Josh Schwartz ended Gossip Girl with Blair marrying Chuck and finished up The OC with Seth marrying Summer, but in real life Seth is apparently walking down the aisle with Blair. Yes you heard us, it has been reported that Adam Brody and Leighton Meester are engaged, as the 33-year-old actor proposed earlier in the week. Mazel tov!
An insider told America's* Star magazine*: 'Leighton and Adam are crazy about each other and have talked about getting married eventually. But she had no idea when he would propose so soon! It was the surprise of her life and she's ecstatic!' The magazine reports that they will marry next summer and 'they are still deciding if they want a destination wedding or if they'll marry in southern California somewhere.'
Blair may have had that weird phase where she dated lonely boy Dan Humphrey for a season, but we would never ever have imagined she would date a person who reads comics and is friends with a toy horse. The pair both starred in The Oranges together in 2011 and went public with their relationship in February. An insider said to *US Weekly *that when they were filming 'they were always close and friendly.'

Rumours started when they were spotted 'hugging and laughing' while visiting art exhibitions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In typical OMFG Gossip Girl style onlookers took to their phones to post their own Twitter blasts such as 'Just in the same museum exhibit with Adam Brody and Leighton Meester. Enough said. #lacelebsiting.' XOXO
Josh Schwartz is quite the match maker, as he has a history of his TV stars dating. In real life Serena dated Dan, Summer dated Seth, Vanessa dated Chuck and Blair was with Carter Baizen. But if you could re-write your favourite teen dramas, break up Chuck and Blair, bring back Marissa and break up Lucas and Peyton who would you pair together?
Here are our top 5 dream teen drama couples...
What Would Summer Say! Adam Brody May Be Marrying A Rival Teen Queen
1 of 5Little J and Spike from Buffy
He's a bleach haired badass English vampire with a taste for grunge rock, long leather coats and violent sex and she's a white blonde, racoon-eyed wannabe badass who shares his taste in music, wears torn fishnets and stripper heels and wants to go to England to study at St Martins. Oh and she likes older guys.
2 of 5Peyton Sawyer and Dan Humphrey
They could live happily ever after in an exposed brick warehouse with album covers on the walls and battered old copies of Kerouac lying around. He'd write and she'd sketch while sitting on a destroyed leather couch together drinking espressos and listening to the Ramones.
3 of 5Luca Scott and Serena Van Der Woodsen
She's blonde, he's blonde. He writes novels, reads Shakespeare and is partial to an Albert Camus quote or ten and she pretends she likes novels (but she's probably only ever read Beautiful and the Damned). His novel about her would be soppy, cheesy and oh-so nice so would beat Dan Humphrey's vicious The Insider. Sadly Blake Lively would have to get a divorce and Chad Michael Murray would have to call off his engagement for this to happen in real life.
4 of 5Julie Copper and Bart Bass
These two are Schwartzs' ultimate baddies. Bart has a thing for terrible mothers (aka Lily) and Julie Cooper has a thing for money. Obvs. It's a match made in TV teen drama heaven. But not so much in real life as little things like marriage and children get in the way.
5 of 5Marissa Cooper and Chuck Bass
They are both attractive troubled rich kids with substance abuse problems and serious parent issues. Ed Westwick is British... Mischa Barton is British. They both like to whack out a dodgy cockney accent to prove they are British. Perfect.
