Gossip Girl fans know that Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle) tries to be the best father he can to Dan (Penn Badgley) and Jenny (Taylor Momsen). So in a way, this is a Father’s Day tribute to Rufus and the actor who plays him.
Settle is now the father of a little baby girl, Ava, and is now practicing what he preaches as far as fatherhood in his real life.
I thought in the Valley Girls episode in season 2, how interesting it was when Rufus became mad at Lily for purposely getting Serena (Blake Lively) arrested. Rufus was appalled that a mother would do this on purpose, and it almost ruined his relationship with Lily.
I hope that in season 3, Rufus advises Lily on parenthood some, as she doesn’t always make the best decisions. Not that any parent is perfect, but Rufus seems to try harder than most. Happy Father’s Day to all of the Rufus Humphreys in the world!
