It has been 12 years since "Gossip Girl" first won fans over with glorious fashion and drama on the Upper East Side of New York City.
The hit teen show drew millions of viewers during its six-season run on The CW. It became one of the most popular dramas on television and the cast members were catapulted to star status. So popular, in fact, that it's being rebooted at WarnerMedia's upcoming streaming service, HBO Max.
The heartthrobs have since been up to a number of projects in the time since.

Over the past few years, Lively starred in "The Shallows," "All I See Is You," and "A Simple Favor." Most recently, she filmed "The Rhythm Section" and looked unrecognizable on the set of the upcoming movie, which is scheduled to hit theaters in November.
She's also in the midst of raising two adorable daughters with Ryan Reynolds, whom she married in 2012.

In 2018, she revealed she has no interest in reprising her role as the Upper East Side's queen bee.
"A lot of the questions that come from it are: 'Do you miss it?' 'Did you love what you wore?' And I understand that, but — and I say this with nothing but love — it is like saying, 'High school was an amazing time for you, do you wish you could go back?'" she told PorterEdit. "And the truth is, it was so special and such a unique, amazing experience, but no, I wouldn't wanna go back to it, I was a kid!"
Penn Badgley was nominated for a Teen Choice Award six times for playing Lonely Boy, aka Brooklyn babe Dan Humphrey.

Paolo remained friends with Momsen after they both left the show and has said that he'd do anything to get her back in front of he camera.
"If I'm ever in a position to cast anything or to put anything together, she's always at the top of my list," he told The Hollywood Reporter.
