- Josh Schwartz
♥
“Blake and Chace have amazing on screen chemistry. Their scenes are some of the most fun and sexy we have evershot.
- Stephanie Savage
♥
“It’s definitely a big story for us and their coupling is a long time coming. In the pilot, the reveal that Serena and Nate had gotten together, it sort of formed the premise of the show. You know, there’s a lot of history there, a lot of series mythology… It feels like finally putting these two together has been earned.”
- Stephanie Savage
♥
“Now we get to see this fairytale for real. Serena and Nate - the Golden Couple – finally together.”

Gossip Girl

“There they go again, making h i s t o r y!”

“Eventually we all find what we’ve been looking for… Even if it was there all along.”
- Gossip Girl
♥
“With enough time, eventually we all see what was right in front of us, and we realize, no matter how long it took, it was worth the wait.”
- Gossip Girl

The Media

“What made Serena leave town? Sure, it had to do with a lot of things. But the main reason would have to be her romance with Blair’s boytoy Nate. You may ask yourself how these underage kids got into a bar, found themselves alone at the bar, or end up kissing face against said bar, but when it’s hot, you don’t ask questions.”
- TV Guide’s Steamiest Love Scene
♥
“This couple is also very fun to watch. They come alive in a whole other way around each other.”
- Television Without Pity
♥
“She’s with the guy that d e s t i n y has picked out for her.”
