Gossip Girls Cast and Where Are They Now 13 Years After the Show Ended
Image
It’s been over a decade since Gossip Girl aired its final scandalous text, but the original cast has been anything but idle. From A-list marriages and chart-topping careers to heartbreaking losses and long-awaited comebacks, the stars of the iconic CW teen drama have rewritten their own scripts far beyond Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

While the 2021 Gossip Girl reboot gave a nostalgic nod to the OGs (with Michelle Trachtenberg reprising her role as Georgina Sparks), it was axed in 2023. Trachtenberg tragically passed away in February 2025 at just 39, following a liver transplant.

Showrunner Josh Schwartz once said (per TV Line):

We’ve reached out to all of them to let them know it was happening, and we would love for them to be involved if they want to be involved….They played those characters for six years, and if they felt like they were good with that, we wanted to respect that.

Penn Badgley’s Romance After Blake Lively Breakup Was “real, true, earth-shattering love”
Image
After his secret breakup with Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively in 2010, Penn Badgley wasn’t done with love, but far from it. What came next hit him like a big yellow school bus. He ended up in a relationship he later described as “real, true, earth-shattering love.”

The person he ended up falling in love with was none other than Zoe Kravitz. The two dated for a couple of years, and judging by Badgley’s comments, it was intense. And of course it was, since he is the guy who wrote songs about his relationships (more on that in a bit). Here is what he said about his time with the Catwoman actress!

How Zoe Kravitz became a turning point in Penn Badgley’s story!

Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz dated from 2011 to 2013, and while they kept things low-key, their relationship was far from ordinary. There weren’t any flashy...

“It’s never been too dramatic”: Blake Lively’s Brutal Comment After Penn Badgley Breakup Is a Stark Contrast to His Sweet Words
Image
There have been more than just a few instances in Hollywood’s entertainment industry where onscreen ships developed into offscreen real-time chemistry between the respective actors as well. While some of them go a long way, others are unable to sustain themselves and eventually sink. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley’s relationship was yet another addition to that list of many.

For one that started on the sets of the show, they both continue to be thoroughly acknowledged for — i.e., Gossip Girl — the real-life portrayers of Dan and Serena were widely shipped by fans worldwide.

“I hated my body”: You Star Penn Badgley Reveals How Body Dysmorphia Crippled His Self-Esteem

Penn Badgley gets real about body image, and it started way before Gossip Girl. Before he was serving brooding stares and mysterious monologues on You, Penn Badgley was just a kid navigating Hollywood. And a tough battle with body dysmorphia. In a refreshingly candid moment, the Gossip Girl alum opened up about struggling with body image issues long before he became the internet’s favorite stalker-next-door. He admitted to dealing with body dysmorphia as a kid. Adding that his time as a child actor only intensified his warped self-image.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder in which a person can’t stop thinking about a perceived defect or flaw in their appearance. The disorder can cause anxiety and distress, making it difficult to function in social situations and daily life.

For Penn, the spiral started after his parents’ divorce. He gained weight, felt increasingly isolated,...

Penn Badgley's Short Dating History Includes Blake Lively and Zoë Kravitz

Penn Badgley may be most famous for playing some very shady TV characters - namely "Gossip Girl"'s Dan Humphrey and "You"'s Joe Goldberg - but in real life, he seems to be very happily married. Over the years, Badgley, 36, hasn't had too many relationships in the public eye, but he did date a few famous stars before settling down with his wife, Domino Kirke.

Badgley and Kirke welcomed their first child together in September 2020, an experience Badgley once said made playing Joe on "You" more difficult because of how happy he felt in real life. "The funny thing is I was curious what my new fatherhood, how that would influence my experience with Joe and acting with him, and sometimes it was almost not helpful because I was having such light and joyful experience - still am - and Joe is so petrified," he said in a 2021 interview with Access.

"Beyond our relationship, I don't think anybody was going to be interested in me publicly," he told the publication, though he said his life changed like "night and day" after the series premiered. "I think the date was Sept. 19, 2007." Badgley and Lively's onscreen romance extended into reality in 2007, and the two had an on-and-off relationship before splitting for good in 2010.

"Our relationship in some ways saved me from forcing myself to go down that road."

You showrunner Sera Gamble has revealed that Jenna Ortega was due to reprise her role as Ellie Alves in the show’s fourth season.

Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts meant the fan-favourite actor was unable to appear but Gamble didn’t rule out Ortega’s return in the future.

Since starring as Ellie, the younger sister of Delilah (Carmela Zumbado) who is murdered by Love Quinn in season two, 20-year-old Ortega has gone on to star in last year’s Scream reboot and Netflix’s viral Wednesday series, the filming of which prevented the actor from rejoining the You cast.

“We wanted to bring Ellie back and we heard, ‘Oh, Jenna is doing some show,’” Gamble told IndieWire. “It’s been just such a pleasure to see Jenna this year. We have ideas for Ellie if her schedule allows her to visit us again.”

Penn Badgley requested ‘no more’ intimate scenes in You season 4: ‘My marriage is important to me’
Image
Penn Badgley has revealed that the “phenomenal reduction” in intimate scenes in You’s season four was made at his request.

The latest instalment of Netflix’s hit psychological thriller – released on Thursday (9 February) – finds Badlegy’s serial killer Joe taking his antics across the pond to London.

On a special episode of the actor’s podcast Podcrushed, which he co-hosts with industry colleagues Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari, Badgley shared that ahead of You’s newest series, he had asked the show’s creator Sera Gamble, “Can I just do no more intimacy scenes”?

“This was actually a decision I had made before I took the show,” he said, further explaining his reasoning: “Do I want to put myself back on a career path where I’m always [the] romantic lead?”

Badgley continued: “Fidelity, in every relationship, and especially my marriage, is important to me.”

Penn Badgley explains why he won’t do sex scenes on ‘You’ anymore
Image
Netflix’s thriller series “You,” which just returned for Season 4, has made some major changes this season. It’s set and filmed in London after spending the first three seasons in New York and California; compulsive stalker Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) has the tables turned on him, and now someone else is stalking him; and Badgley has a beard now. But maybe the biggest change is that Badgley isn’t doing sex scenes anymore.

On an episode of his podcast “Podcrushed,” Badgley explained his decision to stop doing scenes of physical intimacy on “You.”

“I asked Sera Gamble, the creator of the show, can I just do no more intimacy scenes?” the former “Gossip Girl” star said. “This is actually a decision I’d made before I took the show. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things was, like, do I...
