Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody, The O.C.
They'll always have summer.
The pair's off-camera three-year relationship was arguably as beloved as their on-screen dynamic as Seth and Summer. So, their 2006 split was devastating for millennials. But Brody and Bilson remain friends, with their unexpected airport run-in delighting the Internet in 2019 and Brody appearing on his ex-girlfriend's rewatch podcast last year.
"Watching the show and, like, going back into that time and everything else, you taught me how to act well," Bilson told him. "I was like, 'Dude, I was never better than when I was acting with you.'"
Now, Brody has two kids with Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, whom he wed in 2014. Yes, Seth Cohen married Blair Waldorf. "It's not bizarre. To be perfectly honest, it was a little embarrassing," Brody told GQ in 2019 of the reaction to the cross-teen drama pairing. "I guess love knows no bounds?"
