PDA Galore: Chace Crawford and Kelsey Merritt's Sizzling Italian Getaway!

Spotted: Chace Crawford's Sizzling Romance with Filipina Model Kelsey Merritt in Sardinia

It looks like Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford has finally found love again, and it's as hot as his latest on-screen romance! The 40-year-old hunk was seen getting cozy with stunning 28-year-old model Kelsey Merritt during a luxurious vacation in Sardinia, Italy. And trust us, their PDA-filled getaway is giving us major #RelationshipGoals!

The two were spotted splashing around in the Mediterranean Sea, cuddling on a paddleboard, and even sharing sweet kisses while sailing on a luxury yacht. We're talking full-on romance mode here, folks! Chace's toned physique was on full display as he rocked navy blue board shorts and shades, while Kelsey showed off her model figure in a sizzling black one-piece swimsuit.

But wait, there's more! The entire celebrity crew, including newly single Nina Dobrev (fresh from her breakup with Olympic skier Shaun White) and Zac Efron, was on the same luxury cruise. Yes, you read that right – the gorgeous quartet seemed to be living their best lives as they soaked up the Mediterranean sunshine, sipped cocktails, and even took turns diving into the crystal-clear waters.

Despite her recent split from fiancé Shaun White, Nina Dobrev looked absolutely stunning in a plunging black lace-trimmed cut-out swimsuit that showcased her toned figure. Meanwhile, Zac Efron flaunted his chiseled abs as he zoomed around on a water scooter and even shared a few flirtatious moments with the Vampire Diaries star.

Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry were also part of the fun-loving crew, but it was clear that Chace and Kelsey were the real stars of the show. The two have been dating for a while now (they first got linked in November 2024), but this trip marked their most public display of affection yet.

But what's really interesting is that this isn't the first time we've heard about Chace's love life. Back in June 2024, he confessed on Alex Cooper's podcast Call Her Daddy that his relationship was a "dumpster fire" – a pretty bold admission from someone as charming and eligible as Crawford!

And speaking of past loves, it seems like Chace has been quite the ladies' man over the years. He's been linked to several A-list beauties, including Carrie Underwood, Rachelle Goulding, Audrina Patridge (yep, you read that right!), and even his Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively (although he denied those rumors).

So, what does the future hold for Chace and Kelsey? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – their Sardinia getaway is giving us all the feels!

Chace Crawford: A Brief History of His Love Life

We've got a confession to make: Chace Crawford has been quite the ladies' man over the years. With his dashing good looks and charming on-screen presence, it's no wonder he's had his fair share of high-profile romances.

• Carrie Underwood: Country sweetheart Carrie was spotted getting cozy with Chace back in 2012.
• Rachelle Goulding: The British singer-songwriter was linked to the actor in 2009.
• Audrina Patridge: Yes, you read that right! The Hills star was rumored to have had a fling with Chace way back in 2008.
• Blake Lively: Although he denied it, there were rumors of a romance between Chace and his Gossip Girl co-star Blake (we can't blame him for that one though!)
• Rebecca Rittenhouse: After three years of dating, the couple split in 2018 – but not before Rebecca got engaged to Kyle Robiskie!

The Rumor Mill: Chace's Hookups and Breakups

We've all heard the rumors about celebrities hooking up with their co-stars on set. Well, it looks like Chace Crawford has some secrets of his own! During an episode of Call Her Daddy, he confessed that he had hooked up with one of his Gossip Girl co-stars (but refused to reveal who!).

When asked if he thought it was a problem, the actor replied, "I would say those things are inevitable. When you're in your 20s... the thing is you're on these things—people probably think it's these sexy scenes or whatever, that's like the worst part of it, with 60 people watching."

Chace even implied that his real-life hookup was not with one of the show's main cast members (like Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, or Taylor Momsen). "There's a lot of actors and people coming onto the show, over the years," he said. "And I was fortunate enough to have in the city a really good friend group. And everyone else has their little friend group. So you meet people in that wider circle, it's not just that tiny little circle."

The Truth About Chace's Love Life

So what does Chace Crawford think about online dating? Well, let's just say he wasn't too impressed! "I joined Raya over the summer," he revealed on Call Her Daddy. "And I was like, 'Oh great, this is gonna be terrible.' It was actually pretty cool!"

Despite his mixed experiences with love, it looks like Chace has finally found someone special in Kelsey Merritt. Who knows what the future holds for these two? One thing's for sure – their romance is giving us all the feels!
