While it was eventually revealed that Blake Lively and Penn Badgley were the hottest new couple in Hollywood, the two kept a low profile as a couple.
In 2010, the co-stars decided to call it quits.
“The shocking thing was, I found out on the set of the Season 2 finale that Blake and Penn had broken up months before,” co-producer and writer Joshua Safran told Vanity Fair during their “Gossip Girl” 10-year anniversary interview.
Additionally, Safran stated, “They kept the breakup from the crew hidden, which is impossible now. I’m not sure how they did it.
They kept it hidden from everyone, which is a testament to their acting abilities.”
Did Blake Lively and Penn Badgley date in real life?
Despite the fact that the couple had split up in real life, Badgley and Lively maintained a professional demeanor throughout the filming of the iconic series.
People have been wondering if they are still friends because they haven’t been seen together in a long time.
