Bad news for Bluck (or Clair or Chair) fans: Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) are breaking up.

Rumors have been swirling on message boards that the two would split before the end of the season but now E! News has confirmed it. And there’s no way to sugar coat it. Insiders are saying, “It’s a bad, bad breakup.”

After almost a full season of peace and love between Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf, it will be Chuck who ends it.

Apparently, Chuck does “something horrible,” and everyone hates him for it. It will come as no surprise to fans that Jack Bass (Desmond Harrington) is also implicated in the break up drama.

No word yet on how long their off-again status will last, but it will unfold in either episode 17 (“Inglourious Bassterds”) or episode 18 (“The Unblairable Lightness of Being”), which air in mid-April.

The show is currently on hiatus until March 8. Its replacement, Life Unexpected, debuted Monday night to the highest ratings The CW has seen in a year. Hopefully, Life’s success won’t mean the end of Gossip Girl all together.
