Gossip Girl stars Penn Badgley and Taylor Momsen, who were part of the hit CW series that aired from 2007 to 2012, have reunited after more than a decade. Badgley played the role of Dan Humphrey throughout all 121 episodes, while Momsen portrayed his character's sister, Jenny, for the first four seasons before departing the show. However, she did return for the series finale in December 2012. Recently, the official Instagram account for Badgley's podcast, Podcrushed, shared a photo of the reunion with Momsen.

Everything Penn Badgley and Taylor Momsen Have Done Since Gossip Girl

Despite airing for two seasons on HBO Max starting in 2021, the Gossip Girl reboot did not see the return of Badgley or Momsen in their original roles. This makes their reunion all the more special. Since the finale of Gossip Girl, Momsen has focused on her music career as the lead singer of the band The Pretty Reckless, which was formed in 2009. She has not appeared in any movies or TV projects since then.

Badgley, on the other hand, has found success on television, albeit with some gaps in between. He had minor appearances on The Slap from 2012 to 2018, along with non-television projects. Currently, he portrays the lead character, stalker Joe Goldberg, in the Netflix series You, which is preparing for its fifth and final season.

With their careers heading in different directions, the reunion of the Gossip Girl stars is an intriguing development. Although the podcast episode featuring their discussion has not been released yet, it is expected to be available on the show's RSS feed soon. This will provide fans of the series with a deeper insight into how the relationship between the former cast members has evolved over the past decade.
