She is currently happily dating SNL funny man Bill Hader.
But fans of The OC are still heartbroken over Rachel Bilson’s 2006 breakup with her costar Adam Brody. Bilson, 38, responded to an InStyle Instagram post on Thursday, after a writer for the outlet said the couples breakup ‘basically ruined high school for us,’ to which Bilson wrote ‘I’M SORRY!’ Bilson and Brody, 40, dated for three years after meeting onset of The OC in 2003 before splitting in 2006.
There didn’t seem to be any bad blood between the exes as the Heart of Dixie star added, ‘He fared really well.’ Brody married Leighton Meester in 2014 and welcomed their daughter Arlo in 2015.
The exes continued to star in the hit Fox show until 2007 after their split. Bilson went on to date Hayden Christensen, welcoming their daughter Briar Rose in 2014 before splitting in 2017. The actress has since been dating Bill Hader, 41, since late last year, and the two even made their red carpet debut at the Golden Globes earlier this year. She joined in on the reminiscing earlier in the week, sharing a video from the show, last Friday, that showed her as Summer and Brody as Seth.
The two high-schoolers try to improve their sex-life, with some coaching on intimacy by a friend, who asks them to touch each other, but nowhere inappropriate.
She wrote: ‘Touching is underrated. Stay safe everyone.’
The comment comes amid the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, outbreak is asking a fifth of the U.S. population to stay home and stay six-feet away from people to limit disease’s spread.

The former ‘O.C.’ star will play one of the leads in ‘Lovestruck,’ from writer Tom Kapinos. Rachel Bilson is heading back to the network where she got her big break. The former O.C. star has landed the female lead in Lovestruck, a dramedy that unfolds over a single night at a wedding. Bilson will play the bride, Daisy Valentine, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Daisy is described as a “bolt of pure sunshine.” She’s sweet, thoughtful and assertive and works in music education. Bilson joins a cast that also includes Andie MacDowell and Richard Roxburgh as Daisy’s parents, along with Kathleen Turner, Madeline Wise and Usman Ally.
Lovestruck (formerly the untitled Tom Kapinos drama and Let’s Spend the Night Together) is based on a French series, Quadras, and is described as a “structurally inventive” series with all the action taking place over one night. As viewers get to know the wedding party, they will learn about both their present and past and that things aren’t always as they seem as the show explores the complicated bonds of love, friendship and family at different stages of life. Kapinos (Californication) is executive producing the pilot with director Sanaa Hamri (Empire), Sharon Levy, Francois-Xavier Demaison and Nicolas Coppermann. The project hails from 20th Century Fox TV and Endemol Shine North America.
Bilson is coming off of ABC’s Take Two, which was canceled after its summer 2018 run. She also starred on The CW’s Hart of Dixie and had recurring parts on Nashville and How I Met Your Mother. Bilson’s breakout role was on The O.C., the Fox teen soap that ran from 2003-07. She is repped by Morris Yorn, CAA and John Carrabino.
The cancellation of networks’ summer TV shows is continuing, this time, over at ABC. The Alphabet Network has decided the fate of the Rachel Bilson starrer, Take Two. Unfortunately for fans, that decision was to cancel the procedural. There is hope that it may not be done with its run quite yet, though.
Like many shows that were cancelled by their original network, Take Two may find a second life on a streaming platform. The crime procedural is being looked at by not one, but two streaming outlets, per THR. Those interested streamers were not identified.
Of course, there are arguably three platforms to choose from — Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Let’s consider the contenders. Netflix tends to be seen as the savior of cancelled series. This year, the streaming giant stood in the gap to revive Lucifer after Fox cancelled it. That series had a three-season run and developed a robust fan following. Take Two has one season with 13 episodes under its belt.
That said, Netflix is already streaming a Rachel Bilson-led series. The platform currently has her CW series, Hart of Dixie, streaming. They would know if it is a considerably popular pick among subscribers. If it is, they could be interested in having a new series that stars her in it. Netflix is not the only streamer with a Rachel Bilson show on its roster though.
Hulu is streaming the series that made Rachel Bilson a breakout star. That’s right, Hulu has teen drama The O.C.’s dramatic run. Why not pick up a show starring one of its prominent stars? It makes sense Hulu would. Plus, having saved shows like The Mindy Project, it lines up that Hulu would be interested in Take Two.
