevitable,” Chace shared on Call Her Daddy in 2024. “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.”

Comparing his time on set to his “college experience,” Chace noted that he had a thriving social life.
“There’s a lot of actors and people coming onto the show, over the years,” he said. “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.”
Of course, some of his costars did publicly date—including Blake and Penn; Jessica and Ed; and Leighton and Sebastian—with Chace slyly noted that he “absolutely” has kept secrets about other people who found romance on set.
