  • Leighton Meester: ‘Gossip Girl’ Star and Husband Adam Brody Expecting Their First Baby

    Leighton Meester, best known for her role as Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, is expecting her first baby. She and hubby Adam Brody are over the moon.

    Us Weekly reports that Meester was spotted out and about in L.A., a couple of days ahead of their pregnancy announcement. Her baby bump was front and center, however, with absolutely no mistaking that she’s expecting.

    It was Monday when the publication confirmed Leighton Meester and Adam Brody’s official news. The couple met back in 2011, on the set of The Oranges. They married in a secret ceremony–so secret that some of their former costars weren’t even invited–in February of 2014.

    “I did not go to his wedding. I think they wanted to kind of keep it super low-profile, so I did not take umbrage,” The O.C.’s Ben McKenzie said in an interview at the time. “His wife is awesome. Leighton’s great.”

    In addition to acting, Leighton Meester has quite the set of vocal cords. The actress has both written and recorded music in the past few years–even singing with Tony Bennett in an episode of Entourage. She made her Broadway debut in 2014 alongside James Franco, starring in Of Mice and Men.

    In addition to the titles of actress, singer, and wife, Leighton Meester will soon be able to add ‘mother’ to her repertoire of talents.

    Last August, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody joked about how many kids they planned to have.

    I say twelve,” he quipped. “And I decide.”

    Perhaps this pregnancy will wind up being just one of many for Leighton Meester?

    Leighton Meester Is Engaged To Adam Brody

    A new relationship has been brewing in Hollywood, and it is now advancing toward the marriage stage after a big announcement from the couple today. Leighton Meester, who is known primarily for her role in the teen drama series Gossip Girl, will be tying the knot with fellow actor, Adam Brody.

    Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are both known for their roles in television, and up until now the couple has been fairly quiet about their relationship, however, it was confirmed that they were dating earlier this year.

    The couple have tried to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible, but they were spotted having dinner with another friend in Venice, California in February.

    An observer told People Magazine at the time that “Adam put his arm around Leighton and the two smiled at each other while she snuggled into his chest before the trio headed out.”

    While Meester gained much of her popularity as Blair Waldorf on the hit show, Gossip Girl, which was mostly watched by teenagers, she also had short stints on big shows such as Entourage, House M.D. and 24. She has also appeared in several films, and has a bunch more that are currently in post-production including God Only Knows, a film about Italian gangsters, set in Boston.

    Leighton Meester also met her fiancee Adam Brody when the two appeared together in The Oranges, a film that was released in 2011. Brody became a star after appearing on The O.C., which aired on FOX from 2003 until 2007. During the time that the show was airing, he formed a relationship with his co-star Rachel Bilson, and the two famously split up in 2006.

    Before getting together with Brody, Meester previously dated Sebastian Stan and Aaron Himmelstein, who she broke up with last year.

    Some fans were not very happy with the news that the couple had been engaged, and let others know about it.

    Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are both set to appear in the upcoming film Life Partners, and earlier this year, Brody was seen in Baggage Claim.
