So the secret is finally out. "Gossip Girl" actress Leighton Meester is dating "O.C." star Adam Brody and the duo actually look cute together. The couple met in 2011 during the filming of the movie, "The Oranges," and has been secretly dating for the past few weeks.

"They were always close and friendly," a source told US Weekly adding that they were often seen hanging out in between takes. "They're a really cute couple," the site quoted another source. "They've been circling around in similar circles for years."

Rumors were abuzz earlier in the month when the couple was spotted visiting an exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art but they hadn't confirmed their relationship.

Following the appearance a number of fans tweeted about the stars being together. "They were getting cuddly today at the LACMA apparently? Hugging & laughing," a fan posted, according to the Daily Mail. The duo was also seen holidaying together in Bangkok, fuelling the speculations.

Looks like even the couple is tired of playing hide and seek and has been making no efforts to stay under wraps any more. Brody was seen leaving the brunette's house, Feb. 6.

The 26-year-old star had made her feelings about wanting to find "the one" pretty clear when she spoke to the Lucky magazine in 2012.

"I love love. It's the most intriguing universally understood emotion, and it comes in so many forms: family love, love of friends. I fall in love with everybody all the time."

Meester earlier dated actor Aaron Himelstein and her co-star in "Gossip Girl" Sebastian Stan who played Carter Baizen.
