Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are the real-life crossover couple — a.k.a. Blair Waldorf and Seth Cohen — that television has blessed Us with.
The Gossip Girl alum and the former O.C. star started dating in 2013. Although they generally keep their romance under wraps, the pair have shared sweet sentiments about each other over the years.
“I wouldn’t change anything [in the past] because I’m happy where I am now,” Meester told PorterEdit in September 2018. “And I think that’s one of the many wonderful parts of not only having a child and meeting your soulmate, but also, I feel really lucky career-wise, really in a place that I want to be.”
Meanwhile, Brody, who wed the actress in 2014, revealed a playful detail about his marriage to Meester during a 2014 Reddit chat while responding to a fan who asked about their relationship: “I do some stuff, but she does the heavy lifting figuratively. Literally I do the heavy lifting.”
