It's been seven years since Gossip Girl wrapped up its 6th and final season, however in spite of the show ending, fanatics are nonetheless now not over the robust friendship between Serena Van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf at the series. But are the actresses who play them, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, actually friends in actual life? Scroll down for the entirety we know about the pair's relationship!

Are Blake Lively and Leighton Meester friends?

Sadly, S and B don't seem to be friends in actual life, according to studies. Luckily for lovers, then again, that by no means had an affect on their fierce on-air chemistry.

“Blake and Leighton weren't friends,” Gossip Girl creator Joshua Safran informed Vanity Fair in 2017. “They have been friendly, however they were not friends like Serena and Blair. Yet the second one they’d be on set in combination, it’s as though they had been.”

Perhaps they weren't close off the air because of their contrasting personalities. “Blake could be very much in the second,” Safran added. “Blake knows what’s taking place. She is aware of this film’s coming out, this band is occurring."

On the other hand, "Leighton was very got rid of and very quiet, and, after her scenes were finished, she would wander the level. I had this image of her simply in these stunning clothes with a e book in her hand, form of just a little bit out of focus out in the corners.” 

Back in 2013, a 12 months after the display wrapped, Radar Online reported that Blake and Leighton were not speaking anymore, particularly after Blake allegedly didn't congratulate Leighton on her engagement to Adam Brody (feels like a possible Gossip Girl scene, doesn't it?).

“After one thing of a thaw in their relationship all the way through the overall two seasons of Gossip Girl, Leighton and Blake don’t talk anymore," a source shared with the outlet at the time.

"I think it’s merely a matter of either one of them being glad not to must spend 18 hours a day with each and every different, however the friendship they struggled to build on the finish of Gossip Girl has evaporated and they continue to stay as some distance away from each and every other as possible,” the insider endured.

However, fans were greatly surprised when Blake, who nearly never posts throwbacks about Gossip Girl on her Instagram account, randomly took to the social media platform to share a flashback from the show... with Leighton!

On the night time of the 2019 Emmys, she posted a pic of the 2 on stage at the 2009 Emmys retaining fingers with the caption: "10 years ago. XOXO." (The show used to be by no means nominated for an Emmy, they had been just there to present).

However, all those Upper Eastsiders noticed that Leighton didn't like or remark on the photo Blake posted even supposing she used to be tagged. In reality, Blake and Leighton don't even practice each and every different on Instagram.

Perhaps this used to be Blake's call to make up with Leighton... and most likely talk to her about an actual Gossip Girl reboot? One can hope and scheme...

XOXO,

Gossip Girl
