Chuck Blair Son Gossip Girl

‘Gossip Girl’ Finale: Meet Chuck & Blair’s Son Henry

During the epic series finale of ‘Gossip Girl,’ through the cheers, tears and jaw-dropping moments, we got a glimpse at Chuck and Blair’s future child — and he’s just as preppy adorable as we could have hoped!
Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) tied the knot during the series finale of CW’s hit series Gossip Girl on Dec. 17. But the real revelation came during the ending flash-forward when we met their son Henry — dressed in his prep school best, naturally. He looked like the spitting image of both parents!

Gossip Girl Wedding

‘Gossip Girl’ Finale: Blair & Serena’s Wedding Dresses Revealed

The highly-anticipated finale of the hit television series, ‘Gossip Girl,’ left viewers on the edges of their seats with not one, but two weddings — and a baby! However it was the very different dresses that really got us excited. VOTE for your fave.
Back in October, we were able to get a sneak peak at the unique wedding gowns of Blair and Serena, played by Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, leading us to believe there would be back-to-back weddings — however, that wasn’t the case. Blair and Chuck, (played by Ed Westwick), tied the knot first while Serena and Dan, (played by Penn Badgley), followed in their footsteps five years later.

Gossip Girl Last Episode

‘Gossip Girl’ Series Finale Gave Us The Happy Endings Everyone Deserved

After years of drama, the final episode neatly wrapped up ‘Chair,’ ‘Dair’ & the rest of the ‘Gossip Girl’ crew’s complicated histories.
Few TV shows are able to maintain their quality throughout their runs, Gossip Girl included, so all I really wanted from the Dec. 17 series finale was for our favorite Upper East Siders to find their happy endings — and they did! Not only was the omnipotent blogger’s identity finally revealed (read on for that spoiler), but the show’s two main couples tied the knot in character-appropriate ceremonies.

Although Blair had almost no time to get ready, her intricate updo was sophisticated and romantic for their Central Park nuptials.
