It was love at first sight when Adam Brody met his wife, Leighton Meester!
During an appearance on Stitcher Studios’ Podcrushed podcast on Wednesday, the 43-year-old actor could not help but gush about Leighton to her former Gossip Girl co-star, Penn Badgley. All while looking back on the moment he saw her for the first time. Adam recalled that years ago their paths crossed when he was dining with friends at Canters, the Deli in Los Angeles, while the 37-year-old actress was with Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz and her castmates. The second he spotted her in the room? Adam expressed he “was smitten instantly,” saying:

AWWW!!! Although The O.C alum was head over heels for Leighton at the time, their love story did not start until years later:
However, Adam shared that Leighton has since revealed she also had a crush on him back then – even though she didn’t “pursue” a relationship with him for a long time:
And the reason Leighton did not make a move at first? Adam claimed she said she held back her feelings “because I knew if we did it would be a thing, you know, or like it’s too powerful.” To which co-host Nava Kavelin joked:
OMG! Obvi, things worked out for the pair in the end. Fans’ beloved Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf eventually got married in 2014, and they now share two children! It’s basically a CW show happy ending! You can ch-ch-check out Adam’s sweet comments about Leighton (below):
