Chace Crawford 'wants connection to partner'

Chace Crawford has reportedly admitted that he would like a relationship in which his partner "touches him on the inside".

The Gossip Girl actor, who is rumoured to be dating Kelly Osbourne, revealed that he needs to feel a connection with the woman he is with.

He told In Touch: "I want a girl who touches me on the inside. I hardly meet any of that kind though. That is the reason I haven't had a girlfriend for a while."

Crawford added that he's not interested in just sleeping around.

He said: "Sex is not that important to me."

Chace Crawford's London Love

Having recently returned to the States, it seems as if Chace Crawford may have gone and left his heart in London.

While the seriousness is still unknown, rumors tell that the "Gossip Girl" hunk got chummy with a blonde actress known simply as Tessa.

Stuck in the UK longer than expected after flight cancellations due to the volcanic ash from Iceland, Chace was introduced to Tessa by a mutual friend - with the twosome pairing up for a dinner date at Le Caprice before hitting up Whisky Mist nightclub.

A source tells the NY Daily News, “Chace was trapped in London, so he spent his time with Tessa. They were introduced by a friend and really hit it off.”

With Chace back home in the States, the insider adds, “He had to return to the US for work, but he hopes he’ll see her again."

Chace Crawford is good-looking because he has been "blessed" with good genes

Chace Crawford is good-looking because he has been "blessed" with good genes.

The 'Gossip Girl' heartthrob doesn't have to work hard at being attractive because both his parents, dermatologist dad Chris and teacher mother Dana, are gorgeous.

He said: "I'm blessed. I have a beautiful mother and beautiful father so I guess you could say I'm blessed with good genes. It's important to have a certain look in the industry but I honestly tend to wake up and comb my hair with my hands. I think I have three pairs of the same jeans, so when I find something I like, I tend to stick with it."

Although he is naturally handsome, Chace admits he works out regularly in the gym to maintain his toned physique.

He added: "I'm a big gym frequenter. I guess I got it from playing sports in Texas. I played football from fifth grade onwards so working out was part of my lifestyle. My sister is a personal trainer and my dad and mom go to the gym so it's kind of a family thing. It's a way of life, a lifestyle."
