Hey, Upper East Siders. Spotted: Chuck Bass, aka, Ed Westwick popping the question. The Gossip Girl alum is engaged to his girlfriend of more than two years Amy Jackson. Swapping the familiar streets of New York’s Upper East Side for the majestic Swiss Alps, Westwick chose a ski trip in Switzerland as the perfect backdrop for his heartwarming proposal.
Here’s a glimpse into the romantic proposal and their journey together.
The couple’s love story began in 2021 at the Silverstone racetrack, where both attended an Aston Martin event. It was love at first sight for Westwick, who seized the moment to ask Jackson out for a coffee date, accompanied by their beloved dogs – her poodle Herbert and his Frenchie, Humphrey. “Coffee and dogs,” Jackson fondly recalled in an interview with Lifestyle Asia in August 2023, “he knew exactly how to win me over.”
Fast forward to a picturesque ski trip in Gstaad, Switzerland, and we find the couple in the midst of a magical moment. Westwick, 36, chose the breathtaking Peak Walk by Tissot, Switzerland’s iconic hanging mountain bridge, as the setting for his proposal. At 3,000 meters high, with stunning views surrounding them, Westwick got down on one knee in an emotional display of love.
Jackson, 31, was taken by complete surprise, as evident in the photos shared on Instagram where she is seen holding her hands over her mouth in shock. The couple, dressed aptly in ski gear – Jackson in a chic all-white ensemble and Westwick in earthy green and brown tones – celebrated their engagement amidst the snow-clad peaks. The actress proudly showed off her sparkling diamond ring, a symbol of their commitment, though keeping the details of the cut a delightful mystery.
Since making their relationship Instagram official in June 2022, the couple has been open about their love, often sharing sweet posts and candid moments. Their public debut on the red carpet came in July at the National Film Awards, solidifying their status as a couple to watch.
Westwick, reflecting on their first meeting, shared with HELLO! magazine, “She’s been making my heart race from day one!” Indeed, their relationship has been a whirlwind of romance and adventure, culminating in this beautiful commitment to each other.
Jackson, a mother to 4-year-old son Andreas Panayiotou, whom she shares with former partner George Panayiotou, now looks forward to a new life with Westwick. The couple’s union signifies not just the coming together of two hearts but the blending of a family, a journey they both cherish deeply.
Stay tuned as we follow their journey to the altar and beyond, celebrating every step of their love story, a tale as enchanting as the snowy peaks of Switzerland. XOXO, Gossip Girl
