Television seriesEdit

Season 4Edit

Louis and Blair met at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris at the beginning of season four, where Blair is staring at her favourite painting by Manet. Louis approaches her (being a Manet lover himself) and asks her out on a date.

Their short-lived romance ends when Blair returns to New York, but she leaves Louis one of her shoes, stating "you can always come find me."

Towards the end of season four, Louis arrives in Manhattan with Blair's shoe and they start dating again. They get engaged and leave for Monaco for the summer together. He and Blair were expecting a child.

Season 5Edit

In season five, Blair loses the baby in a car accident, but she and Louis stay together. On their wedding day, a video of Blair confessing her love to Chuck is uploaded to Gossip Girl in the middle of the ceremony. However, the wedding proceeds as planned, but during their last dance before departing for their honeymoon, Louis tells Blair that he is done with her. In his ultimatum, Louis instructs Blair to smile and act happy in public, but in private, they will be like strangers.
