Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick Marries Amy Jackson
In the Gossip Girl TV series, wealthy and handsome Chuck Bass got the girl. But it looks like his fairytale ending hasn’t eluded the actor who played the reformed womanizer.
Ed Westwick tied the knot with actress Amy Jackson in a lavish three-day celebration on the Amalfi Coast at Castello Di Rocca on August 24.
“The journey has just begun,” the couple captioned their IG post.
Truth be told; however, they were already married! According to PEOPLE, the couple first said “I do’s” in a small civil ceremony at The Connaught Hotel in London on August 9!
The Supergirl actress told the magazine that the interesting old town has a “timeless romance and vintage charm,” making it perfect for their nuptials. “We wanted a wedding spot that was not only naturally beautiful, surrounded by the ocean, hills, and vineyards, but also unique, and we found just that,” Jackson described.
Her four-year-old son Andreas, whom she shares with London-based entrepreneur George Panayiotou, was best man.
“He walked down the aisle with me, carried the rings, and waited for his mother with me,” Westwick shared with the magazine. “I think it’s a really beautiful way to honor their bond and make sure he feels part of our celebration,” Jackson added.
The wedding was attended by around 220 people from various parts of the world, including Westwick’s on-screen stepmom Kelly Rutherford who played the part of Lily van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl.
It’s unclear whether other cast members were in attendance.
The pair began dating in 2021 after meeting at the Silverstone race track in the U.K. “He knew how to win me over from the get-go…coffee and dogs,” Jackson recalled.
The world watched as sparks flew between the couple. British tabloids were filled with accounts of their outings, including appearances on red carpets. However, they only went public with their relationship in June 2022.
Their loved-up photos followed, ending with Westwick popping the question on the Peak Walk by Tissot in Switzerland. “Hell YES 💍,” Jackson shared in a joint post on Instagram. “I hit the jackpot xxx,” Ed elaborated on his IG story.
While the pair initially wanted to honeymoon in Kenya, they had to put their plans on hold. Westwick had to begin filming Sandokan—a high-end reboot of Italian writer Emilio Salgari’s exotic epic—immediately after the wedding.
“I won’t be letting the honeymoon slide. Having Ed to myself for a week is my first request as Mrs. Westwick,” 32-year-old Jackson jokingly promises.
