Chace Crawford and Kelsey Merritt End Relationship After More Than a Year

Actor Chace Crawford and model Kelsey Merritt have ended their relationship after dating for just over a year, according to a source who confirmed the news to PEOPLE. TMZ first reported the breakup.

The couple sparked dating rumors in early 2025 and confirmed their romance when they were seen kissing in New York City in April of that year. They later made several public appearances together, including at the 2025 U.S. Open and a Falconeri event in Los Angeles in April 2026.

Before dating Merritt, Crawford said in a December 2024 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast that he was single and looking for a thoughtful partner. He also joked that bad tattoos, especially neck tattoos, were a dating dealbreaker.

The breakup comes as Crawford begins a new phase in his career following the end of Prime Video's The Boys, where he played The Deep for five seasons. He has also launched his fashion brand, American Dream Clubhouse.
