Photographs reveal that Merritt donned a classic white T-shirt and jeans, complemented by a beige bomber jacket featuring a brown leather collar and black heels. She carried a Birkin 25 in noir with gold hardware as she and Crawford strolled around and shopped at Khaite.
Merritt shared images of the spring blooms in New York City, showcasing her recent Khaite purchase on her Instagram Stories, alongside a photo of herself in the same outfit worn during her outing with Crawford.
Crawford chose a comfortable look with jeans and a cozy grey sweater, paired with white sneakers and a black Nike baseball cap. Both he and Merritt accessorized with stylish sunglasses for their day out. This public appearance comes a few months after Crawford disclosed that he was single and eager to start dating during a December 2024 episode of a popular podcast.
The actor previously joined the exclusive dating app Raya. “I enjoy cooking, so I like to cook for girls,” he shared with the podcast host about his relationship preferences. “I’m a homebody, so I focus on being very thoughtful. I consider myself a thoughtful person.”
At that time, he expressed that his dating dealbreakers included “punctuality” and “bad tattoos.” He humorously added, “Maybe a neck tattoo is probably a deal breaker for me,” while clarifying, “It’s actually never happened!”
Rumors about the couple first emerged when they were seen together in Los Angeles back in January 2025.
Crawford portrayed Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012. Currently, he stars as The Deep in the hit satirical superhero series The Boys available on Amazon Prime Video.
