Are Blake Lively and Leighton Meester friends?

While they may have been on-screen best friends, it appears that Blake and Leighton’s real-life friendship was quite different.

For a long time, there has been speculation about the two actresses’ friendship, leading many fans to wonder if they are actually friends in real life.

But it doesn’t seem to be the case between the two.

Are Blake Lively and Leighton Meester friends?

On the hit CW series Gossip Girl, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester played on-screen rivals for six seasons.

Despite the fact that their characters appeared to be inseparable, it doesn’t appear that the two were as close in real life as they appeared on screen.

While they were friendly and attended events, award shows, and photo shoots together, it was mostly for the series’ promotion.

Their friendship ended when the show ended in 2012. While they were friendly and professional on set, former Gossip Girl producer Joshua Safran made it clear that they were not friends in real life.

Despite the fact that they were not best friends, rumors of a long-running feud were false.
