Sweet Magnolia's JoAnna Garcia Swisher Talks Making Out With Chace Crawford On Gossip Girl And The 'Plot Twist' Involving Her Now-Husband

As a gamer with a soft spot for 2000s TV shows, I can’t help but feel a warm nostalgia when I hear about the intertwined lives of Chace Crawford and JoAnna Garcia Swisher. It’s like playing a game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but with these two stars.


Currently, when you hear the name Chace Crawford, it’s likely his character The Deep from the series “The Boys,” which recently concluded its latest season in 2024, that springs to mind first. But remember, he will always be synonymous with his role as Nate Archibald in the “Gossip Girl” cast too. Now, we step back in time as JoAnna Garcia Swisher from “Sweet Magnolias” shares memories of working alongside Crawford. Her on-screen smooch in New York City unexpectedly set off a series of events that eventually led to her marrying Nick Swisher.

In the world of Sweet Magnolias, Garcia Swisher significantly contributes to the interpersonal dynamics. She’s prominently featured among the main characters, and by the end of Season 3, her character Maddie remains with Cal. On the other hand, Bree Buckley, played by Garcia Swisher in Gossip Girl, had a minor role since she appeared in just four episodes, not significantly impacting the overall relationships depicted in the series.

Nevertheless, the role turned out to be pivotal in the actress’s life as it led her to meet her future spouse. In an endearing interview with She Knows, she shared this heartwarming tale.

Initially, when offered the role for Gossip Girl, my thoughts were something like, “Who wouldn’t want to spend a summer in New York City kissing Chace Crawford?” However, an unexpected turn of events took place, as instead of sharing on-screen kisses with Chase, I found myself kissing my future husband. This is where I met Nick [Swisher].

JoAnna Garcia Swisher made an appearance in four episodes during the third season of “Gossip Girl,” specifically episodes one, two, three, and five, which were broadcasted in 2009. In these episodes, she portrayed a romantic interest for Nate’s character, whom he encountered during the summer. Their relationship was intense and brief, as is often typical on this show.

Their connection was intense, characterized by frequent kissing, and it concluded dramatically, marked by deception.

In reality, Garcia Swisher’s love story concluded more joyfully. She shared that she crossed paths with her spouse in a bustling metropolis, and their marriage took place in the year 2010. This encounter seems incredibly charming, as she described it affectionately.

I met Nick probably a couple of days into coming to New York City to film Gossip Girl.
