Shauna Sand and Chace Crawford were lovers. The actress and Playboy model is quoted by Star Magazine as claiming that she and the "Gossip Girl" actor once enjoyed a sex-filled romance that lasted for nearly a year back in 2003 when he was still a college freshman.

"He was so incredibly beautiful - I immediately fell in love with him!" she recalls her first meeting with the then 18-year-old star at a college party in Malibu. And despite their 14 years age gap, the two began dating and Shauna reveals, "I even gave him a key to my apartment." It was since that time that they often had sex.

Concurring with Shauna's revelation, a friend of Chace testifies, "Chace told me, 'Shauna was the first girl I ever had sex with! She blew my mind, and I'll never forget it!' " The two are said dating on and off for a year before then breaking up.

"Chace eventually got his acting career off the ground and Shauna remarried. But, in 2007, after Shauna's brief second marriage ended, Chace suddenly appeared in her life again and the spark was reignited", Star Magazine reports further.

Confirming statement is yet to be made by Chace regarding the report. The actor is currently busy filming his TV series "Gossip Girl". He is also on board to star in upcoming musical dramedy "Footloose", which is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 18 next year.
