One of television’s most eligible dads is apparently back on the market.
Matthew Settle, who plays Gossip Girl‘s rock star cum artist turned responsible father Rufus Humphrey, is parting ways with wife of four years Naama Nativ, People reports.
“It’s true and we are working on that,” says the alter-ego of Rufus, who ironically got married this season on Gossip Girl. “Things happen in life and you just have to roll with it. I wish things could have been better, but our focus is on our daughter.”
Their daughter, Aven Angelica Settle, was born last March. The 11-month old, who is just learning to talk, will the focus of his father throughout what could be turbulent divorce proceedings.
“She can walk but she’s afraid to,” Matthew shares with the Celebrity Baby Blog. “I try to walk with her holding her hands, but the moment I touch her she wants to sit down. She knows that you are going to ask her to walk and she’s like, ‘I’m not ready!’ So I think she’s going to be cautious, which is good because I’m not always the most cautious person.”
Sources add that legal proceedings are still underway and no divorce papers have been filed.
Settle, 40, adds to OK! that he’s not exactly on a lookout for a replacement to his 26-year-old wife just yet.
“I’m not adjusted yet,” he says. “I’m still working on that, but it’s always a tragedy when things happen, and that’s all I can say.”
Gossip Girl is currently on hiatus, and Settle is set to make his Broadway debut as Billy Flynn in a ten-week limited run next month of Chicago.
Gossip Girl returns March 8 on the CW.
Gossip Girl
star Blake Lively will spend her post-Thanksgiving week with the cast of Saturday Night Live, which she is set to host on December 5.
Will Lively be a giggly, coasting-on-her-looks host like January Jones two weeks ago, an eager to please entertainer like last week’s Joseph Gordon Levitt, or something else entirely?
For that we’ll just have to wait and see–and it’s hard not to be curious, given Lively’s lack of acting experience in the comedy department. (Unless you count certain episodes of Gossip Girl
season 3…)
This won’t be the first time that Lively has appeared on Saturday Night Live, but we’re absolutely certain that, at some point during her program two weeks from now, it will be the funniest. Way back in September, she popped up during a digital short with then-host James Franco to deliver one, solitary “so expected and juvenile, I forgot to laugh” sort of line. But SNL‘s writing isn’t her fault, so let’s not hold it against the lovely Ms. Lively.
Tune in to see what the SNL folks can get Blake Lively to do, December 5 at 11:30 PM on NBC.
Why yes, yes it is. What would Blair Waldorf think?
Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester went out with flair last night to the American Eagle flagship store opening in New York City.
The sultry actress, who is now trying her hand at a music career with her new single, “Somebody to Love,” showed up to the opening in a short leather dress with a bandeau top underneath, and later changed into multi-colored leggings, studded ankle boots, and a top-knot hairdo for an unprecedented, ultra-mod look.
Meester also performed at the event. Check out a fan video of her appearance, after the jump.
Here’s a quick video of part of Leighton’s performance (feat. her song with Cobra Starship, “Good Girls Go Bad“)
