When Adam Brody became the internet’s boyfriend a few months back, people started acting weird around Leighton Meester.

Of course, long before audiences became obsessed with Brody’s turn as a hot rabbi in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, both he and Meester were cemented in the pop culture firmament as teen drama icons.

She was Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf. He was The OC’s Seth Cohen. And it warmed everyone’s cold little hearts that actors from two beloved mid-aughts shows had ended up together in real life.

But when the couple – who have been married since 2014 – showed up at the Golden Globes in January, the vibes were off. Reporters on the red carpet could not stop fawning over Brody during interviews, to the point where he had to step in and attempt to make things less awkward.

“Your date is the Hot Rabbi,” an Entertainment Tonight host gushed to Meester.

“And she’s my real shiksa goddess,” Brody duly pointed out.
