Actor Chace Crawford, 41, and model Kelsey Merritt, 29, have ended their relationship after more than a year together, according to reports.
Sources told TMZ that the split was amicable and the two remain friends. Crawford and Merritt were last seen together in April. They were first romantically linked in November 2024 and made their relationship Instagram official in July 2025.
Their last public appearance was at the Falconeri Dinner at Getty House on April 23, 2026. The pair had previously fueled dating rumors in 2024 after following each other on Instagram and posting similar photos from St. Barts.
In June 2024, Crawford, who is best known for his role as Nate Archibald in 'Gossip Girl,' revealed on Alex Cooper's podcast 'Call Her Daddy' that his love life was a "dumpster fire." He also admitted to having had relationships with co-stars during his time on the hit CW teen drama, stating that such occurrences were "inevitable" given the long hours and close proximity of filming.
Crawford joined the celebrity dating app Raya the previous summer, noting that online dating had been a difficult experience for him. His last public relationship before Merritt was with actress Rebecca Rittenhouse, whom he dated for three years before splitting in 2018.
Merritt, who made history as the first Filipino woman to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2018, has previously been linked to James Marsden, Jared Leto, and Olympic swimmer Conor Dwyer.
