Cecily von Ziegesar, author of the Gossip Girl book series publicly took sides and revealed who her favorite couple is on the show in a recent video interview. When asked which love story she likes the most — Chuck and Blair, Dan and Blair or Serena and Dan — she went with Chuck and Blair.

“I think on the Gossip Girl TV show, the love story between Blair and Chuck is really the best one because they’re such a good match. And it’s very different from the books because they’re not even really a couple in the books. But I think you keep watching the show because you want to find out if they’ll wind up together. And it’s very romantic, but they’re also very funny. I think Chuck and Blair are the best characters on the show. That’s my favorite couple.”
