Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester is an actress known for her television and film roles. She gained widespread popularity portraying Blair Waldorf on the hit television series Gossip Girl, establishing her status as a prominent figure in 2000s teen drama television.

In 2014, Meester married fellow actor Adam Brody, who starred as Seth Cohen on The O.C. The couple has two children together, a ten-year-old daughter named Arlo and a five-year-old son. Although both parents defined an era of television for teenage audiences, reports indicate the couple is taking their time and has not yet introduced their children to the iconic television shows that made them household names.

Meester continues to star in screen projects, including Netflix's upcoming romantic comedy Guarding Stars alongside Jared Padalecki. The feature film is an adaptation of Katherine Center's 2022 romance novel The Bodyguard and is scheduled for a global streaming release on November 18 as part of a push into cozy book adaptations.
