The Gossip Girl alums dated for three years.
Gossip Girl, Badgley, 36, shared that their relationship helped steer him away from a"dark undercurrent" that was developing in his life.
"To be honest, I never struggled with substance," said Badgley."Blake didn't drink, and I think our relationship in some ways saved me from forcing myself to go down that road."Badgley admitted he paid a heavy price for having fame and success in his 20s. He said,"Like anybody who experiences some degree of fame and wealth, I was presented with the universal truth that not only does it not make your life better or easier, it actually can greatly complicate things, and make you quite unhappy."He said:"I was never anything that I would define as suicidal at all, but I was certainly in despair.
"It had to do with 'Do I matter? Do I matter? Does anything matter?' These questions do inform how we feel. The answer that I came upon was 'Yes.' I think we all have to come to that. I don't know how you could come to 'No' and be happy, so we all have to come to that 'Yes' somehow. Probably repeatedly."where he played Dan Humphrey.
He recalled:"I didn't want to be in television. I was biding time a lot with Dan - I was not invested. And I'm not saying it's a good thing! I'm saying it's just what it was."
