The twosome called it quits in mid-September, on amicable terms. "They’re professionals," an insider says of the pair. "They're still good friends and hang out on set."
The duo, who met as pre-teens in L.A., then began dating as their characters, Dan and Serena, were also dating on Gossip Girl, "kept this to themselves for a while."
