While the drama and fashion statements keep fans coming back for every episode of Gossip Girl, this popular teen drama also has some incredible relationships. Season 1 establishes Chuck and Blair and Serena and Dan's on-again, off-again love stories, and fans have many thoughts about which characters have the best chemistry and who should stay together.
Fans are discussing some of the most memorable Gossip Girl romances on Reddit, from the most popular couples who have gotten happy endings to the pairs who sadly can't move past their problems.
Carter And Serena
Reddit user SM249 loves Serena and Carter's season 3 relationship and said "they were mirrors of each other."
Carter's presence on the series is definitely interesting, especially since he doesn't get along with Nate and Chuck. Serena's love life is fascinating as she's sometimes attracted to rebels and it takes her a while to realize that a kind and caring partner is the best person for her to be with.
Blair And Chuck
Blair and Chuck cause each other pain in many Gossip Girl episodes and many fans describe their relationship as "toxic." But even though there are many issues with their romance, they are still a classic couple that fans will always associate with the show.
Reddit user releasewifi loves this pair and wrote, "Whenever they break up they always get pulled back to eachother and they are magnetic." It's true that these characters have a very long arc and they are always involved in some kind of drama.
Blair And Dan
Blair and Dan's love story might come as a shock at first for many viewers, but many people have come around and they believe that they have one of the best relationships on Gossip Girl.
Reddit user Main-Example-2449 loves "Blair and Dan!!!" Reddit user HeightImaginary5999 agreed because "He got her to actually be vulnerable and a little more humble." Fans really like the positive influence that Dan has on Blair.
Dan And Serena
While Serena and Dan hurt each other on Gossip Girl, they're always going to be a popular couple. For Reddit user Court_95, "Serena and Dan" is their favorite pair.
There's something about this couple's bond that keeps fans invested in their love story. They start spending time together in season 1 and their relationship definitely evolves over the years. Even the reveal that Dan is Gossip Girl doesn't stop them from staying together and they get married in the series finale, a happy moment for fans who have always thought that they had perfect chemistry.
Eleanor And Cyrus
For Reddit user zoealexloza, Eleanor and Cyrus have a great romance because "In the midst of all the drama, it's nice to see a happy, healthy relationship."
When Blair learns about Cyrus in the season 2 episode "Bonfire of the Vanity," she totally loathes him, but when they get married in the episode "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?" it's clear to viewers that they're meant to be and that they have something sweet and special.
Nate And Vanessa
Nate and Vanessa might not be together for very long, with Nate saying that he can't commit at the end of season 1, but some fans think that they're one of the best pairs on the series.
Reddit user TurbulentZebra wrote, "Always felt like they had great chemistry even though the writing didn't support their ship at all." For Nate and Vanessa, it always seems to be a matter of timing, but they share a lot as they both feel like they don't fit in with the people around them.
Rufus And Lily
Rufus is a great Gossip Girl parent and it's sweet watching his bond with Lily going strong after they have known each other for so many years. Although they don't get a happy ending, they're a popular pair thanks to their history.
Reddit user aryyberryy wrote "I really like Lily and Rufus!" and Reddit user wordsmithfantasist agreed, "wish they'd stayed together." Like many unrequited TV couples, perhaps the fact that they have so many complications is what makes their story feel so romantic.
Nate And Serena
When it comes to the best Gossip Girl relationships, Reddit user Apple-pie-best-pie likes "Nate and Serena" and one Redditor replied, "Serena gave him up way too quickly."
While Serena and Nate sleep together when he's still dating Blair, which is definitely messy and the wrong decision, they do start a real relationship in season 3. Fans appreciate the sparks that fly between them and the genuine friendship that they have.
Olivia And Dan
A Gossip Girl character who appeared briefly, Olivia makes quite an impression. Olivia and Dan fall for each other, even though he doesn't know that she's really a super famous actor.
Reddit user Karebear- likes this couple, writing, "Dan and Olivia were cute to me too." There's something about this love story that works for a lot of fans, even though many prefer Dan with Serena or Blair.
Vanya And Dorota
For one Redditor, of all the Gossip Girl couples, "Dorota and Vanya were precious, and funny."
Several fans consider this to be the sweetest relationship from the teen drama. They get married in the season 3 episode "The Unblairable Lightness of Being" when Dorota is pregnant, and Blair makes sure that it's a magical event. It's really great to see Dorota get her own storyline and find happiness as she is such a meaningful part of Blair's life.
