Additionally, fans weren’t able to spy the Gossip Girl alumna’s growing baby bump until early July when she was spotted grabbing a bite to eat in Los Angeles with a girlfriend

The 29-year-old That’s My Boy star and the 35-year-old O.C. actor got engaged in November, just nine months after it was first revealed they were an item.

Brody and Meester met on the set of 2011’s The Oranges and also starred in the 2014 film Life Partners together.
