Leighton Meester looks
gorgeous in a
Spring Versus dress on the cover of
Seventeen’s February issue, on newsstands January 4.
Here’s what the 24-year-old
Gossip Girl and
Country Strong star had to share with the mag:
On if she still feels having a boyfriend isn’t a priority: “I would say the same thing today as well. [But] I think that the importance of love is really strong for me in my life, whether it’s a guy or a
friend or just my puppy. I think love changes you over time, and whether you have good or bad experiences, you always grow and learn from it.”
On starting a family: “I want a family someday and I know that I have to let love in to create that and I think there is someone out there for me, but I’m not on some crazy hunt for that right now.”
On her new music: “I’m working with a band right now, doing a lot of acoustic music through singing and writing. It’s really fun and fulfilling. It’s an expression of what I have in my life and what I’m going through, or what I have gone through, and of course, it’s mostly about love or
relationships.”
