Gossip Girl: 12 years later, here's what the cast are doing now

The iconic Gossip Girl series came to an end in 2012.

But they packed a whole lot of drama into the 6 seasons created!

Leighton Meester played the feisty Blair Waldorf.

She has had a few smaller roles in comedies over the years, with her most recent film, a romcom called EXmas, having come out in 2023.

Meester is married to Adam Brody and the pair have daughter and a son together. 

Ed Westwick played everyone's favourite bad boy Chuck Bass. 

The English actor has played in a few films since Gossip Girl, but nothing as high-profile. He is also a musician, and was once in a band called The Filthy Youth.  

On 29 January 2024, Westwick announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Bollywood actress Amy Jackson.

Blake Lively played the bold blonde Serena van der Woodsen on the show.

Lively has gone on to become one of the most well-known cast members. She has starred in films like 2016's The Shallows and 2018's A Simple Favour.

Lively married Reynolds in 2012 and the pair have four children together. 

Crawford played the handsome Nate Archibald. 

Since Gossip Girl, Crawford has appeared on a few shows including Blood & Oil, The Boys and Casual.

His most recent confirmed relationship was with American actress Rebecca Rittenhouse. The pair were together for 3 years before they split in 2019. 

Badgley played the humble but slightly righteous Dan Humphrey on the show. 

He is now known for his role as the disarmingly charming serial killer of the series You. 

Badgley married musician Domino Kirke in 2017. He is stepfather to her son Cassius and the pair have a second son together, James. 

Momsen played Dan Humphrey's little sister Jenny.

After Gossip Girl, she quit acting to focus on her music career. She is the frontwoman for rock group The Pretty Reckless.

She successfully keeps her love life out of the spotlight - the last person she was romantically linked to was actor Nat Weller in 2011.

Szohr played Vanessa Abrams in the show from season 1 - 4. 

Szohr has starred in Ted 2, Complications, Kingdom, Twin Peaks, Shameless and The Orville. In January 2022, she launched a Gossip Girl rewatch podcast called XOXO With Jessica Szohr.

Szohr got engaged to former professional ice hockey player Brad Richardson in 2022. The pair had a daughter together in 2021.

 Kelly Rutherford played Serena's mother Lily van der Woodsen.

Rutherford appeared on Reckless, Being Mary Jane, Quantico, Jane the Virgin, Gone, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists and Dynasty after Gossip Girl.

Rutherford got into a terrible custody battle with her second husband, German businessman Daniel Giersch. The pair have two children together.
