Is it official? Chace Crawford, Kelsey Merritt spotted kissing in New York
Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford and Filipino-American model Kelsey Merritt seemingly confirmed their romance with a kiss.
Multiple outlets, including PEOPLE Magazine and E! News reported that the two were spotted being cozy together in New York City on Friday, April 18.
In the photos, the 39-year-old actor wore a gray sweatshirt, denim jeans with a black Nike cap and white sneakers, while Merritt donned a simple white T-shirt and jeans with a beige and brown bomber jacket. She was seen carrying a Birkin 25 and a Khaite shopping bag. They both sported black sunglasses.
The 28-year-old model was also seen wearing the same outfit in her photo shared via Instagram story on Friday.
Crawford and Merritt first sparked dating rumors after they were spotted together in Los Angeles last January. Eagle-eyed social media users also noticed their seemingly similar social media posts during a holiday trip in St. Barts.
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.
