Sebastian Stan is finally speaking out about where he stands with Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively as the actress continues to navigate the fallout from her ongoing legal battles.

The Oscar-nominated actor, 42—who played bad boy Carter Baizen in 11 episodes of the teen drama between 2007 and 2010—opened up about his relationships with the cast during a press stop for Marvel’s Thunderbolts on Thursday.

The hit CW series made stars out of Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, and Chace Crawford, but it seems Sebastian is only still in touch with a select few.

‘I talk to Chace a lot,’ he told E! News. ‘I knew him before Gossip Girl so we stayed close. Penn Badgley, I did his podcast at one point—but really Chace.’

Fans will remember Stan also dated co-star Leighton from 2008 to 2010, once even referring to her as his first love.

But in his recent comments, it appears Leighton—along with Ed and Blake—is no longer in his inner circle.

Stan’s comments come as Blake, 37, is embroiled in a chaotic legal dispute with her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

The legal tensions are now bleeding into her press appearances, including the premiere of Another Simple Favor on Sunday afternoon in New York City.

The actress turned heads in a Cinderella-blue gown with cleavage-baring cutouts, pairing the look with sparkling pink Lorraine Schwartz bracelets and romantic waves in her long blonde hair.

But it wasn’t just her ensemble that caught attention.

Sharp-eyed fans noticed a body makeup mishap—brown marks under her armpits where the product had transferred onto the dress.

Online commenters wasted no time pointing out the blunder.

‘The body makeup on the side of the corset,’ one wrote with a shocked emoji.

‘The gasp I GUSPED,’ another replied.

‘Unfortunate armpit spray tan on the dress,’ said a third. ‘Oh no!! Can’t unsee it!!’ a fourth added.

Despite the viral wardrobe moment, Blake cozied up to co-star Anna Kendrick, 39, on the red carpet as they posed hand-in-hand—an apparent effort to squash ongoing feud rumors.

Anna stunned in a cropped white top and matching high-waisted pants as the two promoted the highly anticipated sequel, which hits Prime Video on May 1.

Still, whispers of tension persist.

Sources have claimed the actresses clashed over top billing for It Ends With Us, and that Anna is frustrated Blake’s legal drama is overshadowing their current film.

The speculation grew louder after a March appearance at SXSW, when Anna gave a cryptic response after being asked about working with Blake again.

‘Oh, you know…’ she answered while signing autographs, dodging further comment.

A source later insisted to E! News, ‘There is no drama. They are not enemies. They are coworkers, friends and get along well.’

Also present at Sunday’s premiere was Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, who looked dapper in a grey suit and brown loafers as he supported his wife on the carpet

Also present at Sunday’s premiere was Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, who looked dapper in a grey suit and brown loafers as he supported his wife on the carpet.

However, their dynamic drew some raised eyebrows.

In a candid video from the event, Blake was seen emphatically gesturing at Ryan while he stood beside her, eyes wide, before sheepishly walking off.

Body language expert Judi James offered her take to the DailyMail, explaining: ‘Blake’s directive hand signals to Ryan on the red carpet show, not only her previously-illustrated fondness for directing the action out on the red carpet, but also Ryan’s loyal and obedient-looking responses that create the look of sticking his nose straight into a human hand-propellor.’
