On-and-off-screen coupleBlake Lively and Penn Badgley look positively sun-kissed at the CW Network’s Upfronts at Lincoln Center on Tuesday in New York City.

The Gossip Girl costars recently came back from a lovefest in Mexico this past weekend!

“It’s the first show we developed exclusively for the CW,” President of Entertainment of The CW Dawn Ostroff said of Gossip Girl. “It’s amazing the kind of press and attention that it’s gotten. We asked, wow, do we take that building block to build other franchises? We’ll be able to create a real brand with pop culture, buzz-worthy shows.”
