Gossip Girl's Nate Spotted Kissing New Love Interest

Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford, who plays the gorgeous Nate Archibald on the show, was seen getting very up close and personal with actress Ella Rae Peck as they filmed steamy scenes for the second half of Season 5 in New York.

Ella Rae Peck is Nate's new love interest on the show, and the two have been very busy shooting scenes together and strolling through Manhattan kissing.

Isn’t it nice to see Nate embracing someone outside the small, insular world of his regular clique? And someone more of his own age bracket after his affair with Diana Payne, played by Elizabeth Hurley!

Meanwhile Nate's former girlfriend Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) is still dealing with the fall out from her wedding and the romantic attentions of former enemy Dan (Penn Badgley) and that of old boyfriend Chuck (Ed Westwick).

It seems like the course of true love never runs smooth for the Gossip Girl crowd!
