JULY 19,2025
Chace Crawford just turned 40, and he’s marking the milestone with someone special — Filipino-American supermodel Kelsey Merritt.
On Instagram Stories, Chace reposted several birthday greetings. But one post stood out: a photo of Kelsey holding a birthday cake with the words “Happy birthday, darling” written on it in icing, topped with silver candles. She smiled brightly, adding even more charm to the intimate moment.
Next, Chace shared a mirror selfie with Kelsey. His hand rested on her waist — a subtle but telling moment that immediately set the internet buzzing.
A Soft Launch?
Chace and Kelsey first stirred up dating rumors back in January when fans spotted them getting coffee in Los Angeles. Since then, they’ve kept things quiet. No grand reveals — just little moments like this one, hinting that there might be something more.
Though neither of them has made their relationship official, fans are already reading between the lines. The birthday cake. The cozy selfie. The body language. All signs seem to point to something romantic.
Who Is Kelsey Merritt?
Kelsey Merritt, 27, made history as the first Filipina to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She’s also appeared in Sports Illustrated and continues to rise in the global fashion scene. Now, she’s making headlines for possibly dating the Gossip Girl actor — and fans can’t get enough.

Social media erupted with excitement after Chace’s posts. “Chace and Kelsey are soft-launching and I’m here for it,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Others praised Kelsey for representing Filipino beauty and charm on a global stage — this time, in the Hollywood spotlight.
While neither has spoken out about their relationship, this birthday post has added more fuel to the fire. Whether it’s official or not, fans are living for this unexpected but stunning duo. NOWTREND
