Blake Lively & Penn Badgley: Super Bowl Buddies

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley grab a bite to eat during Super Bowl weekend at a local restaurant in downtown St. Petersburg, Fla.

JJ reader Mike had the pleasure of meeting the on-and-off-screen couple: “I was eager to meet them, so I went up to them and asked if I could take a picture with them and they agreed. I told them I was a Gossip Girl fan and how I though they were great on the show. I found Blake to be just as pretty in person, as on TV. They were both really nice, and Blake asked me if I wanted to stand in between them in the picture, too. They were really down to earth, and seemed like really cool people.”

On Saturday, the couple played a game of flag football during the Celebrity Beach Bowl.

On Monday morning (February 2), Blake was already spotted back at work on the New York City set of Gossip Girl! Check it out below…
