Chace Crawford and Kelsey Merritt have reportedly broken up after more than a year together.

According to TMZ and People, the split was amicable, with sources noting that the two remain friends with no hard feelings. 

In April last year, the Gossip Girl star and the Filipino-American model seemingly confirmed their romance with a kiss.  

Multiple outlets reported that the two were spotted being cozy together in New York City on Friday, April 18.

Crawford is known for his role as Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012. He currently stars as The Deep in the satirical superhero show, The Boys. He was in a relationship with actress Rebecca Rittenhouse for three years until they broke up in 2019. 

Meanwhile, Merritt is the first Filipina model to ever walk on Victoria’s Secret runway. She previously dated Olympian swimmer Conor Dwyer and was linked to actor-musician Jared Leto.
