Once, they were childhood friends who didn't get along.
Tied by their families, both were forced to be homeschooled together for two years.
Nine fateful years later, they were brought together by a show,
playing the cornerstone couple, spending lots of time together while shooting,
which eventually made them realize how much they were meant for each other.

Blake Christina Lively

Keeping it discrete at first, Penn and Blake have been subject
of talks about having an offscreen relationship since the fourth
quarter of 2007. Sightings kept on coming, yet, pictures were
scarce. But despite their declination of confirming their rumors,
people never gave up on pursuing what was up between the two.

Penn Dayton Badgley

On May 2008, People magazine posted pictures of these two
canoodling and kissing in a beach resort in Mexico.
That was enough proof for everyone.
Since then, Penn and Blake kept on spreading their love
on the streets of NY, during events,
while shooting Gossip Girl, and even in front of their parents.


Badge and Blake

True love is never easy to find. So once you do,
you should keep it forever.
They are the real life Dan & Serena.

“I was actually just texting Blake. We’re really close.”
“We have this Serena and Dan complex going,
so people freak out if they see the two of us.”
“But Blake Lively -- who plays Serena -- is
beautiful and cool, so I'm not complaining.
Absolutely. She is beautiful.”
“Her laugh is infectious.”
- Penn Badgley

“Yay. I love you, Penn!”
“We're the best of friends.”
“Because he's amazing at medium, like me.”
“Penn [Badgley]does these silly dance moves,
and he’s very witty and quick, so it’s fun to
have sharp banter with him.”
- Blake Lively

“I think she's incredible.
She's an amazing person
and she's beautiful – so
there's not a lot to dislike.”
- Penn Badgley

“When you’re saying these words [from the script]
that people are making you say to one another,
nothing about it is real or genuine. So if two
people connect outside their characters,
then that’s how they get together.”
- Blake Lively

“I think people are going to love them
as a couple," he said. "They're a very
hot couple. They look good together.
And I think they're good for each
other, so why not?”
- Matthew Settle

“I think they've known each other for a long time,” she says.
“They're both so together and whatever happens is their
business, and I think they're both darling
and very together as people.”
- Kelly Rutherford

I was having lunch with a friend the other day at Pita Kitchen in
Sherman Oaks, CA and spotted Blake Lively and Penn Badgley
lunching on shawarma and falafel. I tried to snap the best
possible picture without annoying them, but unfortunately
Penn's back is to the camera. It is a bit difficult to see, but I
guarantee that it is indeed the two of them lunching together.
